Apparently in your world...

Call NASA quick! The portal to Bizzaro World is open again!

So are term limits the answer?

I'd most likely support them, tho I think some real finance reform is what I'd like to see. Take as much money out of the system as possible. Maybe give some free TV time to all, and then ban campaign ads on TV. I've read in several places that both sides spend almost 80% of their time in DC raising campaign money to stay in DC.

How do "we the people" fix that?

Hey, while you all have been figuring out how to turn a violent, corrupt, and coercive system into a non-profit organization.....the government has lumped another

$3,699,744,466.56

to your national debt obligation. Come on tax cows your not mooing loud enough.

So flyflinger, do you have an example of a successful anarchy?

At least Homeland Security is going well. Along with armored vehicles and assault rifles with enough ammo to start a, what ever it is they intend to do with all this armament, the TSA will look good while allowing 2' knife blades and banning 1/2' box cutter blades. What sequester?

You know...if you would have told a cotton grower back in the 1800's: Hey, you know that in a few years... we aren't going to need slaves to pick the cotton. In fact you aren't going to need people at all....except a few to run these great machines that pick the cotton for you. These machines are going to run on this black stuff we pull out of the ground. They are going to roll on wheels....made from the same black stuff that comes out of the ground....ect.

The cotton grower would have said a couple of things: 1. You are crazy 2. Please, can you give me one example where slave labor wasn't needed to build society. I mean when has society ever worked without slaves....they have been doing it since the Egyptian age....ect.

Here's one for all of you who are foolish enough to think we still live in a Representative Republic.

“I am concerned that the size of some of these institutions becomes so large that it does become difficult for us to prosecute them when we are hit with indications that if you do prosecute…it will have a negative impact on the national economy” – Eric Holder, Attorney General, United States of America, 3/6/2013

I'm not making the connection between anarchy and slave labor. Weren't the northern states building a society without slavery, even closer to home didn't Kansas. That's what we are told anyway.

I might point out that the preamble doesn't say to "make a perfect union" only more perfect. So actually our form of government goes back farther, to the Magna carta and it's not the plan that is less than perfect, but the adherence by those in charge, namely the people in this case. The Charter is close to 800 years old so it would probably be hard to convert English descendents to anarchy.

I agree it is very hard to get people to give up their superstitions.
