the government's limits are effective?

George Washington said that we owe it to ourselves to elect people of like religious faith. That was the only check on our officials in public office. We have failed misserably at that.\nFew men of faith lead our government anymore.\nOne of our founding fathers said that they had given us a free country if we can keep it. However they also said that the country would be doomed if the electorate ever learned to vote money from the federal treasury into their own pockets.\nI think they have learned to do that, and are working even harder at trying to vote money out of the pockets of the rich into the pockets of the poor.

The government is (or was) established to protect the rights of the people, not to protect the people. Government is not a scam, even though most of it is a joke. I believe that our country could use a better government, not just locally, but nationally. We as a Nation and a state deserve a better government than we currently have. The government is trying to protect our rights, but we also have private domain (this includes areas of individual life that are of no business to the govt.) We have many freedoms, they just want to protect those rights.

Clearly liberty.  By placing limits on government power, individuals are given liberty of thought, speech and action.

The government is meant to set rules, not be your nanny.

problem is....they implement it only for a short time\nfor example...a bombing happened....they would be strict in security for like a week and then its back to normal.\nthe government makes decisions and implements yeah but they are strict in the early goings then basically falls asleeps.

The limitations are the intelligence, wisdom, and honesty of the liberalisator.The thing to watch out about is how far to go. You don't want chaos and anarchy. You want organization and public peace, while granting maximum personal freedoms to responsible people.

It is limited when those in power only want to hear what they agree with\n\nThere is always more progress in a freer society

Our government isn't capable to do anything at will.

sadly not much, and this is only referring to the basic system here and how it should work.  if one extends the idea of knowledge of the system to include government actions and such, its probably even lower.  i would like to think i have a fair understanding of it overall, but i know very little actually except what manages to leak out about what goes on behind the closed doors in dc.  a more process transparent government would be very nice.

It allows the police to use the excuse to obtain more funding from various sources. Unfortunately, the government tries to act like private industry where bigger is better.  Bigger is not better - bigger is merely bigger.  Efficiency is the key.  Unfortunately, the government bear by its very model is inefficient.

The state should have as little involvement in our lives as possible. The only purpose of the government (or the state) is to protect our rights, not interfere with them.
