Well I can say one thing for certain, In my lifetime I have never seen the government
get any smaller or less intrusive. And thats almost three quarter of a century.
FINnFUR, since a great deal of what we are using to try and illustrate our varying viewpoints has to do with past dealings of big government, I wonder if I might ask for your insight?
Over your lifetime, can you think of an instance(s) where the government proposed sweeping changes, only to encounter stiff opposition? Specifically do you recall the mood on the streets, as it were, regarding those changes? Was there talk of going too far, assurances from folks that this was the end all move, promises that if such legislation passed the country would never recover, and widespread damage would result?
And what was the outcome? How did things play out? Did the future, as foretold by these people actually come to pass?
