Since there is no one I know of who wants the United States to become an aristocracy or theocracy, and there are few anarchists, even among libertarians, I am not sure of the point of your declarations......


Sometimes the policies that people serve lead to results that the people may not want or anticipate. Perhaps the trends I see are not visible in the Northeast.

Aristrocracy? There are lots of folks in Texas who ascribe to a "Survival of the fittest" philosophy, part of which indicates that they achieved their position because of good breeding. The basic assumption seems to be that disadvantaged people had inferior parents and will have inferior children and there is no use doing more than placate them and keep them under control.

Theocracy? - Read the recent case out of Santa Fe Texas. There are many communities here that insist if you aren't christain then you d**m well better act like one anyway. (I know I grew up next to one).

And Anarchy? Besides the self-proclaimed GAT protestors, this is exactly the result that is achieved by widespread unrestricted access to guns. It doesn't matter who's smart, or pretty or hard working, it just matters who is quicker to fire. That is not a characteristic that I hope to see rewarded in our country.
