I don't believe it can be fixed either. In fact it needs to collapse as it's all based and built on lies and deception. It cannot be fixed. Only replaced. The problem is a severe lack of conscious awareness in the masses. The few need the help of the many to rule the many. Until the masses gain enough conscious awareness, they'll fall into the same old traps. The ruling class doesn't have to call an audible at the line of scrimmage because most people will just fall for the same old plays.
It's a process as old as politics (the 2nd oldest profession) - keep everyone divided and squabbling over meaningless minutiae while you run away to the bank. Magicians (the 3rd oldest profession) have been using the same trick for ages, as well. It's a matryoshka doll, with layers upon layers of corruption. If you get rid of just one layer, it gets filled in again in short order. The system must be torn down to the ground and rebuilt, much as the US Founders tried to do - though they kept too much of the old system in place and it reproduced, just like the magic broom in Fantasia.
Yes indeed. The founders tried to make hell better instead of just leaving hell altogether. Government power structures are a fallacy. They're not necessary and will never function as a useful service to mankind because mankind is too selfish and unenlightened to handle such responsibilities. There will always be a subset of fucking scumbags who just can't help themselves. Always the egotist will seek power over others, and always will government be the mechanism or vehicle to achieve their selfish ambitions. Get rid of their toys and we can start with government.
That is the ultimate battle - we need some collective institutions to multiply the individual's power to achieve a goal. As I noted in my book, the same features that make corporations useful, also make them dangerous, but how can we get rid of fire because some people are pyromaniacs? For example, a neighborhood bands together to build a road and everyone but the old curmudgeon chips in on the cost. Do we force him to pay up at the point of a gun, or let him slide and have use of the road without contributing? How do we ban him from using the road, thus enforcing the need to contribute or lose access? Once we agree that collectivism is useful for many things, we open a whole can of worms that grows like a cancer. It's a very old problem that has no solution that I can see, as long as we rely on group efforts to achieve anything.
No point in banning anything. That never works. Just stop using the present model. This first requires re-education. The present government is not even ours. The American government ceased functioning in 1861 and was never reconstructed. There is our starting point. We need to get people to understand this before we can be rid of the British Crown's and Vatican's proxy "government". No easy task. And there are no easy answers because of the human dynamic. We are all at varying stages of awareness. And yes, you do let the deadbeat use the road. We already know certain realities exist, i.e. lazy, selfish shitbags. The road still has to be built. As I said, no easy answers. Just tough choices that enlightened people will have to make on both an individual and collective level. I think the hardest part is first getting through to each man/woman that their rights end where another's begin. Basically it is people that are the problem. We can have whatever system we want in place or we can have no system at all in place. It's the people that are both the problem and the solution.
So true, and yet not a day goes by that I do not exclaim, "Jane, how do I stop this crazy thing?" It usually happens several minutes after I start reading the day's headlines.
I certainly hope so. I would not have even searched this, had it not been for this thread that you created. I had no clue whatsoever about HOAs. and their origins. Thank You for the trigger.
Helen Corbitt. Didn't even know about her book of the Bible until you wrote. So there you go, spreading culture my friend. I did see another blipvert posing as a news story about a multi-fan air taxi, newly flight certified by the gooferment. Only fifty years late. Moller is screaming into his fists. Again. Still.
I'm not sure about all this collective guilt. I might not "we" as much as you have done here. But the wee-wee is still making the snow yellow. I'm not sure it was the Shrub family at the heart of the evil. There are some, such as the inimitable @Frances Leader who insist that the black nobility of Venice are at the centre of all these terrible events, and from what I see the details sort out. The Shrubs and the Clintons and Obama, while certainly evil in and of themselves, are largely tools in the hands of more shadowy evils hiding from the light.
But there is a just God who rules the affairs of mankind. And we're not done here, yet. I mean, here we are, so we clearly have work to do. God's will be done. Amen.
Humanity is always a work in progress. We haven't faced a calamity on this scale in a long time - to the point where the last one is relegated to myth these days - but our species has endured nonetheless. The real trick is to survive this one with some amount of the extant civilization intact, unlike the last ones. The next trick is to ensure the correct parts of this civilization survive, and therein lies the rub.
The tricky parts are to get rid of the demon worshippers who have the power to destroy much of what we have built and to keep them and their ilk from ever having power again. Simply killing every European aristocrat probably won't get the job done at this point.
I am of the opinion that one cannot get rid of evil without destroying good, since it is the tension between the two that is the genesis of creativity. However, what humanity must do is recognize evil in all its guises, so that we are not fooled by the Sirens and find ourselves continuously grounded on the rocks. Ultimately, it is the ancient battle of quality versus quantity that underlies all cycles of creation and destruction.
Elijah says that you can definitely get rid of evil without destroying good. He finds the notion that the two are intertwined to be amusing. There were a great many priests of Baal whose failure to call down fire from heaven led to their demise. Elijah slew them with his sword. God's will be done. Amen.
Eliminating practitioners of evil is not the same as eliminating evil. All ancient wisdom speaks of the duality of the Universe and the need for opposites to define each other. Good and evil are qualitative terms, but life and death are broader. Those who cherish and seek life/light are stronger than those who seek death/darkness. This appears in many forms, such as wealth-based economies versus debt-based economies, health versus sickness, and so forth. Those who choose life/light always vanquish death/darkness. We observe the Universe to be dark, but it is actually full of light waiting for something (incident or reflection) to make it visible.

I think it's currently billed as a "Homeowner's Association". Been there and done that!
Don't get me started on another shootin' war.

the Boomer Lament!
we never got to "meet George Jetson"
Sigh.

As a kid, I lived on that Jetsons cartoon series. What happened, indeed???

After living in such things, here is the origins of such things.

These vermin are slated for "special treatment" when the revolution comes.

It is gratifying to know folks find new things by hanging out here. I hope it bears fruit!
