Decentralization is paramount to prosperity, liberty, and freedom. It seems the peoples must free their minds before those principles will be fully realized. I'm optimistic about the potential for such a realization, and indeed see indications that the people are moving in the direction of liberty. I always like to point out when discussing with others that the simple fact that this conversation is happening is an indication that that optimism in not unfounded, despite the obvious push to further centralize and further empower the illusory authority of the state.

Thanks for the insight! By keeping the conversation going its inevitable that more and more people will begin to see that the solution is up to all of us, and not a (s)elect few. Cheers!
