| Message | Government in the 23rd Century is too large and wasteful. Most people are well capable of governming themselves, all that is required is a police to ensure no foul play amongst the people, a sufficiently equipped military to prevent and deter attacks from other nations, and the minimum amount of government to organise such. A mayor and in effect two heads of state are unnecessary costs. This bill is also a good step on the way to the libertarian ideal of zero government. |
