As far as your personal goals are and what you actually want to do with your life it should never have to do with the government. You should never depend on the government for your retirement your financial security for anything. If you do you're screwed.

One of the things the government can't do is run anything. The only things our government runs are the post office and the railroads and both of them are bankrupt.

We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases while the citizens may act only by permission which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history the stage of rule by brute force.

I have never heard anything about the resolutions of the apostles but a good deal about their acts.

Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better Silence is deep as Eternity speech is shallow as Time.
