Who Needs Government, Anyway?

June 20, 2014 by Dede Osborn Leave a Comment

I am noticing that while there is traditionally a lot of anti-government talk around, when there are large scale tragedies it is to the federal government that we turn and demand instant response for $, food, water, lodging, medical help etc.  [FEMA has learned the hard way how to respond and is getting higher marks as weather related disasters increase.]  Maybe because of this increasing need for large scale prevention, protection, and action linked to our changing climate and growing population, this is really where government finds one of it’s most important roles, another being national security.  I actually think that the role of government is becoming even more important in the future but not in the way that it has been in the past.  Hands off of my uterus, my choice of worship, my choice of dying, my choice of living, my choice of spouse; maybe my seat belt, too.  But I couldn’t help but wonder what percentage of the folks demanding ever more government help in rebuilding after the frequent environmental disasters are also espousing emotional anti-government opinions elsewhere…
