The excellent advice given in this article could really be extended to all sorts of Government institutions. The best bet is to avoid having anything to do with it, or any central authority.
"The plot has been lost", and any sort of faith in ANY government institution is likely misplaced. We are in many of the predicaments we are in because "trust the Government." The time for that is long past. Their healthcare destroys health, their education destroys learning, their taxation is unfair, and their policing plays favourites in all sorts of way.
Be self sufficient, take care of yourself and yours, and never, ever willingly involve the Government in anything.
Very nicely said! YES!
Well said. Unfortunately, the people keep allowing the government institutions reach into their personal lives to grow tighter, later wondering why they are struggling for breath.
