Blazing Out Of Control?

Yes, I agree with it. Even when government is serving, it is in a powerful position. It's very easy to allow a government to take over this situation or handle this responsibility and so on, because humans are lazy at heart and would rather someone else do it for them. Power hungry people are all too willing to see the opportunity and take advantage of it. We know (or should know) what happens when the government has absolute or even nearly absolute power over its people.

It is a force and it is a fire, but it is not dangerous if it is not grow out of control, not becoming big as monster and remain in its place.

In the wrong hands can be deadly. GOvenrment is to serve the people for the people by the people but seems like the people in C got their heads up their you know what and are out for thier own power not to help the American people lie they were hired to do1

The founding fathers tried very hard to avoid putting power into any one hand, or even any group of hands. The three branches that balance each other and keep the others in check was their way of making sure that power couldn't be abused. But so many things change. Being in Congress was once a part time job that people traveled to Washington to perform for just a few months a year. They couldn't foresee the advances in transportation or politics becoming a career instead of public service. But no one can truly keep anyone who is vested with power from seeking more. It is the nature of man. And it is the nature of government to strain at its limits, to take more power and authority, inch by inch, until it has traveled so far from its original intent that it is no longer recognizable as an instrument of the people, but rather it is now a self-perpetuating monstrous burden on the people. Very much like what Jesus said the Pharisees were doing to the people. The Pharisees used the law as a way of controlling the people, a burden on them. He said the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. In the same way, the government was meant to be for the people, not the people for the government. The story of power and influence never ends differently, and never will, as long as human nature remains unchanged... sadly, it always will.

I do agree with this statement and find it to be true. In some instances it is also true of life. But life can be like politics. And it really depends on how people choose to lead their lives. How they tangle with others and if they do it with class or not.

At different times in our life it can be either or. We hate the government when we are paying taxes, but like them when they give it back. They are black, they are white, they are wrong, they are right. I think it's true, if I understood it correctly.
