I do my best to avoid dealing with political activities and don't care for the loss of freedom that occurs naturally with even the smallest of political ideas. But often times I discuss politics with some of my close friends and nearly always there is a large agreeance between us in the direction of Government being a failure of freedom.
When discussing politics, every one of our discussions tends to have theories on 'fixing' something or doing something better then they currently do it. At one point, a very great guy and all around awesome friend, had asked me a question that I couldn't properly answer. No answer to it truly made sense and we agree on 99% of our theories and solutions except for he has accepted the very negative outlook of corruption and I haven't (although I am think I may be just about there). The question is, "How is it that we can come up with these simple and positive solutions but the genius' in office cannot?" This friend understands that all of our elected officials have made it into office by being very intelligent and not the "dumb ass's" that most of us view when we think of what they are or are not accomplishing.
Today, on Facebook, American Exceptionalism had a link with this quote: "There is a salutary effect to minding one's business: the more one withdraws from politics, the more one realizes how trifling politics actually is, while concurrently realizing how cooperation and freedom provide the best solutions to the greatest number of problems." and I just had to, and am very glad I did click on it and read the whole article. The article was one by Stephen Mauzy and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
Read the article HERE and then come back and lets start the solution.
The Solution? Stop supporting it. Some of us support it consciously and other subconsciously. Take a moment to think about what your doing to support this system and come up with a solution that works for you to stop supporting it. One solution does not work for all of us but there is a solution for each of us. It's up to you. Feel free to share your idea. It may work for someone else as well.
Thanks,
James
