Example of tyrannical government in action

The story of Lynn Moses can be found at www.idahofreedom.net.

The summary:
Lynn was convicted of a felony, spent time in prison and was fined. His felony was prosecuted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. His crime: 30 years ago Mr. Moses wanted to build a subdivision by a creek. After approaching the county commissioners and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Feds determined that the creek "runs intermittently, and therefore is not governed by the Clean Water Act". The county required Lyn to be responsible for the water (keeping the creek from flooding). The subdivision was erected and Mr. Moses kept the creek clear.

The blog article describes what happened next best:
"The years passed. New federal employees would show up. They’d write and warn him to get a federal permit for the creek work. Moses would write back, remind the government what the government previously told him and ask the agency to explain why he required a permit. The letter would be met with silence. The issue would go away. Years would pass. Another warning from the government. Another response from Moses. And the cycle would repeat."

Commentary from Alexis de Tocqueville

I came across what I think is a great piece of writing from Alexis de Tocqueville, and thought I would share it.

"When after having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp, and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered but softened, bent and guided; men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly retrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to be nothing better than a flock of timid and industrial animals, of which government is the shepherd. I have always thought that servitude of the regular, quiet, and gentle kind which I have just described might be combined more easily than is commonly believed with some of the outward forms of freedom and that it might even establish itself under the wing of the soveregnty of the people." -Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America (1835)
