1. What a fantastic article regarding Centralized Power and remember

how to pick up the pieces of the aftermath - or even wrest power away from the bureaucracy that has created the centralized power.

I love this from the article:

[...] Even a poor community could count on being able to scrape together the political will and the money to establish a school district, even if that meant a one-room schoolhouse with one teacher taking twenty-odd children a day through grades one through eight. That the level of education that routinely came out of such one-room schoolhouses was measurably better than that provided by today’s multimillion-dollar school budgets is just one more irony in the fire.
