Waste of time trying to reboot the government. In no time it'd be corrupted again because that's what men fall to. Greed, avarice, lust for sex, power and riches. That is what drives this world. Man cannot be happy with what he has, he has to always be taking it from someone else so he can have more and in abundance. I don't want this world and i damn sure do not want to raise any kids in it. I just want to go home.

Every incumbent politician needs to be removed. They should be replaced with men who have sweat on their brow and calluses on their hands. Men who love America more than they love power and money. Men who understand that it is better to do the right thing by your fellow citizens, than to betray them for thirty pieces of silver.

Ya know I think a person would have to lead a pretty boring life if one didn't find his or her name on some list somewhere.
But to sit here and think that everyone in the "civilized" world has a folder or file on them somewhere is a sobering thought.

Provisional star! I am not saying that we do not need government. I am saying that the seats in our government are occupied by liars and thieves. We simply need to roust DEMOCRATS and REPUBLICAN from every elected office in the land. Then we need to replace them with citizen statesmen who love American more than they love power and money. It would further help if all campaign donations were anonymous and put in one pool and then doled out equally to all candidates running for office. And lobbying needs to be made a capitol crime as well as an elected official accepting cash or gifts needs to me mad a capitol crime. We need to take steps to make sure that our government is never bought out from under us again.

I don't think I'm on a list and I'm certainly not boring. I'm a peaceful citizen and I don't fear my government. I don't "fear" easily, and the few times that I've felt afraid were due to personal safety and not my liberties... I consider myself a fairly liberal person as well. I don't mind anyone owning guns and I think personal responsibility is important. You make a choice, you accept those consequences.
The government is not out to get YOU personally.
