[Hoot Gibson]

What if at the local level, they aren't doing it? Who is to take over?

Then people deserve the government that they get. Sometimes that will disappoint me and sometimes it will disappoint you, but I know that the failings of local government can often be corrected through the determined efforts of one man or one woman.

Once the federal government gains control of any facet of our life, there is little that an individual or even a large number of individuals can do to affect change. And this belief is one of the main ones that defines me as a conservative/libertarian.
