The government is too big.
It is convoluted and completely out of touch and out of reach for any and every citizen to comprehend except MAYBE some legislators, lawyers, judges or historians.
There is NO WAY any average citizen could even begin to grasp all the bullshit that "is" our government.
Laws
Regulations.
Policies.
They never end. Its too big.
Why is it "THE LAW" that I have to pay taxes but can't possibly understand tax "laws" enuff to avoid paying someone to do them for me?
Most of these "paid professional" tax preparers don't have a clue what they're doing beyond what I know! And its obvious. And yet you go and pay them anyway.
The tax system is a farce. Its one big convoluted lie.
Taxation without representation... Ever heard of that?
Are you taxed? (Yes).
Are you represented? ( . . . . ?) You don't even really know if you are or not. Because politics is a career. Citizens no longer vote for the person they think will be their voice in higher levels of government. No. This is a lie.
People are "sold" a campaign package... just like a reality TV show and they vote for their favorite "performance". Its all lies and everyone KNOWS THIS MAN!
Yet you vote like trained rats in a maze.
You don't understand anything about your government. You can't. No one understands it, because it no longer fits together cohesively and functionally. Its all bullshit.
Fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants, make-it-up-as-you-go-along, lets see-what-we-can-get-away-with, just keep going - nobody will notice, do whatever-it-takes-to-shut-these people-up, who has the most money, who has the most influence, who can do me the most favors, bought-off, bought-n-paid-for politicians....
Its too big. Nobody understands it. Its a bunch of band aids and duct tape and papertowels plugging holes... paper clips, hair pins and twist ties... oh shit, its coming apart again prop it up, nail a board across it, shove some books under it, stick it together with chewing gum... nobody even knows what it is anymore.... and yet
WE KEEP DOING IT!!
Its just another TV show. It so far out of our reach, so far out of touch with the average citizen's reality that it isn't even real to any of us anymore. There is no 'government for the people, by the people'.
And yet people STILL play the "patriotism" card! Why? People who do this are living in the past... Like a Renaissance Fair....? That world does not exist anymore.
Its all one big out-of-control, runaway lie.... that citizens helped create, and continue to perpetuate.
What is the alternative?
Its right under your nose.
People live it everyday all around you, more and more these days.
You just have to shake your head outta the fog and see it.
Its called being conscious.
Awake.
In touch.
Responsible for self, not distracted by TV shows that aren't real (Headline News...)
Community.
Caring. Giving a shit about what's happening in your own back yard.
Love.
Its called love.
Giving. Sharing. Reaching out.

"Fools!", said I.
"You do not know.
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you.
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words, like silent raindrops fell.
And echoed
In the wells
of silence....
