Government Quotes
-

Remember, government is not an enlightened organization designed to promote public welfare. It is barbaric, uncivilized force…military and police power put to the service of the insiders who control it. Yes, there are constraints on the way the insiders use their power.

But eventually, the norms and traditions wear off, like painkillers. And then, the pain of raw government begins again.
