    Ah, but you see, you havent said anything for me to assume or know otherwise; You've spouted "authoritarianism, decentralization, liberty freedom and a hard boiled egg." But the issue you have come out and said "this is going too far": is vaccinations. It would be understandable if you were ultra libertarian but we've mentioned the patriot act and you've not so much as said "yeah that's bad, but lets keep it on topic guys".
    You've come off selective. You focus upon something that is, quite frankly, irrational as much worse has been imposed yet ignored. It's textbook politicking with a right wing twist,what else am I supposed to assume?

    I am under no illusions as to the corruptibility of government at any level, only that less centralized governments have less powers and more local governments have less geographical reach. The more distant the government the more tolerant people are of its excesses
    I cannot agree with that, as I feel if it was true we wouldnt be hearing a peep about southern or scottish seperatism.

    You misunderstand that fundamentally there is no difference in the ruling parties in the US. What they say is not what they do. They only differ in which corporate interests they promote.
    Arguable, I find the main difference is their PR and that what the Republicans put out disturbs me, almost as much as the fact that it still gets them elected. I dont find the democrats' advertising very compelling but compared to the republicans they is saint like and with the uprising of the teaparty and the words of thier leaders, I find myself wondering if they themselves are starting to believe thier own propaganda. I find the possibility much more frightening than any slave to corporate interest.

    And if you see no need for governmental reform, well, guess where that leaves you. I see it was a waste of time to provide you with that link.
    Changing the 2 party system is not a government reform? Also you need to find better philosophors than Rand's groupies.

    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.
