No you can't. You are a slave to the State. You no more control it's direction than ticks control a dog.

http://CynLibSoc.com/CLS bitcoin me here: 1JH1h6etHsRMfVNT4YuBh9YLkFFRcMqUsi Twitterverse at https://twitter.com/CynLibSoc In this episode I present some ideas on what I think the decline of the United States will look like. As the federal government actually runs out of money more and more people will find themselves without jobs. There will be no “safety net” to save them. As more and more people have no source of income they will go into debt and more businesses will have to reduce spending. Reducing spending will mean reducing jobs. More people without income. Eventually the banks will fail as they aren’t getting paid for all the debt they hold. This time there will be no Bush/Obama bailouts to save them. Will the market be able to adjust to these changes? I think it will all depend on how quickly the decline happens. I think the decline will be gradual. In this related video Captain Capitalism talks about how the decline looks like an improvement from the perspective of immigrants. And in this video the Captain explains why Gen X might collect social security. I don’t think I’ll be getting any social security money – but if it’s there I’m going to take it. Fuck the children. I will happily dump my tax burden on your kids. As for the coming decline (which you can enjoy if you buy Cappy Cap’s book “Enjoy The Decline”) it might be fast. It might be slow. Regardless it is coming. All empires decline. History and math don’t care about your feelings. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOgDlwF2I5s

http://CynLibSoc.com Stating The Obvious #053 -- Teenages, Children, The State and Pulling Up Your Pants. You are wrong AND I am right! Fucking deal with it. I launch the cruise missile of my intellect. The throat is shitty today, but I must go on. School dress codes and my long hair. Chycks can not wear skimpy clothing to school. How miserable must that be for the boys in high school? TK got sent home from school for wearing socks with Tiger on them. Fucking Tiger!!!! What the fuck is wrong with you people? A mother was put in jail for serving alcohol to here son and other teenagers in her own home. What the fuck is wrong with you people? The kids were under the supervision of the adults and on private property. A woman killed her husband by giving him a sheri enema. A medical condition made it painful for him to drink. He was addicted to enemas. Talking about asses . . . Two teenagers photographed themselves having sex. One emailed the photos to the other and the police got hold of them (how?). Guess what, the two kids are now child pornographers. Why? They "could have" sold the photos. I am fucking sick of "could have" as an excuse to take away freedom. There are a lot of "could have"s in the world, and you stupid people cling to these notions. The "could have" syndrome is one of the biggest problems in our society. Can you punish people for something they "could have" done? Apparently our society believes you can. How far are you sheep going to take this? Another attempt to lower the voting age to 16. Why are you fucking liberals so desperate to get young, dumb, inexperienced people in the voting booth? Oh wait, for the same reason you want to get dead people in the voting booth. You are desperate to win an election. People ARE manipulated by "slick advertising campaigns". That's why politicians and corporations pour millions of dollars into slick advertising campaigns. Democracy is not the cure. Letting more people vote will not solve anything. Increasing the number of stupid people who vote will not result in better politics. A 16 year old child can not understand that there is no such thing as "free" health care. This is why liberals want children to vote. Homeless children in Fort Collins Colorado? Oh bullshit. There is no fucking poverty in this town. Get real. How do you "experience homelessness"? What the fuck is that? You are either homeless or not. And why are the police harassing the homeless people in the park? Is there no real crime to deal with? College students are "one pay check away from homelessness". Oh bullshit. Students are not that far from being homeless? Bullshit. Stop the scam, stop the scare tactics. Homelessness is perpetuated by the "homeless advocates" because homelessness is their job security ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRGSneYYru8
