		<description>The government gained an unusual amount of power in 1913 with the stealthy passage of the 16th amendment, the introduction of the Federal Reserve Bank, and a permanent income tax.  I believe the growth you refer to began here, not during the depression.  If anything, I think the depression was partially caused by gov't policy.</description>

		<description>anger and denial are components of grief. conspiracists are grieving about loss of what? power? control through understanding? those are reasonable desires but it so often gravitates into political blame. bush didn`t respond quickly enough to katrina? i thought it was the state of louisiana`s job to respond first, it isn`t a federal level emergency.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The purpose of government is to control the people. Thatâ€™s what central authority does. If it can best control us by helping us, it will do that. If it can best control us by killing us, it will do that.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Excellently worded. People don't realize that control doesn't always wear a devil mask!</description>

You make a good point about the conspiracy crowd. It always bugs me that so many of them are stuck in the denial and anger stages. I often feel like I'm in the trenches of a war, and half the people on my side, instead of fighting, are busy exclaiming, "They're shooting at us! I can't believe they're shooting at us! How dare they!"</description>
