When conservatives argue that we need less federal government, they’re simply arguing for a more tyrannical system if they do not first address the problem of capitalism.

  1. Too much reliance on state’s rights is why our country’s first constitution, the Articles of Confederation, FAILED and had to be replaced by the Constitution that is in power today.

    In a world where we are even more connected and even less isolated from each other, placing control in the hands of each individual state would make the problem WORSE, not better.

    Capitalism is a problem, particularly when it encourages us to encapsulate ourselves in smaller and smaller compartments, further subdividing us and making us feel distant, isolated, and unlike each other.

  2. “…further subdividing us and making us feel distant, isolated, and unlike each other.”

    Has been my contention about ‘corporatized pro sports,’ dividing community against community ….always has for those caught up in it.

    Just look at the hype over feuding ‘yankees’ and ‘red sox’ for decades and decades. Or the Canadiens and Maple Leafs here at home. Just examples of rivalry and division inside borders let alone furthering conflict and division on foreign soil.

    In actuality, all of it is meant to distract the masses while the elite few controlling the ‘capitalism’ are taking the rest of us to the cleaners.
