I&#x27;m sorry, but what you&#x27;re replying with is kind of the standard libertarian fantasy.<p>Shrink the reach of the federal government, and we&#x27;d be looking at rule by corporations, i.e. that don&#x27;t answer to us not only in practice, but by design.  How we know this?  Weeelll, just look back a hundred years, when we had a significantly smaller federal government.  Big businesses had far, far more power than they do now.<p>Libertarianism surely <i>sounds</i> good.  That&#x27;s part of its enduring appeal.  But for real-life workings?  Nah.<p>For anyone interested, this is a pretty good place to start unraveling the usual libertarian fare:  <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;world.std.com&#x2F;~mhuben&#x2F;libindex.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;world.std.com&#x2F;~mhuben&#x2F;libindex.html</a>
