 This is probably the worst part, "Indeed, not only are we developing a new citizenry incapable of thinking for themselves, but we’re also instilling in them a complete and utter reliance on the government and its corporate partners to do everything for them—tell them what to eat, what to wear, how to think, what to believe, how long to sleep, who to vote for, whom to associate with, and on and on."

If people are unable to think for themselves, then they are unable to ever free themselves from the shackles that have been put on them.

I will continue to vote for the lesser evil to slow the slide, but I put more effort into things like homeschooling (and helping others homeschool their kids) and sharing the Gospel.  The government is too corrupt to fix.  Our only slight hope (if Jesus doesn't come back first) is to change the hearts and minds of the citizens.
