    I think that the government shouldn't have complete control yet in ways the government has complete control of certain things.(please excuse spelling)

    It depends on what you are talking about? Should government have complete control over the Mexican border? A lot of people are going to say yes. If the question is should government have complete control over my personal information, the answer is likely to be No. Should government have complete control over nuclear weapons safety? The answer is likely, yes.

    So it just depends on what control you are speaking of. You cannot just expect a single answer when your question is so broad.

    The OP is too broad.

    Moderator Note (HW): I agree.

    Everyone has complete control of certain things, unless they are in a coma.
    Can you be more specific.

    There is little, if anything that government should have any control of. That includes just about everything dealing with government.

    Government should have complete control only if the people have complete control of the government.

    I think technology is advancing enough that we might be able to implement a direct democracy on a scale much larger then switzerland.

    Barring the Perfection of Democracy, it seems totalitarianism doesn't have much footing 'round here. Except in moderation- Thread closed.
