WTSherman, Well, this is why we have elections. There is a tendency for governments to get too far one way or the other. This is usually corrected by the people through their choice of political leaders. Talk about the "government" being out of control and requiring violence to correct it is just plain silly and absurd. People are also very contradictory about what they want gov't to do. On the one hand, lots of people moan about the "size" of gov't. On the other, they complain that the gov't isn't doing enough to protect them from bad cars, tires, dangerous prescription drugs, crime, immigration, etc., etc. Most wars are fought over a political viewpoint in some form. The Civil War was a contrast of two competing ideologies. So was WWII, and most other wars as well. Think about it.
