Government is a tool - a very powerful, hard-to-control, addictive, necessary tool. We must use it as sparingly and carefully as possible.

I couldnt agree more but how is it achieved. The very process of electing a government hands over to a group of people a vast amount of power, influence and even corruption. How do we as people, ensure that is tempered and designed, to serve us as you describe ?
Even at local level, our government is officious, greedy, interfering and over bearing.
How do we get politicians to understand that they are our " tools" , "servants" and not our " masters". How do we limit this power and interferance in our lives and regain the freedom and liberty we dream of ?
