Not really much wrong with your statement, clear conscise and polite, thanks.
However, I do take exception to the idea that governments, even ours, are really providing "security." Furthermore, I have some disdian for the word and it's usage. The Security governments should provide, especially our, is that of securing our Human rights, of life, liberty and property. The Problem of course, is the tool and insitution of government is a **** poor mechanism for actually doing that, and often results in abuse of our rights, and of others.
"We hold these turths to be self-evident:
That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that, to
secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness."
Really, there is no security worth having, than the security to protect the rights of Life, Liberty and Property. Mind you, these are not the right to be alive, wave your arms, and buy stuff. These are rights, meant in that, a person with the right to life, is not the right to merely be alive, but rather the right not to be killed by other men. The right to liberty is not the right to go wherever one wants, but the right to go wherever one is allowed without restraint (assuming not interfering with other people's rights). The right to property is not a right to have things, but a right to not have the things you have taken from you without consent. These are the negative rights.
People seem to have lost sight that governments quickly loose focus, and instead of controlling the bad people who violate others' rights, they control all people, and in turn become the violators. The Sevant becomes the Master, and the Cure becomes the Disease. Simply putting new people in office won't change that, but the insitution has to be "reset." back to it's original princples, otherwise it becomes a monster, with a effectively a will of it's own. This is way off topic I just realized, and not much of a continuation of the side topic we were on. Sometimes it just flows out of me.
Anyway, LeFerve had some of the points I was making, and I might suggest you take a look.
