Good government vs Big government

[FA_Q2]

How do you tell the difference?

Is big government like pornography, you can't define it but you know it when you see it?

Or is it more like beauty... in the eye of the beholder? Just like one man's nasty skank is another man's beauty queen, one man's authoritarian overreach is another man's just policy.

How do you decide whether a particular law or policy is big government or good government?

Good government is that government which strives to protect rights of the people.

All other government is essentially big government.

As you stated – laws AND the enforcement of those laws is an example of good government protecting the rights of the people from encroachment of others.

That would only be true if you can prove that government is the only means to enforce laws/rules. Good luck with that since I can point to people enforcing a law in the Sterling case.

What law are people enforcing in the Sterling situation?

How well does public disapproval work on murderers?

Are you one of those idiots that thinks law only means what you want it to mean?

Did you ask a direct question, or did you ask a stupid question?

I asked two direct questions, both of which you avoided with a stupid question.
