"...the market..."
An interesting convergence of our theses is the post-market economy.
"...one effective marketing campaign..."
War very effectively recommends understanding and competence. I'd prefer, as do you, people undertook to learn and do because they stood on sound principles. Alas, Babylon!
"...some of them would have long ago burned down city hall and the state house..."
Not long ago, Sen. Brian Boquist told the enemedia that if the Oregon State Police came to arrest him and drag him back to Salem to chain him down in the Senate to provide a quorum, they'd better send heavily armed bachelors, because he was heavily armed and wasn't going to meekly submit to being a political prisoner for serving his constituents in the USA as a state senator. Salem was full of truckers and armed farmers driving around the Capitol, showing support for Boquist. The enforcers declined to enforce Gov. Brown's order to arrest senators and force a quorum.
The carbon tax bill didn't pass.
Edit: Oregon passed a law since then that if legislators had more than 10 no shows they could not run for office again. Boquist is no longer a state senator. His replacement, Sen. Bruce Starr, is similarly politically oriented, however.
We get as much tyranny as we tolerate.™
No shortages of psychos that want power over others.
If I don't have the authority to write my rules down and force them onto you, and you don't have the authority to write your rules down and force them onto others, and neither of us can delegate an authority we don't have, where do the cops get their authority?
From hell.
