Well I can't agree that self-government is the best option given human propensity to do violence to other humans or trample on the Constitutional, legal, civil, or unalienable rights of others unless the is an enforceable consequence for that kind of behavior. So anarchy is not an option for a free people any more than a totalitarian or despotic government is the answer. But certainly the federal government should be restricted to doing only that which deters violence or trampling on the right sof others and that which cannot be done more efficiently and effectively by the private sector.

We, however, seem to have a congressional majority and administration that will take as much control over our choices and options as they possibly can and a media willing to look the other way while they do it.

There must be a way to wake people up, educate them on the issues, and get them to pay attention before the next election?
The people gave themselves over long ago. It will take a lot of people standing as one to overcome the freedom that was given away and sold for little of nothing.

My dad always told me you could not fight city hall meaning any government entity. I disagreed with him and pressed on years ago when I was blacklisted for complaining about sexual harassment. It took me a few years to get up enough nerve to fight back after the good stomping I received by state employees and officials but it was well worth it. I did not sue anyone I did meet some fine people though in my quest for equality and the ability to support my children. Those fine people are still very near and dear friends of mine today. I was raised a Democrat as my family is union although it was Republicans that took me under their wings to protect me and my small business enterprise back in those years. They helped me be a free agent not bound to working for another business or person. That is the part of the Republican party I love and the portion they need to get back too.

I look at my situation today and know full well it was local state democrats that took me out in a very illegal manner here in the Midwest when I refused to sell my mining operation or partner with large corporates. In as much as things do change people will have to always stay on continual guard and watch for these ploys to steal more of their hard labor, their property and their wealth. It's time for people to stand together against the corrupt influences that have driven our country to the brink. If we do not our children and grandchildren will be nothing more than modern day slaves.
