I don't feel good about anything collapsing. But, look around. If you think our government is taking care of the basics, which is all they should be involved in ---- uh, no.

And by the way, where is the compassion? Where is the grace? There are no homeless people living on the streets in my tiny town. Why anyone would think it is compassionate to let people with mental health issues wander around and live on the street is a new way of looking at things.

We are in this together. Or at least, we used to be. Until our government, media, education system started labeling us and driving us apart.

You are correct - Publius (and the anti-federalists) were also correct. I can't even pretend to care about the notional "Americans" 1200 miles away from me whom I don't know and have never met. We were never intended to be a "national" polity where Oklahomans are ruled by the decisions of New Yorkers. FedGov has grown into Leviathan - and simultaneously convinced everyone - that everything is a "federal case."

Remember when people used to use the expression, "Hey, let's not make a federal case out of it?" to indicate that someone was taking an issue too seriously nand blowing it all out of proportion?

I DO remember that expression, "federal case."

Regarding PFR --- probably now a Chinese subsidiary.

I care about my fellow freedom loving countrymen in every corner of what once aspired to be, and *will* be one day, a shining example and hope for all human societies.

We are the first People ever to Constitute a republic based on the simple idea of placing the free individual ahead of the group in philosophical precedence, leading to wealth creation and well-being almost beyond measure, and especially the largest group, Society itself, and its terrible agent, the State.

We may perish in attempting its redemtion, and lose battle after battle. America may become unrecognizable, or worse, become the next Third Reich/USSR, but the history we make, the blueprint we display, will not be forgotten.

We save the world by fighting the good fight.

And let's have as much fun while doing so!
