what do "pet projects" and "extravagancies" (two conveniently broad and conspicuously undefined terms) have to do to with the discussion? "waste" has nothing to do with the necessary functions of government. if you want to fight to reduce waste... thats great. but that doesn't have any connection to the reality of the necessity of the structure of the government itself and its basic functions.
you don't need a masters in anthropology to know that government, law enforcement, judicial systems, military's, public programs etc are all necessary components to any society. it has nothing to do with "faith" in anyone. you are suggesting dismantling something to be replaced with what? it has to be replaced with the exact same thing for the most part as it is a system that evolved out of necessity.
i guess now we are to think that Ron Paul is going to lead the world to a new Communist Utopia? of the workers, by the workers and for the workers.
