Quote by Michelle Malkin

When bureaucrats talk about increasing our 'access' to x, y or z, what they're really talking about is increasing exponentially their control over our lives. As it is with the government health care takeover, so it is with the newly approved government plan to 'increase' Internet 'access.'

When bureaucrats talk about increasing our 'access' to x, y

Summary

This quote expresses the perspective that when bureaucrats claim to improve our access to certain things, such as healthcare or the internet, they are actually seeking to gain more power and control over our personal lives. The comparison is drawn between the government's control over healthcare and their purported plans to increase internet access. The underlying message suggests skepticism towards governmental initiatives, suggesting that they may use the guise of increased access to mask their intentions of expanding control.

The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.
