    It is also a question that is not asked. The establishment just assumes that the change is caused by man. The currents, the Sun, the constant change over time and all the things we do not even know enough about to know that may account for some of the changes are all ignored. Man is bad and must die.

    That is not what I did. I believe in personal responsibility. That is not what is being taught by our leaders or our society anymore. What we are teaching is coming back to bite us and it will get worse.

    The black community has bit hit the hardest by this rhetoric. But as personal responsibility is replaced by "who do I blame?" in general every one will suffer. Not just minorities either. The thug life is glorified with the young of the white middle class not as well. Black communities have already been destroyed by it and it is coming to all communities. We can not do anything about it either. We will just be shouted down as racists as those that destroyed the minority communities push the same agenda upon society as a whole.

    Even though what the jury found was that George Zimmerman acted in Self Defense. Jury instructions aside. They did not find him innocent due to the stand your ground laws. They found that he acted in self defense, The same verdict would have come in states with out "Stand your ground laws".

    Trayvon was let down.

    He was let down by his parents for not raising him properly. He was let down by his communities lack morals. He was let down by societies glorification of "the Thug Life".

    He never had a chance to become a decent man. Family, Community, Federal Government and the Press all conspired to turn him into a violent and irresponsible person who was taught to blame white males for every problem he saw.

    Teaching of personal responsibility would have created a Trayvon that not only would have never died that night, but one that could have been a benefit to his community. We lose good black men and women everyday to the teachings of Jacksons and Sharptons.

    It really was a shame that Trayvon had to die that night. A much bigger shame is all the other young black men that will die this year and next.

    You do not need to have an FDA. We could just as easily get by with a private organization that certifies food and drugs as safe. The same way UL does. Bureaucracy is evil because they suck way more out of innovation and the economy than they need to. They kill jobs, slow innovation and hurt people all in the name of paperwork.

    The FDA banning a drug for a child dying of cancer because its safety has not been established is evil and stupid. As long as the parents and or the child knows that it could be unsafe they should have the right to attempt to live. Bureaucracy stops that. Bureaucracy at the FDA kills people for paperwork. Bureaucracy allows bad drugs to be marketed if the paperwork is filled out. Bureaucracy is an attempt to make intelligent and fair decisions by taking all though out of the decision and hoping that well written paperwork will fix it.

    It does not. It just allows people to not care about the decisions they make because "They" are not making them. So they can allow evil to happen to others if the "Paperwork/Rules" say it is so.

    Bureaucracies take the humanity out of decisions and therefore do evil. If you do not believe me thing of DMVs. A person that is a really good driver that takes his hands off the wheel too many times is not given a license. A person that barely squeaks through the test but the inspector can tell that they have no business on the road are given their papers to go out and kill on the road. They passed the test. "What could I do?"

    Also bureaucracies kill the drive of the people working in them. You move up by filling out the forms and moving on. Finding problems and attempting to fix them is just "Making trouble". The creation of loads of government bureaucratic drones from caring, driven, human stock is evil. For what they do to those using them and those working within them, a bureaucracy is evil. It's intentions may be good but whenever possible replace them.

    The other alternative is to not turn things that do not absolutely have to be done by the government into another government bureaucracy. Bureaucracy is a necessary evil. Let us do our best to keep it as small as possible though.

    Yes there are many funtions we need a government for. What does that have to do with the fact that they suck at it?

    Sure, none of these are done perfectly, but they're done adequately for the function of society;

    No. It is not adequate. They are expensive and bad at it. It took FEMA 5 days to get water to the people in the stadium. Not "Because "Bush". Because government sucks at doing things. So you want them doing only a very few things that only government should do. Because THEY SUCK!

    for contrast look at all the countries which don't bother with these functions.

    So where there is no functioning government "Things Suck". That is the argument you are making to tell me how great government employees are?

    It's great to be a rich person in the developing world, but not so great if you have no guarantee that your savings account won't vanish, or that the president's cousin won't steal your startup if it gets profitable, or that the steel you buy is of correct tensile strength, or that your employees are educated and healthy.

    It is funny to me that you think those things do not happen now.

    These are tasks that private companies won't or can't take on for any amount, mostly due to the vast scales involved.

    Underwriters Laboratory. Look it up.

    The wonder is how well the government agencies do, with a hugely overworked and underpaid staff.

    Citation Needed. Mostly because the pay plus benefits of government employees are above that of private workers.

    Of course, the previous administration's attempts to privatize the military ended the suggestions that private companies could do that particular function better.

    Oh good. "But Bush!". Glad you got that in there. That really helped pull together your argument.
