There were well over a thousand people at the Justice center, Heck there may have been 2,000. It was all about the people. No politicians spoke and except for a couple of exceptions, it was non-partisan. I loved hearing honesty and people telling it like they see it.
The one thing that I wish people understood, and I don't think they do, is that We the People are the Government -- A Government Of, By, and For the People. Folks that means that we are the Government. And along with this comes responsibility. People have to become more involved in Civics. It is that lack of involvement that has led us to where we are today.
The Bureaucracy is the problem, but the people have let this happen. The Bureaucracy is supposed to be made up of people that represent the interests of the American Public. Now all they represent is the system and its structure. Many, in the Bureaucracy, believe that the Government is supposed to be Of, By, and For the Bureaucracy. That they are a class above the rest of us. Look at the pay and benefits. During these trying times is that representative of what the private sector is experiencing?
Not all of our public servants are bad. Some of the individuals in the Bureaucracy are excellent Public Servants. We have all seen the good and the bad. It reminds me of the parable of the Wheat and the Tares (Matthew 13:24–30). It is time to root out the good from the bad. Those who truly want to serve the public should rise and those who want to serve themselves at our expense should fall.
What we are seeing is tyranny. A few bad apples are making all of the decisions that they don't think the rest of us are intelligent enough to understand and they don't want our input. They aren't living by the same rules that we have to abide by. They aren't held to the standards of accountability that the rest of us are. Their decisions are arbitrary, illogical, and nonsensical. It is time that we reign the bad Bureaucracy in. It is time to get back to basics with a smaller, wiser, more efficient Government -- Of, By, and For the People.
