Therein is the rub, if you are going to run a business today the way to go is incorporating, at least you have some protection, aside from that of the biggest reasons small business has a hard time succeeding is they not only take full responsibility but fail to get good advice or surround themselves with people who know more then they do, no man is an island.
Part of the beauty of freedom is that we have the freedom to lose. We have the freedom to take risks, and we are free to win and we are free to lose. The beauty lies in the understanding that victory and defeat are equal on this level, and all that really matters is that the game was played and played with conviction and fun. That is the fundamentals of freedom
Unfortuantely the normal human is so dumbed down and over-burdened with made up, fake social expectations, that this seems but a hazy, drug induced fantasy for the necessary force to awaken.

When you put it that way how can I disagree, you are right risk is risk and in many case well worth it. Thanks for your reply my friend, you always put things into perspective.
Continuity of Government Commission
The Continuity of Government Commission is a think tank set up in 2002 to recommend improvements on the constitutional and statutory provisions for the continuity of government in the United States. It was set up by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) and the Brookings Institution following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Former presidents Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford served as its honorary co-chairmen.
'Shadow Government' News To Congress
(CBS) Key congressional leaders say they didn’t know President Bush had established a “shadow government,” moving dozens of senior civilian managers to secret underground locations outside Washington to ensure that the federal government could survive a devastating terrorist attack on the nation's capital, The Washington Post says in its Saturday editions. Senate Majority Leader Thomas A. Daschle (D-S.D.) told the Post he had not been informed by the White House about the role, location or even the existence of the shadow government that the administration began to deploy the morning of the Sept. 11 hijackings.

Excellent post Jackflap and research, what say you naysayers about reading about the Shadow Government by main stream news, CBS no less, now if they are printing this there has to much more to it, as you know if we get any news it is usually the tip of the olé iceberg, most people don't look beyond or do the research.
I have heard much about this over the years but it always seemed to be in the conspiracy realm.
Most of us would be hard pressed to survive if they were to suddenly shut down the communication, distribution systems, power grids, retail outlets, transportation systems and banks that they own.

We can all sit around and wish for Ron Paul to become President, or Jesus to come back and spank the world, or we can just do our own part in bringing about the best possible world we can imagine. You know what? It is possible that if we do all just do what needs to be done to usher in necessary and positive change, that along the way Ron Paul will get elected President and Jesus will come back to spank the world, but the beauty of us doing what we must is that even if Dr. Paul never gets elected President and Jesus spanking time is for another generation, at least we are doing what we must.

But what does this mean? Do we need a new "royal" family of the righteous wise to herd the sheep to greener pastures?
