Any trend toward such a government needs to be resisted.


Ah, a NeoCon to the core, I see - privatize everything - business knows best! Then only the wealthy will have police, fire, sanitation, etc. and all those will be run in the most profitable way possible, meaning the crappiest, cheapest service they can get away with. And if they're a monopoly, which they most likely would be, then it's that much worse.
