If there ever was. Someone once wrote that the difference between a good government and a bad government is that the former simply builds the roads, the latter tells you where to go. In my opinion this could be extended to "the latter tells you how to get it there". Almost as if the government was delegated the power to tell you what kind of car you could drive to work. If it doesn't have that power, how can it have the power to tell you what conveyance to use for your letters? Please refer to Lysander Spooner for an extended and depressing treatment of this subject. Jim
