Mr.K, You show an unusual amount of insight. "The real problem is a lack of accountability....Accountability is anathema to bureaucracy" You have distilled the problem and the solution in one short sentence. Your next statement, however, leaves me a little confused: "Individual actions must be shielded from the wrath of the affected." "...it isn't "the government" that is responsible. It is people..." Are the individuals doing the action wearing the proxy hat of government? Are these the people that must be shielded? If so, where is the accountability. Are you suggesting that the court must act as a shield between the victim and the accused? I am not at odds with that. I do require, however, that the court be neutral and stop siding with the accused at the expense of the victim. Be careful, on the one hand you say that individual actions must be shielded and on the other hand you say government is not responsible. This leads directly to despotism. I agree with you that government can do nothing without a live body being inserted into the process somewhere. But, when a real live person is acting with the authority of government that individual ceases to be an individual and becomes the government by proxy. "Anything else will get you into further trouble with "the system." I sincerely hope that this is not a thinly veiled threat. It does not matter to me one way or the other. What is the system going to do to me, take my money? take my life? Give me more pain? I have no political life. My financial life has already been destroyed and I have only so many days left in this life. How better to serve my neighbor and my countryman than to educate against tyranny. I remember Ruby Ridge, I remember Waco, I remember Gordon Kahl. I remember Barry Goldwater and I remember.............what they did to me. "My God! how little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!" Thomas Jefferson Citizen Dave
