Government's Eloquent Reasoning

I was flipping through the channels last night when I stumbled on LinkTV. They were showing "Waco: The Rules of Engagement." I had heard about this documentary and had been told that it was one that needed to be watched by every American for him to properly understand his government. A brief synopsis of this documentary: On February 28, 1993, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) raided the Branch Davidian ranch at Mount Carmel, a rural area near Waco, Texas. The raid resulted in the deaths of four agents and five Davidians. The subsequent 51-day siege by the FBI ended on April 19 when the compound was completely consumed by fire killing seventy-six people, including Davidian leader David Koresh.

After being exposed to two hours and thirty minutes of government's brutality, I finally understand the following quote:

Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. ~ George Washington

If you get a chance, rent this video and watch it... And hope you never find yourself on the receiving end of government's eloquent reasoning.
