Sharing seeds of rare plants

Leo,
I think the more conservative view is government as a 'protection racket' -
if you give them money they won't beat you up (and will discourage others
from doing so).
Liberals tend to think they should promote the common welfare and avert 'the
tragedy of the commons'.
I really don't know what history has to say on the subject.

Many here overlook that the only concern of a government and its camp
followers is power: Preserving it and acquiring more.
