In Gov. We Trust

For me, the 2008 political campaigning, and the aftermath thereof, was far more disheartening than I ever could have imagined. It seemed that every day the 24-hour news cycle was satiated with empty platitudes, quips and slogans regurgitated time and time again by men and women no more suited to be the Leader of the Free World than the participants on Dancing with the Stars. Their carefully written and overly rehearsed stump speeches promise all manner of things which the Executive has no authority over . . . at least according to Article II of the Constitution. The scripted rallies are complete with fearful anger and misguided disdain on one side, and the kind of rapturous weeping one would expect from a witness of the messiah on the other side. I have to admit that I become physically ill if I am exposed to more than a few seconds of the polarizing, inflammatory, predictable, and ultra repetitive punditry broadcast by the cable news networks. Recently however, when I peruse these events on YouTube I am struck by the awesome realization that Government has become the most insidious religion in the history of mankind.

At first glance it might seem that this religion is relatively new. On the contrary, Government is the religion that began in the Garden of Eden when early man ate the fruit from the "tree of knowledge of good and evil." From that point on it was decided that the laws of nature were not good enough, and that man made laws would be instituted to ensure that the balance between good and evil would tilt toward good. The story of the Garden goes on to tell us that because of our arrogance we were banished from the Garden and made to toil over the earth. I find it fascinating that at least six millennia later, maybe longer, this same misguided belief that the laws of man can override natural law has led our once great nation to the Eve of financial collapse . . .
