It's almost as if the government as a social institution continuously and inexorably acts to expand and reinforce its power over society, regardless of any constitutional or rational or utilitarian grounds for its expansion... as if the people in government seek to reinforce and expand the job security and fiscal prospects of being an agent of government, regardless of whether their actions are welcomed by or beneficial to the people they are ostensibly meant to serve, or actually just ever more patronising and controlling overreach...
