I agree completely with Indio and CZ, except for the part that the citizenry can, with effort and a Ron Paul type leader, change the governmental system back to a free lifestyle. There is way too much at stake for the string holders to ease up, in fact it gets worse in the future.
Revolutions are carried out with 10 or less percent of the people. Say 5%. That would mean you would have 15 million angry, screaming, armed, tea tossers running around this country. Say 1%. 3 million. Do you know how much change 3 million banshee zealots could invoke? They would be hard to deal with, even by the military. Military men have an abhorrance to killing their own citizens, they just might sit it out.
I actually thought that the internet was going to be the answer to the congressional power grab. How in the world could anyone control what's going on in a world wide medium? Find a place where it's legal to do whatever you want to do, and set up shop there. Sounds simple to me. I was wrong, as I see now.
There is an answer out there. I know it. I don't know what it is. I do know Ron Paul won't be able to do a damn thing, it has to come from the people. National referendum would be a good start. Stick these issues on the ballot. Let the citizens vote on them.  |
