"All government, in its essence, is a conspiracy against the superior man: its one permanent object is to oppress him and cripple him... One of its primary functions is to regiment men by force, to make them as much alike as possible and as dependent upon one another as possible, to search out and combat originality among them."

~ H. L. Mencken, "Prejudices: Third Series (Le Contrat Social)". Book by H. L. Mencken, 1922.

"Government is actually the worst failure of civilized man. There has never been a really good one, and even those that are the most tolerable are arbitrary, cruel, grasping, and unintelligent." -- H.L. Mencken

You're piling the great ones on -- this also from your article:

"Every time I hear a political speech or I read those of our leaders, I am horrified at having, for years, heard nothing which sounded human. It is always the same words telling the same lies. And the fact that men accept this, that the people's anger has not destroyed these hollow clowns, strikes me as proof that men attribute no importance to the way they are governed; that they gamble – yes, gamble – with a wholeole part of their life and their so called 'vital interests."

~ Albert Camus (1978). "Notebooks, 1935-1942", Harcourt

We studied Camus in high school French, but of course didn't grasp his lessons very well.

Too soon olde and too late smart ~ my mother, et al.

“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken

"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brush fires of freedom in the minds of men." -- Samuel Adams (1722-1803)‡
