Dr. Walter Williams has run two articles suggesting alternatives. One is secession. The other is nullification. He hints in passing that there is a third option -- armed rebellion.
People continue to raise objections to both secession and nullification. Most of these boil down to the idea that anyone who tries them is going to get squashed by the federal government.
Which leaves the third option.
There is a fourth option. That is to leave.
Our government is too efficient -- in a bad way. That's not to say it does things right, but it is very good at stomping on the citizens. There are plenty of governments out there who, while not as free on paper, are so inefficient that you can live your life without government interference. Many people are already choosing this option and it may be the best.
Notice I did not say that "reforming the GOP" or the "election process" are viable options. If there is anything the last 40 or so years should have taught us, it's that the two parties are incorrigible. Both are determined to bring about socialism.
You left out the fifth option, the one we've chosen for years...
5) Suffer some more of the abuses of government.
That is to leave
No realistic choices of which I am aware.

Agreed.
Do you have other thoughts or suggestions? I am not familiar with "nullification". Could you post a link that we can all review?
