Large Government Out of Place in a Society Based on Small Technology

[piezoe]

You could just as easily replace the word small with "personalised," If you dont understand the article, its a knock on you, not the writer, And I knew before i even posted the article that anything calling for a small, limited government would agitate a big government commie such as yourself.

If you cant understand the fact that we are moving towards a more personalised world thx to technology, at the same time the government keeps moving towards a 1 size fits all behemoth, then you are beyond hope.

As a matter of fact I didn't understand the article at all. The author stated: "Small" technology enables individuals to make personal choices, fashion their world to their own dimensions, deploy their own talents and pursue their interests in ways of their own choosing. Standardization yields to customization. [So therefore Obama is a rotten President!] If I can understand the logic of that, then someone please shoot me!

I think he's talking about the paper clip.

please don't confuse sellout establishment politicians with the right wing.
we loved the sequester... it was the cronies, the entire democrat party and the sellout republicans (fake conservatives / pre fascists) who had a problem with the sequester.

well, just keep cutting it until a majority thinks it is too small.

It's already happening. Right wingers are saying we need to repeal sequestration because the military has been "cut to the bone."

Go out with a microphone and ask the people on the street "Do you think we should increase the size of government?" and see what they say

I think for most, size is not important

Like the lady told me, "It's not how big you are, it's what you do with what you got."

We should worry a lot less about the size of government in society than the size of business in government.

Shrink the latter and you'll shrink the former.

Shrink the latter and you'll shrink the former.

That would follow from my statement, yes.

That would follow from my statement, yes.

Great! We agree for once.
