[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5924822, member: 24302"] I want the government to take care of me? I want a responsible government that does what it's supposed to do. A government that provides for the common good by maintaining border security. Controls crime. Regulates the banking system. Insures fair trade. Develops markets with other countries so that the average guy here can find a job that'll support his family. There's a lot more to it than waving "Don't Tread on Me!" flags. Our government is failing on much of that. Might not have noticed but I spend most of my time here railing against our leaders lining their pockets and using poor foreigners as political pawns to further their ambitions. But I also see a lot of people come and go here who think there's some sinister forces meeting in secret and devising plans to turn us all into mindless drones. That's so much more interesting than political parties and elections and all that window dressing that only fools buy into. It's all a facade I hear. No, let's don't work towards building a decent system. Let's get armed to the teeth and hide off the grid up in them thar hills. When the day comes and the signal is transmitted we'll take back our country! Freeeeeeeedommmmm!!!! Sorry, couldn't resist. :) [/QUOTE]
