Things have gotten so much worse since 1992…

Are you saying I should run for office again? {smirk}

lol. No. I think the system needs to crumble and be rebuilt. Unless you’re planning to run only to tell people that they don’t need big government and they can exit the system.

Yes, we need to start rebuilding. I keep trying to explore articles on how to get there from where we are without too much pain. It's sure not pretty to watch and contemplate a "complete collapse" before we can rebuilt.

Definitely one of my messages would be that we do NOT need big government! I've been consistent on that for over thirty years!

The pain is part of the process. It’s like giving birth. The baby has to go through the birth canal and earn its stripes. Although the accelarationists would like us to believe that it’s less painful if we just pull the bandaid off fast, I think we should be aware of the truth: it’ll hurt, it’ll be unpleasant, but we’ll be stronger for it, it’ll help us in the long run, we’ll learn from it, it is the way.

Hmm... yes, but I'd like to avoid starving to death along the way! And I do like being able to voice my opinion (even if very few read my words).
