Just started reading the new book by Andrew Napolitano, "Constitutional Chaos".  Wow, it really opens my eyes to just see how corrupt our government is and all the laws they abuse.  We are losing more rights all the time too.  Scary!

Welcome, no way to "fix" it either as far as I can tell.

$$$ will always trump "rights"

I think we should all incorporate or incorporate as groups, neighborhoods, whatever.  Then our corporation can deal with tthe government.  It might be the only way to break the control.

yea, I agree, there ISN'T any way to fix it.  What are we supposed to do?  I don't have a clue.  The government has gotten way to big over the last century.  We let it get that way.  We didn't do our job of keeping it in check.

Yep.  Congress doesn't let the Constitution interfere with whatever they want to do.  A couple years ago Ron Paul introduced a bill that would require Congress to cite specific Constitutional authority for any new bills.  

Sadly, it didn't stand the proverbial snowball's chance, showing just how much the .gov respects the Constitution.

By the time I personally was old enough to "do anything" it was already too late.

gotta figure when someone or group spends $250 million to get a $250,000 job. we're screwed.

That is a great idea.
