I consider myself fit and able in spite of the government(s) I chafe.

I have faced several foes bent on my demise. I persist. They do not.

So far I'm batting a 1000. I guess it's either batting a thousand or game over actually.

Let it be known that while I find anarchy fascinating...I am well aware that it is not possible. I would settle for Libertarianism without hesitation. It would be a start in the right direction to true personal responsibility and accountability.

Imagine a system that is revered where every word from our 'officials' is a lie, every issue is self serving, every penny is extorted and spent without regard for how much is on hand, and every regulation enacted exempts the very entity implementing it. This doesn't just need 'fixing' it needs to be abolished and recreated.

Anarchy would be a good starting point. Obviously anarchy leads to community, would lead to leadership, would lead to society, rules and regulations, would eventually lead to government. As has already happened.

Currently, governments have become the all powerful, unaccountable entities they are. Mankind (us..me even) created it. I am embarrased by our failure.

The nature of man has morphed (maybe it was always that way) into me me me....largely because governments have endorsed and promoted this nature by it's very action. I guess it's a circular dicotomy.

All I can do is vote as I see fit, and work, in spite of the obstacles, to make the world around me better for those I will leave behind. I espouse the golden rule, and keep both it and my previous statement in mind with every action I undertake.

out,

bear
