“Lack of government does not mean anarchy or chaos.”

I have re-read what Sundance wrote about the Left/Right spectrum of Freedom to try understand why that statement alone has aroused so much passionate disagreement. I, maybe through my ignorance of the latest labels for political extremes, have always assumed this paradigm to be correct: Tyrannical Dictatorship at the far Left and Anarchy at the far Right with the conclusion that neither extreme is good for civilization. Beyond that, I just assumed Sundance was trying to sort it out as to what was the goal of the occupation in the first place and where did it end up. Due to the many questions, it seemed that Sundance said this doesn’t look like it’s worth their time to pursue the story.

As the old white guys long ago said, our Constitutional Republic will only work as long as the people are morally good as defined by Christian principles and follow the law. How far away are we now from that? I agree with Jefferson: The government that governs least governs best. Only those laws that are truly needed to maintain order and Constitutional functions - get rid of the rest.

People who want to live in a cradle-to-grave socialist environment in America used to be able to move to the hyper-liberal states such as New York and Connecticut. Taxes are very high to support this demand. For years, the state govt.’s have run out of other people’s money, so lot of people have moved away for that reason alone - not because they particularly minded the Nanny state mentality. Then they moved to the more pleasant places and ruined those states with their hyper leftie laws -now there is nowhere to escape in this land of ours.

I agree with you on this 100%, but it is unlikely that our hopes will be realized. Our nation has turned away from God and it continues to accelerate in what history will (or would) view as another life cycle of a nation.

In the end people do themselves in due to their own folly when they are put in charge.
