I wonder why you're being downvoted. Sometimes HN is funny. I'm not a libertarian, but it seems like one of the things people criticize (and often make fun of) them for is consistently wanting smaller government. So, with certain marginal exceptions, your statement is essentially true, and I think it's worth pointing out in this case.
