The state is and has been in history a source of disorder and chaos, and this problem gets worse the more the state grows.
Llewellyn RockwellThe danger to a free society is not the guns owned by the citizens but an unconstrained government.... An armed society is a self-governing society, just as a disarmed people are vulnerable to arbitrary power of every kind.
Llewellyn RockwellNo state empowered to do what is supposedly necessary will restrain itself to those things. It will expand as much as public opinion will tolerate.
Llewellyn RockwellTo centralize power in the name of freedom is akin to putting a crime syndicate in charge of rooting out corruption. It is the normal state of politics that the more centralized it is, the more damage it does. Fast-track authority [for government-to-government trade agreements] centralizes power and is therefore part of the problem.
