Breaking Up With Mommy

I believe that the government has invested enough in the development of our society, and that we are getting ready for a separation with our Mommy of the past 100+ years. Mommy's tired. She is, in fact, just about wiped out. She has raised herself the most prosperous society in history; by providing essential infrastructure, such as highways, the internet, the railroads, the postal service, and more; by pouring billions of dollars into educating, defending, uplifting, supporting, and counseling its citizens; and by preserving enough freedom so that we can still overturn her if necessary.

And our Governmom senses that the time draweth nigh. The numbers don't add up anymore, the stock market's bound to crash, and the people are getting restless- voter turnout is super-low, homeschooling is on the rise, as are home offices, community policing, and local social services.

The G is losing its grip. Those who can are planning now for the time when Mom isn't there anymore. Those who can't are scrambling to the trough, trying to get as much as they can while it's still being handed out. As a whole, our society is preparing for self-sufficiency, whether it likes it or not.

I simply desire to make a more specific, directed effort at bringing about our society's freedom and self-sufficiency.

Our current government is not the ideal way to resolve society's problems.

Yeah, it's real good , but since we're so close, why don't we finish the American Experiment and go all the way?

It could be centuries (or forever) before another society is in the position that we are to create a truly free, self-reliant society. Unless we succeed. Then we would be a model for the world, of a free society, as we have been (but moreso), allowing others to follow in our gleeful footsteps.

But we can't accomplish any such thing with 50% of our collective lives being woven into the chilled molasses that is our behemoth government.

Our current system of gives and takes is fatally flawed, because the line of people wanting a bully will never end, and the government will perpetually be doling out appeasement to opposing interests.

The bitter reality is that we are "democratically" strangling ourselves with our own government. If the Ds and Rs have their way, third parties will be effectively eliminated, and they will secure permanent jobs as Our Leaders.

Wasting my vote indefinitely,
