Gosh - y'mean anything that gets to be too big and too powerful always ends up being kinda bad for most of us?
And, if we don't constantly revisit and re-examine and re-interpret history we run a much greater risk of being cynically manipulated, if not flat-out hornswoggled?
Here's a question: "Conservatives" are always yammerin' about what a bad thing it is when Government gets too big - and one of the main arguments is that "centralized power is never a good thing" - but where are they when we know with near-absolute certainty that Big Banks (just to take one good example) are ridiculously inefficient, and that the inefficiency in our financial system is a major drag on the US economy? Where the fuck are all those anti-centralized-planning yahoos when there's really something to worry about?
