You mean parasitic, right? The government coercively draws its essence from the vitality of the populace, like a leech on a cow. The populace does all sorts of things for the government that the government couldn't possibly do for itself. Does the government do anything for the populace that the populace couldn't do for itself?

Knowing that the U.S. tried to get enriched uranium out of Pakistan, because it feared the direction of Pakistan's leadership, is not a truth that helped American's much.

If the government knew that its darkest secrets would one day (one day soon, hopefully within the terms of office of the politicians responsible) be exposed to the light in the view of its subjects, it would be less likely to get involved in places it shouldn't be sticking its nose. I think that'd be a good thing, not a bad thing.

"But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain--that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist." --Lysander Spooner, 1867
