Small government, and why it isn't just selfish

A friend of mine posted a very well written and easy to digest post on why he believes in small government.  It's well worth a read, even if you, like me, don't agree with his conclusions.  At least you'll find yourself nodding along with the goals we all agree on.

Please read so the next time someone brings it up you won't immediately think they're an idiot. Frankly, the next time anyone brings up a political discussion you should approach it with an open mind.  Reading his post is just one way to start doing that.

You'll find my response in his comments if you're interested.  I may flesh it out into something larger to post here at some point.
