Abolish the STATE not only for the children, but for all of us and future children.

You can not fix the problem unless you know what the problem is.   I think that I describe the problem accurately here.   It is, basically, that you (well WE actually) are authoritarian by nature and thus stupid.   Here is the evidence to support this assertion:

 

I hope to start a discussion on the true nature of the problem, and it is not some conspiracy.  It is us.  --- At least I think that it is.

Orwell's Boot: our inevitable? descent into tyranny
>From the book 1984

"If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever."

To paraphrase Sun Tzu: If you do not know the nature of the problem you are dead meat.  Please go here, read and comment  I would like to start a discussion among people who agree that we do not know why more people do not want freedom, and how we may address the problem of growing government and eroding freedoms.

Here are some ideas to remember.

If (an agency of) the government can tell you what drugs not to take, it can tell what drugs you must take.

If (an agency of) the government can tell you when and where to pray, it can prohibit you from praying

If (an agency of) the government can tell you you can not have an abortion, then it can tell you that you must have an abortion.

If (an agency of) the government can tell you who you can not marry, it can tell you who you must marry.

If (an agency of) the government can tell you who you can not have sex with, then it can tell you who you must have sex with.

All of these agencies consume our resources, and produce nothing useful.
