Yeah, I disagree with your assessment the gov't is irrelevant, too. As a matter of fact, I think the gov't becomes more relevant the more it intrudes into places it has no business being. I completely agree with Singlestack's take on it.

For the same reasons I think this is an incorrect assessment, too. Gov't serves some very important functions. And gov't does a lot of things. Most of what gov't does is inefficient when compared to the private sector. But if gov't truly did nothing then why do we constantly rant on how intrusive they are in our lives? Gov't does plenty...most of which we could do without or do on our own.
