I enjoy my modest little life as much as the next citizen. I'd prefer to finish it out without having to take part in the bloodiest revolution of the millennia. I just see no positive outcome for my grandchildren in remaining passive.

I ran across this comment on another site this morning, seems to the point:
"Someone once observed that no one has ever found an effective way of pruning back or limiting a bureaucracy once it gets under way - with the sole exception of the Mongols. Their technique was savage but effective. Kill every single bureaucrat, and all their families and friends. Destroy all their buildings, and burn every single paper."

YES! A scorched earth policy, to be applied to all government and bureaucracy. It is our only hope.
Wow, our intelligence agencies alone have metastasized to number 18.
Of course, this is exactly what happened to the SEC papers in bldg 7 on 9-11, and the ONI investigators at the Pentagon.
Yes. We are well on our way to the exact scenario as portrayed in the 2002 movie "Equilibrium". The movie's conclusion is "the only way".
