You see, the problem is that there are more Village Idiots (VI) than responsible, well informed citizens. Hence the level of the debate in parliaments. There are lots of stuff that governments have to make to appease the VI. They have to talk in a lingo that the VI understand. They have to make psychological decisions just for the VI not bug them. Remember those guys asking to make a picture with your camera while passing at security check at an airport? Exactly, they do that for a couple of months after a air disaster to make the VI sleep well. All kinds of idiotic stuff governments do is because of this vote of the VI. But then, after leaving the VI at ease they can do lots of stuff that VIs don't have a clue and everybody is happy.

Government is out of control and has been now since after the great depression. And we the citizens will never get it back - until annarchy reins at some point. John Stozall said it well last night on ABC. Taxes are out of control, government has no care how they spend your money - it is not theirs thus very easy to waste. It continues to expand every single day. And we just all sit there and let it happen, why, because we are powerless to stop it. We are all slaves to the system now, workers to pay the massive spending of the idiots that control this country. West
