if we look at the government itself as the 'dictator',
then sure a powerful government can be bad.
but i've always viewed individuals as dictators.
the individuals who run our government are still chosen by the people.
so it wouldn't matter how big the government became,
the people would still have control over it.
it would still be a democracy
and i don't want the government
bigger,
i just don't think we should gut it in favor of total states rights
