"39% believe the current document does not put enough restrictions on what the government can do."

The "services" government provides are all a laughingstock joke, they could be replaced in the free market practically overnight with all the creative entrepreneurs we have in the world!

Just look at how fast the innovations on the internet take place, from social networking to tweeting, to all these file sharing sites, to Rapidshare and Megaupload, to Reddit, Digg and StumbleUpon! Imagine if that creative spirit was put to work providing services like courts and protection agencies!

At the very least allow people to compete in these industries! Repeal all these non-compete government-monopoly-enforcing laws and you'd see the best government the world has ever seen. Just as every few months out comes the best new computer or cell phone the world has ever seen!
