To clarify my meaning, "people deserve the government they get" is short for saying that the evil, repressive, godforsaken government than everyone complains about is mostly their own doing. Majority rule, the will of the herd, etc.
I certainly wasn't saying that *all* people asked for it.
Right, and I was saying maybe not even majority rule or will of the herd, but a system with a dynamic of its own. People get the government they don't know how to stop. I don't know what to expect of everyday people when even the brightest anarchists haven't found a working solution. --Steve - - - - - - - - - - It is said a Shao Lin priest can walk through walls.
