Why would you "cringe" when people accurately describe exactly what the government does. Government is FORCE that is all it is. Life presents us with 2 types of organizational structures. The most common is the consensus based model where all decisions are voluntary. The consensus based on persuasion and offering choices, where one of the choices is to not perform or opting out. For example, we have 3 people in a group and the first person wants to have hamburgers, the second wants chicken and the third wants vegan. The first 2 decide to have hamburgers and the 3rd decides to not eat with the other two.

The challenge with the consensus based system is as it grows, power consolidates and moves into a the second kind of organizational known as the hierarchical model.

This Hierarchical system is a pyramid / chain of command structure where decisions are made for you and you are compelled or forced to perform. The larger the group the more you are forced to perform or obey. This group eventually gets so large you loose the ability to opt out, known as the BORG. For example is it possible to work without paying Tribute (tax) to a third party in the form of income tax or travel in a car without drivers licenses(contract with the state), license plates (tax), registration (tax), insurance (extortion to a private company) or do something human beings have done for THOUSANDS of years; consume a plant that alters your consciousness in the form of Peyote, Ayahuasca, Cannabis or Psilocybin without having to be concerned about a sociopathic criminal with some kind of uniform wanting to kill you, kidnap you, lock you in a cage and steal your possessions and your children?

I am proud to say I have never voted to have my life to be dictated by this insane group of criminals. Their "rules" are there for one reason to protect the BANKS, and to protect the system. The Banks own the government. The government treats the population like a group of SLAVES. The system uses majority rules and voting to protect the status quo and to continue to create problems only "they" ie. the BORG can fix; therefore, perpetuating the system they created. And even thought the system is severely broken, most people will defend that system.

Further less than half the population bothers to "vote" and most races are less than 10% difference between the winner and looser. The majority is about 1/4th of the population, how can be called any kind of "majority"?
