Please remember that the government is not the people. I know that
governments always try to pretend otherwise, but it remains true.
If this were made as an assertion of what the US government, under G.
Bush, was up to I would be likely to agree with it. (Mind you, I
haven't read it. I'm already sufficiently disgusted with the
government. The things that they admit publicly are enough to cause my
stomach to churn.) Unfortunately, I haven't seen much evidence that the
Democrats are any better than the Republicans. Sneakier, perhaps. More
inclined to buy public acceptance for vile deeds, or to disguise them so
that you don't notice. The Democrats are more concerned with people
liking them, but they are just as much power centralizers as the
Republicans. And that's the real problem. That one man can make a
silly decision and have horrific results, because if one man can, then
one man will. It's only a matter of time.
