I was so hoping someone would say this.
what does the <insert popular commentator here> mean by "the government," as
if it were one indistinguishable mass? this kind of rhetoric serves to turn
"the government" into "the enemy" by turning a population of different things
into an indistinguishable mass, much as labels like "the japs" etc etc etc.
i can't believe the way people eat this up. when someone asks "do you want
bigger government?" as if it's us against them. we ARE the government, just
as much as we ARE private industry.
as for "stupid" - well, you just don't know jack. beatty.
