| Please do tell me more about how you have such a horrid life in a Democratic semi-capitalist nation enjoying the luxuries of modern life and sitting on a computer expressing freedom of speech. |

| Well, do we really have freedom of speech? It is limited here, in the USA, as well. |

| Also true. The government has become too powerful, in certain aspects. |

| Well, certain things come from a large government. How about the Department of Food and Drug? The food inspection people and the people who make sure your medicine you're taking for a headache isn't going to have an addictive substance in it. Or how about the government that pays to fix the roads? How about the regulations on businesses? To keep monopolies from forming and to keep workers rights safe. |

"Direct democracy isn't always efficient, and total anarchy... Come on. No."
the people should have the right to decide for their own. not some old politicians in the electoral college
with anarchy, you get to make your own decisions, and face the consequences
that, my friend, is freedom |

| And to outlaw child labor and to make school attendance mandatory to keep children from being used for labor. How about the child labor laws? |

| But that freedom comes at what cost? The last time we had total anarchy we were living in caves and wiping with leaves. |

anarchy isn't a true form of government
for one, its the absense of one for two, its really just a transitional phrase for a new government to form
direct democracy cannot work with a country of this size (USA). |

| You have to pick a choice the pro and the cons of large V small. The industrialization of food was a bad thing, shouldn't have ever happened. |

maybe so, but still
the corruption in our government has spread so much
we don't have a right to petition the government
if we do, the arrest us for disrupting the peace |

| Have you ever read the book, it's from the Gilded Age. Called "The Jungle"? The conditions that they stored this food in and created it in are horrid. |

| They also will play certain cards like the racism card or the religion card or the "same gender marriage rights card" anyone who says that they don't agree with same gender marriage is attacked. Now, I don't dislike LGBT's I know quit a few of them, and they're good people. But I don't agree with same gender marraige, due to religious reasons. That doesn't make me a bigot. |

| The book the "The Jungle" was written by someone that didn't like the government, that part were the food was in play that was the only part that did anything. And if we never industrialize food that would have never happened. |
