The Army Of Bureaucrats Thrives

I understand the point. But I do not think you can get the necessary result, albeit benefit from government, without experiencing some adverse consequences. Yes, government is expensive. Yes, government can be nosy. Yes, government can limit one's freedom. What can we do about it? We need to vote. We need to stay in contact with those who represent us. It is work. It may be inconvenient and time-consuming. Who can do it? Most of us don't. And that is part of the problem. RD............... "Under the constitution, there was never meant to be a federal police force. Even an FBI limited only to investigations was not accepted until this century. Yet today, fueled by the federal government’s misdirected war on drugs, radical environmentalism, and the aggressive behavior of the nanny state, we have witnessed the massive buildup of a virtual army of armed regulators prowling the States where they have no legal authority. The sacrifice of individual responsibility and the concept of local government by the majority of American citizens has permitted the army of bureaucrats to thrive."
