Nothing is more permanent than a governments "temporary measures". Governments, by their very nature and the nature of people drawn to them, are in a constant struggle for control and power.

Like the Bible says, moderation in everything. We can't live without government controls in a society worth having but too much control is a recipe for social unrest and disaster. Every now and then government needs to get pruned back just like a Bush, so it doesn't grow too large and kills the whole garden.

Tee hee!
