Government often cloaks itself in "good works" to grab power. If they came out and said "we're going to start a department to harass business and collect fundraising for re-election" no reasonable person would support it.

But... When they say they are starting a department to "keep the environment clean"... who could be against that? It's easy to pummel any opposition with the "you just want a dirty environment to kill children with". It's bait.

It's why I'm so skeptical of "Net Neutrality". And I wish more had been more skeptical of the formation of Homeland security. Just think if he Bush administration came out and said "this will be an organization to listen to your phone calls and read your email" almost no one would have supported it.

The desire to "do something"... Is often more damaging that the supposed crisis.
