GOVERN: Other option is anarchy

With all the talk about government I wondered exactly what does “to govern” mean? I went to the dictionary and “to govern” means “to control and regulate.” The part that surprised me was “to regulate.”

There seems to be a large group on the country who want to throw out the regulating part of government. They don’t like the control part either. They must believe in anarchy.

Well, I guess some adults are just grown up adolescents. They never did overcome the desire to be free of any kind of authority.

I think they would find it unpleasant to live where the six shooter was the only law of the land. They also don’t like to pay taxes. Well, they say you get what you pay for. Evidently they think the country would be better off by paying less.

There is a group who evidently think that life here is to see who can accumulate the most wealth. They see it as a monopoly game, and know what? They actually broke the banks.
