There is NOTHING paranoid about government wanting to control us. Governments from the very beginning have been all about control. King George overreached and see what it got him? Thats what they do! And a little bit is OK as long as it focusses on its original mandate (moral code, law, bad guys, etc). When governments start tossing aside our inalienable rights, and start "providing" for the common good rather than "promoting" the common good, then its game over. "Health Care Reform" is all about control when it could have been about reform (which is needed). And to wit, Climate Change legislations is ALL about control. Control what manufactures produce, control what people buy, control how people live. IF YOU CANNOT SEE THAT, YOU ARE BLIND. You, Ernie, are the frog in the pot of water that has slowly been heated up. You do not notice it, and soon you will be on someones menu. You remind me of the Tories in the book "1776" that wanted to stay with King George. The Tories liked it because they were used to it.
