they're right, things have changed and to meet those changes we must adapt the way we look at government.

I agree that government must change to an extent. The change should come from the state and local levels though. I don't feel that the federal government needs to change to the extent it has. The states originally had the power and ability to adapt. The government is more responsive to the people at the state and local levels too and have a better idea what the needs of citizens of the state/county/city than the feds ever could.

Reinstate the bill of rights. Stop the United Police States of America!
