The terminology is being slowly destroyed over time. An amazing number of people think "freedom" means forcing other people to take care of your needs so you can do what you like.
I explained exactly why our government isn't working in recent times. The method of government has changed, the heirarchy has changed, and above all, the function has changed.
Ironically, the idea of limited government subservient to its citizens is the radical concept. The "innovative" concept.
The idea of a centralized authority controlling all our lives and wealth is thousands of years old. Dress up dictatorship in any lipstick you like. It will still oink.
What ideas do you have?
Want to go back and review "Pick the Group?" Those ideas got a big thumbs-up from ER, so we know where he stands. How about you?
