What do YOU want the government to do?

"But while all people want America to be safe, most people really want the government to improve their lives."

--Sen. Dick Durbin, 2/03/2006

Is that most people want the government to do? To improve their lives? Are people so helpless that they need the government to step in and make things better? Isn't it up to people themselves to improve their lives?

Well, I, for one, don't trust Durbin's notion of "improvement" and don't want him "improving" my life.
