Do you trust the government?

[Hamilton]

And that thinking id the reason this country went down the ******* crapper

YouTube - Bad Religion - You are the Government lyrics

First of all, we aren't a democracy. We are a "representative" democracy, meaning other people govern us that we choose. However, we don't even even have that choice. Gerrymandering and the two-party system robs us of that, as well as FPTP voting. We have next to no say in our government.

Are you always this ******* thick?

1)all systems are ultimately democracies

2)'We are a "representative" democracy' proves my point

I'm being thick? LOL. You can't even see that none of us are actually "represented" within the current system.

interesting poll... do you trust yourself and your neighbors?

I don't trust you, no matter how many times you ask that question.

You have a point that we have next to no say in our government.

But in the absence of government, you have absolutely no say.

In the absence of government, we have absolute control.

Do you have absolute control? Or do you have NO control?

You would have control over yourself...but there would be nothing stopping someone else from taking your control from you.

Of course. Each individual would act as their own government. Therefore, I would have absolute control over myself.

5 hours on this site and I can already tell the intelligent from the ignorant. Do you honestly mean to tell me that congressional districts are drawn based on how accurately they represent the will of the voters?

Not true. Firearms allow everyone an equal amount of self-defense.

Dam JB, try to keep a leash on them images.

Are you an idiot or merely ignorant?
The Branch Davidians had plenty of firearms. And look what happened to them.

Unless the firearms are not equal.

It's been a long time since people were chosing their representatives.

Today, representatives are chosing their voters.

Here is map of Illinois congressional districts.

District 17, Rep. Hare, Phil

Define "equal" as it pertains to firearms.
Is your pistol equal to a clusterbomb and the means to deliver it?

In our two most recent wars, Iraq and Afghanistan, our enemies have not had those or planes or missiles...yet the Dems have claimed defeat it both of those operations.

Just sayin'.

Personally, I enjoy the benefits of a government. But given an option between one I trusted and one I don't...I'd choose one I could trust.
