How have we fallen so far?

How have we fallen so far?
Is it philosophically wise to dwell upon the morality of government? 
Are we frivolous and diverted from more serious concerns?
Should we be reading poetry, watching TV, playing golf or listening to Mozart?
A discussion of the morality of government is more than an intellectual exercise.
It has to do with understanding force and raw political power hidden behind the cleverest of disguises.
...More and more, we are beginning to feel the presence of authoritarianism.
We are coerced into conformity and obeying the demands of “society.”
We quite naturally feel oppressed.
We know that there is deceptive manipulation of the public will.
We know that subtle political forces are extracting our wealth and crushing our liberties under altruistic pretenses.
Political power in the United States is reckless. 
The political system is nothing less than mob rule. 
Private property is pillaged and destroyed, and the people are manipulated to support it.
There is no “consent of the governed.”
...The agenda of government morality is to erase man as a rational individual, transfer his psyche into the programmed crowd with prescribed thinking of the herd mentality and “correct” behavior (or correct his behavior), then program his mind so that any influence outside of government morality is hostile environment.
The common herd mentality is a product of government force, though it is contrary to man’s nature, his personal desire to acquire wealth and security, and his requirements for happiness.
In February 2002 I wrote in The Bob Livingston Letter, (www.boblivinstonletter.com, subscription required),
“Christians, in your smugness, arrogance, conceit and materialism, the time will come when you may be considered ‘a terrorist’ if you claim your faith, belong to a patriotic group or even a pro-life organization.
My friends, we are there.
I take no pleasure in being correct.
