Moving towards Anarchy, better for the society?

Recently my thoughts are, what if we continue to function as a society as is, and slowly take away governance from our civic life. What would happen? Think deeply and thoroughly before deciding to eliminate governmental bodies and organization which might not be impacting our day to day lives.

In reality, do we need elected officials? Is democracy a thing of the past? Can't we live a good live with the essential bueraracy?
Saves us a ton of money! And saves us from all the foolishness goes on the front pages of newspapers would be replaced with substantiative material which would be useful for people. It could even lead up to molding a better society.

Let the Freedom Ring - July 4th

We are approaching the day of celebrating the freedom of our country.
I would like to bring to the attention millions of people being incarcerated in America, for petty things and held back in prisons with long sentences.
I think we need to take this time to unwind ourselves out of this incarceration industry, and turn our empty prison cells into classrooms or vocational training centers so that one can

Movie The Rat Race
I have watched the movie last night about the rat catchers of Mumbai, brought it by a new group in Austin, Inde Meme. This is my thoughts about this movie.
This movie showcases the filth and squalor of India. And the pain of youth in India who seem to have no future. In one way, if you look at the plan of the city to hire men to kill 30 rats a day for a month, and get paid Rs. 10,000 is a lot of money for the work. It might not take too long to kill 30 rats I presume, since they are plenty running around. That would kind of make it 111 rupees per rat kids, a great deal of money, if you ask me. No wonder there are two thousand people applying for thirty positions.
A land where rat is the vehicle of Lord Ganesha and revered, the rats being mercilessly killed by hitting them on their head is the contrast of the spirrt of the city. This should not have been acceptable to the people in that city.  People seem to have no sensitivity or sanctity towards life itself. Rats are living beings too, if they cause problem, it should be controlled through humane means. Like catching rats and sterilizing them and tracking them. Instead of killing 30 of them, if they sterilize 300 of them every night, that would have reduced the population of rats. Or most importantly, spending that 10,000 rupees, or 300,000 rupees a month on proper garbage disposal. That alone would have reduced the number of rats to a minimum. When there is no food to eat, the population reduces. Before ever any attempt to control the rats extensive planning need to be undertaken about controlling rats. The citizens of the city need be involved asking their ideas about rat control, and directly participating them in the process. The rat population control need to be attacked from all fronts, cleanliness to begin with.
