anarchy vs the constitution

It seems to me, the current options for governance are:

1. continue the statist slide.
2. collapse the system & start over.
3. return to the constitution & re-implement it

I am advocating #3. Some are advocating #2. Obama & his cronies are advocating #1, which IMO, accomplishes the same as #2, just not as immediately.

The constitution is not that complicated, nor are the overreaches & systematic tramplings of the constitution over the last 100 yrs that mysterious.

Govt exists by power. Those who have the power make the rules. It is my contention that the principles in the declaration of independence provide the most freedom & opportunity for the most people, than any other system in the history of humanity. Some anarchists & libertarians are lumping the american experiment in with monarchies, dictatorships, & socialist authoritarian systems. To them ALL govt is evil. But they have nothing better.. just imagination & fantasy. America works. It can work again. The constitution is MUCH better than anarchy or despotic rule.

I hope to be part of a minority of people who will fight for this concept, for this & future generations. I do NOT want to see america swallowed up by statism, or collapse into anarchy. Either of those will kill it, & the dream of america will be over. The parade of despots will continue, promising pies in the sky for compliance.

Actually, ANYONE who has a dream of what we can be, or should be.. can spell it out. Lay out the framework, with the basis for the ideals.  I'm sticking with the proven (and idealistic) us constitutional ideals. They are not working now, because we are not following them. We are following a socialist, statist framework of governance, where the nanny state rules & micromanages everything we do.

An anarchist framework does not provide the basics, like is spelled out in the us constitution:
1. justice.. law & order
2. home defense. National security.
3. Protecting the basic rights of the people

Anarchy is a 'devolution' into the old system of 'might makes right'.  It is a devolution of law & order, & only leads to despotism.
