I think you missed a civics course in college. You are confusing a political system with a social system. As long as we remain a democracy, the people vote every two years on what they want the size of government to be. That is how a democracy works. Democracy says majority rule. If you want something really really badly, but you are in the minority, tough shit. IMO, There are certain programs that should be in the private sector and certain ones in the public based on modern social science. There is a logical way to divide up which functions logically should go where. Instead of some fat women with tea bags hanging off her hat dictating social policy maybe a sociology progfessor at Cornell might know a little more. Bush tried to put everything in the privat sector and never gave it a thought. He never had a thought based in reality. He took away a lot of our freedoms and put them in the hands of corporate America which I trust much less than the government. I can vote the government out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't do shit about corporate control. Sorry Koan, but I've seen the same B.S. argument used way too much. "If you're against socialism, you must be against law enforcement, roads, etc." Conservatives believe in limited government, not anarchy. With socialism, there is no limit to government power.
