A few definitions

I dislike government, but I believe a small government is necessary. Obviously our government is anything but small. And, it is growing. Fighting the growth of our government is my goal.

I would like very much to see every government politician, agent and bureaucrat restricted to Washington, D.C. (at the federal level) or state capital (at the state and county levels), a double 20'-0 fence be built around each; razor wire mounted on top of the fence and armed guards posted at a lone gate preventing anyone of the above from leaving. All of the politicians, agents and bureaucrats would be required to carry an identification limiting their movements.

Members of our government would be forced to test laws on themselves within the confines of the fences that they are behind for a period of twenty years.

Is it silly? You bet. Let's do it.
