Very interesting article. First thing that jumped out at me was your ability to argue your own believe system, this is not common place. Many people do not have this ability, so CHEERS for that ability.

Now for the content you make a great point that almost begs the question "what is big and small?"
Are we talking per capita? Now here I think we get into an interesting dilemma. If 100% of people was government, well that's not government necessarily, it's anarchy right? If everything is nothing, then nothing is everything. Now this gets into the extreme and abstract, but if everything was food would there be a word "poison"?
So there must be something that "is" and something that "is not" for there to be either.
The challenge with a growing government without a growing population is the imbalance. A government is a machine and it must function, always.

The founding fathers in the US thought they could stop the nature of government by creating a constitution. The constitution is an archetype of God in the bible, something more powerful than any man/leader could ever be. This government is working everyday to destroy this archetype.

I've already typed to much for a comment, apologies, so super fast, this has happened before an will happen again until we learn the lesson. All trees require pruning, otherwise they will wither and die.
