On a serious note, you are absolutely right. The problem, as I see it, is the following.
Those of us who understand the problem of an out-of-control government are scattered far and wide, like raisin in cheap cake.
I am guessing that the only way out is state by state, and that didn’t work out so well the last time it was tried.
I try to be optimistic, but the little I know of human history over the ages doesn’t comfort me much.
I agree, however the Fedgov has become so large, so encompassing and controlling, the states have become like government corporate satellites, with the home office being in D.C. Complete with threats and bribes.
Regarding the human history part...Absolutely!
BTW, this interview of Brown, is now currently being covered *at length* by LA radio stations.
