Look, I'm no anarchist, by a long shot. A strong federal government can do certain big, important, good things that can't be accomplished any other way. Interstate highways, customs and immigration, national defense and foreign relations, regulation of interstate trade, shit like that. Those are things only they can do, and should be doing. You know, that stuff in the Constitution? You may have noticed that "selling our country to China" was conspicuously absent from that list.

Yeah, we're in the same boat, Brother. The bilge just keeps getting deeper and deeper, and I don't think there are enough of us bailing to keep this ship afloat. We get the government we deserve, and I guess we're all partially responsible, because we didn't inform and educate and persuade enough people to keep it from happening. I'll give them credit for persistence. It took over 80 years of hard work, but they never gave up. They created a new religion, with government as their God, and you're either worshiping at the altar, or you are a dangerously unstable heretic.
