The one thing government has which we (you or I or any corporation) DON'T have, is the ability to use deadly force to accomplish its goals.

Barring extreme physical and mental disabilities, each and every one of us is where we are today -- be it poor or wealthy, happy or sad, on the streets or in a condo, in a Mercedes or a rusted-out Pinto -- because of the choices we have made during our lives.
