'Pears most of you folks are anti-government. Doesn't that make you Anarchists? Government is not bad. Bad politicians and bad bureaucrats make for bad government. Good people the opposite. Good means does not lie, does not steal, I guess honest covers this. Bad the opposite.
It's going to take money to run a government. The larger the population the more money. I'm afraid that to do govt. well the $$ line is more geometric than arithmetic. I lived in So Cal before freeways. The LA locals used the Red Train, I think they called it. Ran on time was economical to use. When I needed to go into the City you just drove up Highway 101. After the war when the population exploded freeways seemed to be the best way to move people. Costs a hell of a lot more to build a freeway than a plain 2 or 3 lane hiway. Where it got expensive were bad people, politicians, bureaucrats, private contractors, union bosses. The only way to counteract the problem is to have a well educated population that is well informed and to remove the "Big Money" out of the election cycles. End of Ranr.
