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.

"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.
