Excellent post. Thank you !

This overreaching of government has gone way to far. It needs to be reversed, not just fixed. Alaska is over 95% government owned, yet the constitution says that the government is only allowed to own military bases and post offices and the roads directly between them.
Even if we flush Obama and the Marxists out, we need to not stop there, we need to reinstitute the Constitution and put in term limits.
Time to flush Congress and the Judicial system, the bowl is full.
The underlying problem is that the abandonment of conscious individual responsibility to centralized authority is an unstable positive feedback pathway leading only to greater loss of conscious responsibility. That human consciousness was in fact the profound discovery of Greek antiquity as the foundation of Western (not Eastern) Civilization. How many Duke University history professors relate that?
The clearest modern expiation on this human development is Jaynes' Origin of Consciousness and the Downfall of the Bicameral Mind. It will make any thoughtful, self honest person see the light. As well as expose the corrupt abyss of our current politics, in the USA, and globally.
Human Dignity is Freedom, not authoritarianism, regardless of the money. Although accurately and understandably fingering Goldman Sachs, that by the way is where the Occupy Wall Streeters are missing the point. (JC of course clarified this long ago).

Dear Taxpayers,
The article below from the New York Times - “Government Aims to Build a ‘Data Eye in the Sky’” should be of concern to Wisconsin’s privacy advocates.
If you missed the excellent VCY-Christian Radio interview with national author/researcher Tom DeWeese on Agenda 21, Smart Meters, Global Governance, undermining private property ownership rights, “Smart Growth,” Radical Environmentalism, state sovereignty, extreme world population control plans, etc., here is the link to last Friday’s podcast.

If you are not familiar with Agenda 21, the extreme international environmental plan to fundamentally transform America’s way of life, here are additional informational links, but there is much more information available on-line:
