Government is a terrible husband because:
(a) He's a polygamist: e pluribus unions are the norm: he's not looking out for you but your neighbor as well.
(b) He's a terrible lover: his IRS has an anal fetish.
(c) He's a pedophile--unabashedly interested in your kids at ever earlier ages.
(d) He can't control his own urges which means that another government will ultimately have to control him.
(e) He is a gun nut, buying and hoarding ammunition like it's going out of style.
Now, (e) kinda hits too close to home. I like to think gov't is less a gun nut than a malevolent hoarder, who wants it all to himself and gets pleasure denying access to others.

Comments written in response to a post examining an article by a NYT nitwit gal who sounds like she wants government as a hubby.
http://althouse.blogspot.com/2013/05/we-cant-democratize-good-food-without.htmlShe inhabits a policy wonk dream world that has so little to do with the ways of the human being that I'd like to think she's doing one of those "Modest Proposal" satires. But she's not. She's one of these people who are infatuated with government and have no realistic idea of what an awful husband the government really is.
