That's pretty much the same page I'm on.
But I might suggest that a little too little is better than way too much... but keeping all things equal too much beats too little.
As much as Nazi Germany or Commie Russia must have been a nightmare, it pales (at least for the average citizen... and frankly I don't think the anarchy-induced genocide in Sudan is any nicer than the government-induced genocide in Nazi Germany... if anything it must be worse because you can' blame the system and try to save some faith in humanity) in comparison to the hell that is the middle east today.
