I haven't read that specific book, but I have read some of his other works.
I agree, I don't think it can be avoided. I don't think it is happening as fast as some people do. I think it is the natural progression of government, it grows and grows in scope until the people are forced to rise again and bring it back within it's limits. We have been lucky in that this far the political atmosphere has been like a pendulum, swinging back and forth, spending most of it's time in the bearable middle areas. Now, what do we do when it slows and stops, which to me would mean some sort of totalitarian state, left or right wing doesn't matter, the result is nearly identical fro the average citizen.
