 BA> In this country, politicians observe only two rules (1)Get elected, and
 BA> (2) get reelected,

No disagreement here. I'm not asking politicians, though (am I)?

 BA> "That government is best which governs least.

Yeah, but that also sounds like a means. So *why* is that government which 
governs least best? What end does such a government governing least serve?

And, it's fine if the answer is the kind of statement that nobody could 
disagree with, or if it's the kind of axiomatic statement that can't be 
defended except circularly.

I think maybe it's time I gave my answer, but I'll do that in a separate post.
