There are a lot of people who want the government to take care of us.
If this keeps up, it won't be long before the government controls all of us, and takes care of a few of us. As of this writing, no one knows how it happened.

""The use of the troops was a possible violation of federal law."
"Wrongful use of federal troops inside U.S. borders is a violation of several federal laws, including one known as the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, Title 18, Section 1385 of the U.S. Code."
"“Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both,” the law states."

Check out HillsBoard for an anonymouse commenter's take on government involvement in our lives. The topis was dress code, but the conclusion is relevant to your post about governement control:

Given the socialist turn our country is taking, you may get your wish. Our children will learn to conform, conform, conform. There won't be any tattooed gang-bangers standing out, but there also won't be any self-motivated free-thinkers either that may someday grow to be our artists, inventors and breakthrough scientists. What is so great about a bland, uniform, vanilla world?
Isn't it better to teach our youth to make good decisions in accordance with reasonable guidelines?
Children don't want to feel like an inconsequential part of a homogenous group. They want to be special, important, unique. If you can harness that in a positive way, instead of looking for yet another way to stifle their individuality, you will have an amazing ability to motivate and inspire them. Heck, I'm not sure that this is the right audience for asking others to inspire the next generation to be bold and innovative. Better FCAT scores is really all we're aiming for here, right?
Mr. Schmidt, I think you were sleeping or smoking wacky weed when your English teacher was reviewing the required reading of "1984" and "Brave New World". Perhaps you were as unlucky as our students subjected to Springboard, and the curriculun did not include the likes of such relevant (although controversial due to adult content) literature.
So, gentlemen of the administration, put on your power tie, jump into your hybrid vehicle, and report to the "public trough" where you can find new ways to quash individuality. I half-expect that someday we will all be wearing identical jumpsuits, driving identical vehicles, and reporting to government-regulated employment. We will all receive the same "food vouchers" and "housing vouchers" and we will have the same health coverage. It will be a Utopia.
Yes, I read it.
I apparently did a very good job of camouflaging my comments about it here:

"So far, there remains evidence that the establishment hasn't established the ability to mandate uniform thinking by the masses."
