The ONLY thing the government is good at doing, is killing people

Please read this.  It's short, but succinct. 

Do not think that the government is going to save you from anything.  It cannot do so.  It is not designed to do so, nor does it have the wherewithal to do a damn thing other than kill you.

I may go in to why this hits me personally later.  Maybe not.  We'll see how I feel.
