"It all began in 1913." NO! It all began in 1787 with the American counter revolution. The Articles were replaced with the Constitution which gave a lot more power to gov. But the fatal flaw that allowed this was the belief that gov could be controlled.  The anti-federalists knew the last, best hope for limiting gov was a populace better armed that the gov. The gov knew it also. They created an over whelming standing military and the public school system. Now they rule us by force and faith. The schools teach that faith in gov is necessary and unquestionable.
