Reply #2: Natural tendency [View All]

[Yupster]

for every government over long time periods to gather up more and more power to itself.

Each time there's a problem, people naturally tend to look for the government to solve it, thus giving up just one more little piece of their freedoms. if there's a crisis, the people are willing to give up a large piece of their freedom for government "help."

I think it's pretty much the natural march of history.
