Children's fairy tales


Someone posted this- and with the way the world is, I'm not sure if they were being serious or sarcastic:

"Believe it or not there used to be a time when the government worked for the people, and helped the people with their needs and they ran programs to keep society functional."

I said, "I don't believe that fairy tale. That's what statists told their children, but it was never true."

What about you? Do you believe that? Am I wrong? Or, is it indeed a fairy tale told to gullible children to disarm their critical thinking and observational skills?

Update: Unfortunately the guy was serious. He is sure an ethical system of government is possible.
