SA:  This is somewhat of why I see a big gov't gets
bigger when people degenerate.  The gov't has to try
to plug up all the problems with overhead,
bureaucracy, but when the gov't has to try to fill in
the holes of gov't (the tax code, etc...), then we've
got paradox problems to infinite.  The middle way is
here.  So, I'm not going all the way on this one with
you Platt, but I do see some of what your saying.  I
think Arlo does too, but to go full-blown one way only
is to not fix any stepping stones along the way -
you'll get a full-blown gun revolution with arms and
blood flying everywhere if the gov't is to disappear
tomorrow.
