Gramps, love the Goethe quote....haven't had a chance to read anything from him yet.
Brings to mind what Nietzche says about the state in Zarathustra in the section called The New Idol.
http://nietzsche.thefreelibrary.com/Thus-Spake-Zarathustra/13-1
'Many too many are born: for the superfluous ones was the state devised!
See just how it enticeth them to it, the many-too-many! How it swalloweth and cheweth and recheweth them!
"On earth there is nothing greater than I: it is I who am the regulating finger of God"--thus roareth the monster. And not only the long-eared and short-sighted fall upon their knees!'
This bill and many others like this over the past 20-30 years seem to channel many of the pitfalls taken in the dysfunctional, waning days of the Roman empire. We collectively play our part in the archetype that was Rome today in real time. And as with Rome, we will surely face our Great Tribulation or population bottleneck because of how the system has been designed.! In order for us to truly be Free, we will need to have our grand exodus back to Paradise.......
