It is true that for a people to be free government must keep as low a profile as possible. Big government is the realm of the dictators. On the other hand, there are some things where only the government, whether it is local, state or federal, is "big" enough to protect people from those who have more money, and therefore more influence, from doing as they wish with impunity. This is why this current Supreme Court got it wrong once more and ruled against the people and for big business. There have been several instances of this kind for this court and it does very much concern me. In some cases the states have come behind the courts and instituted new laws to circumvent the courts ruling, but not all cases and not all states. This is the one and only reason I would vote for a Democrat in this years election: several judges are in their 70's and will no doubt be retiring and the next president will be nominating the replacements. We need to pull back from this untra-conservative court to one with a bit more "sanity?". There are times when putting too fine a point on the law does not serve the people well. The following article illustrates my point. BB"
"That means that any consumer harmed by a faulty device, whether it be an implanted defibrillator, a heart pump or an artificial knee, will have no chance of fair compensation and the manufacturers will have a dangerous sense of impunity. This decision is particularly unsettling at a time when the Bush administration has been working overtime to weaken federal regulations, and regulatory agencies, and to pre-empt the power of states to impose tougher standards."
