remember: i'm not a democrat. i'm not a "progressive". i'm a left-anarchist.
while i'm usually ok with governments interfering in markets (because i don't believe in markets anyways), i'm usually very much not ok with heavy-handed governance of much of any sort.
so, i don't want to say i'm in line with small government, because i'm not - i'm in favour of very large government, larger than just about anybody that you'll meet.
but, i am in favour of government that has a hands-off approach towards the actual process of governing.
and, i think this whole fiasco is as much of an abuse of power as the thing that set it off was.
