This faith in government is not logical or scientific, Payne explains in his new book, \u003cem\u003eThe Big Government We Love to Hate\u003c\/em\u003e. It is an unexamined \"cultural presumption,\" a blind attachment that produces error and contradiction, even among otherwise thoughtful commentators. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly in recent historical times have innovative thinkers broken from the grip of this irrational loyalty to government. These are libertarians, who have realized that government cannot create a healthy society. Their growing numbers portend an evolution toward \"Neighbor\" values emphasizing personal relationships and voluntary social organization. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James L.
