Thomas Jefferson said the perfect govt is one that is as close to anarchy as possible, with just enough control to keep the peace. All the govt we need is local, and a constitutional one that is followed by the feds.

I agree with you whole heartedly. And I honestly wish that we could easily achieve that goal. But, until the "masses" wake up and begin to take responsible actions for their governance, we are going to be struck with what we have, perhaps with further erosion.

Being close to anarchy is one thing.
Being at anarchy is something very different.

The former is what made this country great.
The latter is what made others "third world".
