RE: Statism is the ideology of turning to organized force to solve problems better solved through peaceful persuasion...

Thanks Adam!! Another great post as always. I almost get a little 'giddy' when I see you have something new online. lol Seriously, I know there is a better way. Mankind evolves, so things must change. The amazing technology we have wasn't just suddenly invented, it was great ideas that were built on previous great ideas. Our government, society and culture has to evolve also.

If you actually run in 2020, you have my vote. I'm 57 years old, so I've been around for a few elections. Every time it's the same thing - voting for the lesser of the evils, but always knowing we're just gonna get more of the same, e.g., war, increased deficit, corruption, and a bunch of lies.

I have a friend that was taught by his father that you always vote democrat, it doesn't matter who it is. I have a theory that we'd be MUCH better off if we just got a US Census out, had someone close their eyes and just randomly pick someone to be president. I don't think we could possibly do worse.

H.L. Mencken had a few good quotes about democracy and government that I've always liked.

"The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable."

"Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance."

"Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under."

"It is inaccurate to say that I hate everything. I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty, and common decency. This makes me forever ineligible for public office."

And a bonus...

It doesn't take a majority to make a rebellion; it takes only a few determined leaders and a sound cause.

Keep up the great work Adam, it's much appreciated.
