To Dennis Prager's "The bigger the government the smaller the citizen," I add my "The bigger the government, the more to fight over." The more the government takes over, the more they violate the individual liberty of the citizens, the more they insinuate themselves into every aspect of your life, the more protests, the more lobbying, the more lawsuits, the more money and time wasted on pointless bickering. I floated my observation months ago and recent events demonstrate its accuracy. Brace yourself for ever larger doses of acrimony as the months and years wear on. Some are speaking of civil war. It's a Civil War: What We Do Now.
David Harsanyi's The Mugging of Personal Freedom is worth reading.
