On Big Gummint

Napolitano hits one out of the park here:

...Most people in government reject natural rights and personal sovereignty. Most people in government believe that the exercise of everyone’s rights is subject to the will of those in the government. Most people in government believe that they can write any law and regulate any behavior, not subject to the natural law, not subject to the sovereignty of individuals, not cognizant of history’s tyrants, but subject only to what they can get away with....

It's usually easy to discern Mo' Gummint folks.  They actually DO believe that their election, or appointment, or time-in-grade, makes them slightly superior to others.  They actually DO believe that their job is more difficult than anyone else's job, and that's why they're slightly superior beings.

And it is rare--almost impossible--to find a Gummint type who understands the phrase "best interests of the State (or country, or city....).  That's because they confuse The Gummint with the State.

Oh, well.
