The nightly TV news provides ongoing and certain evidence of our inability to live as a free and responsible people.

We are confronted with story after story of lawless or reckless behavior with nary a solution ever proposed that has a reasonable chance of successful implementation.

The government, conscious that some still believe it plays a role, has too poor a grip on science, history, law, and culture to come up with any rewarding legislation.

Business and finance are too busy with greedy competition, consumer exploitation, and building moats around their own corporate kingdoms to contribute meaningfully.

Universities are strangely impotent, adopting a see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil posture. They share little of what they know, so play a miniscule role in solving community problems.

Churches are silent, consumed with their own membership challenges and other-worldly doctrines.

Political parties care more about contending for power than serving the people.

The result of all this is a blossoming anti-constitutional anarchy enabled not by violent recent immigrants, but by our own supposedly sophisticated and spiritual leaders.
