I agree-our society is no longer civil-not even close-according to my dad, it began heading into insanity when communism started being accepted as okay and LBJ ruined the natural order of things by creating a dependent class of people who have become a modern Roman mob-he believed that until the day he died and he was right, in my opinion...
I don’t get why some people-even here at FR-seem to be afraid of not having the government “give” them stuff-or tell them what they can own, how much to pay, whatever, as if it were the government’s money-which it is not-let us have our money back-we can manage it just fine-especially after we pry those on public assistance-including the welfare mommies-off the government’s tits-why are these people afraid of controlling their own income and destiny?
The fear is rational—it is that voice in the back of their heads saying they wish the rule of law still existed, they wish that elections still mattered, they wish that courts treated everyone fairly, etc.
The change will be awful for many folks.
My only point is that pieces of paper will not be relevant.
When the time comes for breakup it will happen—and all the “rules” and “laws” will become quaint reminders of a distant past.
The dirty little secret of human affairs is that they are not rational, they are not predictable, and often they are not pleasant.
So—I understand the fear.
