Death by Association


Where you live matters. If you live in a failing or unstable neighborhood, city or country, you are at risk. It is difficult for citizens to control their governments, but citizen apathy is suicidal. Individuals and families looking to lower their risk by moving to safer neighborhoods need to rely on their own initiative. Those who want to reduce crime in their neighborhoods need to assist law enforcement to remove the drug cartels and criminal gangs.

Citizens must learn from history to avoid making the same mistakes made by the Russians in 1917, the Germans in 1933, the Chinese in 1949, the Cubans in 1959 and the Venezuelans in 1998 and the Americans in 2008.

Legal immigration was the solution for those few who were alert to the danger posed by Lenin, Hitler, Mao, Castro and Chavez, but the vast majority of citizens in these countries remained and suffered.

All of these disasters can be traced back to Karl Marx. Poor countries are vulnerable to allowing Communist and Socialist dictators to take over, but it never ends well. The private property rights of individual citizens must be preserved and restored to guarantee citizen rights.

Avoiding violence and living in domestic tranquility are basic needs like food and water. Ensuring that citizens have these is a basic responsibility of government. Citizens who live in unstable regions are wise to move out of harm’s way or otherwise provide for their own defense.

The citizens of Cheran, Mexico chose to take control of their own town. They expelled the drug cartel and expelled their own government in 2011 and ended crime.

  1. "Citizen apathy" was the great sin of Sodom. Not everyone in the city was a rapist, a homosexual, or even a young man...the problem was that only Lot's family, in the whole city, cared what happened to visitors.
