The fact is that if you want to hurt people and get away with it, there are certain jobs that meet your needs. Some cops, overseers, lawyers, etc., take these jobs for that very reason, no matter what they say.

Whenever armed thugs are charged with some task, a bureaucracy is formed. The administrators of those bureaucracies wisely (from their personal perspective) seek to increase their power, authority, and budget. The USA has been doing this for over 200 years.

I once had a marriage counselor threaten my family, after I had divorced my ex, and her parental rights were terminated - voluntarily on her part. They seemed to be outraged that I had escaped their power over my family.

Such people talk rhetoric that seems to come from a desire to help people, but all too often conceals an unnatural lust for power.

What we have to do is plan to make those people, and the agencies that sic them on us, unable to exercise power over us, by careful strategies (such as living where they don't work), just as our ancient forebears had to think about the predators that sought to eat their children.

They survived. You are proof.

We can too.
