There is only one real difference between public and private management of the economy: The government is, at least mildly,ACCOUNTABLE.
I don't know what government YOU'RE talking about, but surely it cannot be the US government that can simply refuse to comment and reasonably expect every news station to instead report on where Michael Jackson is being buried (breaking news: OR MAYBE HE ISN'T!!!).
I think its quite healthy to dislike ( ok, hate ) an entity whose stated goal is to wipe you from the face of the earth. We arent talking about some bully in a school yard, we are talking about a well funded organized corporation that wants you eradicated..
Work to prevent them causing damage and reverse what damage they do cause, but don't hate them. Hating them clouds your judgment.
Worse, hate validates their actions. It proves that what they're doing is working.
Because that doesn't seem suspicious AT ALL...
