Being a libertarian Christian I have long predicted that our century long love affair with the 'progressive' state would end in tears. Now it seems that time has come. Somehow that doesn't really make me feel good. Most people dreamed of an omnicompetent, god-like state that would take away our tears without taking away our humanity. They didn't realize that all they did was transfer who held their chains - from their families and local business men who were humans that they knew to a remote, faceless and pitiless bureaucracy. There is only one God and our attempts to substitute the state for Him are the worst form of blasphemy.
No wonder it doesn't work.
