The System Is Broken

The system is broken.

Congress can't balance the budget. Spending is out of control. Millions of tax-payer dollars are spent on ridiculous projects such as bridges to nowhere, fixing railroads that don't need to be fixed, museums dedicated to inconsequentialities - the list is near endless.

Our government cannot maintain our borders. A secure border is one of the things that defines a country, along with its history, its culture, and its policies. How can a society expect to maintain order if its police and courts only enforce certain laws and not others?

Our schools no longer educate our children. Children graduating from high school these days can hardly reason or write coherently. They know more about diversity and multi-cultural issues than they do about such matters as geography, mathematics and literature. Our schools are grooming our children into irrelevancy and dependency.

Our judiciary is now ruling the country via the courts. Time and time again, the people will vote a law into existence, only to have the courts strike it down. What's the purpose of voting if one's vote is irrelevant? We have become an oligarchy, as we are ruled by a few in the courts, rather than a democracy.

The system is broken. Perhaps its time to leave the system, to deny it, so that room is made for something new to rise up (a multi-party system).

I wonder what would happen if, for instance, everyone pulled their children out of the public school system? Or, I wonder what would happen if everyone started sending their junkmail to various government bureaucracies - millions and millions of pieces of mail - a real world equivalent to a denial of service.
