Guns to overthrow our government? My turn to laugh in someone's face. You pull a gun on any government official and you've signed your own death warrant. If someone does work up the (psychotic) balls to try a violent government strike it ends up being a terror act like Oklahoma. And those guys got executed. Yea, I totally see me storming any government building with guns blazing.
A friend of mine was just telling me last week that people were trying to reform home birth legislation in Georgia, until the ACOG lobbied to stop it.
I feel extremely hopeless about our government. I hate my sheriff, he's a bumbling idiot IMO who has employed several other royal idiots. I've tried to get justice for a few things, to no avail. There's no way to vote him out. He's been incumbent so long nobody even bothers to run against him anymore.
On a bigger level, it's been pure hell trying to get child support enforced against my ex husband. I request a review and modification because he wasn't paying enough, 6 years had passed and he got a much better job. It took 6 months for them to finish the paper work, in that amount of time my ex moved to a different county. Child support had to transfer my file to another district. It got lost for 2 months. In those 2 months the original paperwork expired and I had to start all over again. More months pass and they make another decision. Ex moves a few more times and the sheriff's office can never find him to get him served. Ex moves to Virginia. So here we are nearly 2 years since I started this nightmare. Finally my ex agreed to an amount that he and I came up with together, so he didn't end up having to get served. It took 2 more months after we agreed for child support to get the paperwork filed in October, and I just got the papers in the mail 2 weeks ago.
In that time I called every phone number I had for them, I visited several of their offices. I called and spoke with the representatives for Governor Purdue and was referred to another state department. NOTHING ever came of it. Child support division did not care that we were falling further and further behind in our bills because they were not making my ex pay for his children.
On the other hand, last year I read about a man in Atlanta who is stuck paying off $10,000 in child support for a kid that isn't even his, as proven by a DNA paternity test.
There's a saying here, "you can't fight city hall." So we have the power to vote out someone that pisses us off. All politicians are the same. They will serve themselves as long as they can and big deal if they get voted out because their benefits are for life.
What do you suggest we do to make the government listen to us? Besides shoot them? I have kids, I don't have time to be dead or imprisoned for life.
