I know this will not be a popular post… and frankly I don’t care… but I will stick with Thomas Paine on this topic…
“Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.”
Until people govern from within, they need be governed from without…the desire of greed for power is what corrupts us… the governmental focus needs to be the service and maintenance of the land, but we live in a fear-based society.
The GOP …sigh… is using propaganda like the bowels of hell… step back don’t get pulled into it…xx I have no secrets …I have at the most, 30 years left on this earth… I don’t have a cell phone…I am not a terrorist… I am not involved with human-trafficking nor am I a pedophile…
I sure want the FEDS to find those who are… we need student loans and money for the terrible damage caused by tornadoes, earthquakes, and hurricanes… it isn’t perfect, but it is better than the alternative… “So, it Goes.”

I’m actually a huge fan of Thomas Paine. I also like the quote that Hamilton made in the Federalist papers about men being angels. I just wrote a post that I think you’d enjoy. It’s a satirical piece about this whole NSA mess. However, to be fair, I didn’t just lambaste one side (I’m a political independent. I find that, these days, the ideals of both parties are as admirable as they are abandoned by greedy, power-hungry politicians). But, I think that you’d enjoy it. I found the reference to Paine refreshing. Thanks.
