    Having no government (anarchy) is worse. Too many wolves out there for all the sheep to be rugged individualists.

    The key is balance; small enough government to facilitate freedom, but enough government to keep the wolves from eating all the sheep.

    The US does a horseshit job at both, because most of the shepherds are wolves.

    Well put, and, as I keep saying, you can't have small government unless you keep the corporations small as well, otherwise they'll control people (eat the sheep) instead.

    Truth. We're a hell of a long way past what's actually necessary though. And most of that shit is just to cover up that you're being sold to wolves daily anyway.
