The Boy who cried "Politics"

I'm noticing more and more in my every day paradigm breaking that there seems to be a syndrome of people who try to tie in every legitimate concern with illegitimacy to discredit the processes of life and life's information.

I call this the "Boy who cried wolf" syndrome. Lets examine the classic children's fable:

From Wikipedia:

"The Boy Who Cried Wolf, also known as The Shepherd Boy and the Wolf, is a fable attributed to Aesop (210 in Perry's numbering system[1]). The protagonist of the fable is a bored shepherd boy who entertained himself by calling out "Wolf!". Nearby villagers who came to his rescue found that the alarms were false and that they had wasted their time. When the boy was actually confronted by a wolf, the villagers did not believe his cries for help and the wolf ate the flock (and in some versions the boy). The moral is stated at the end of the fable as:

Even when liars tell the truth, they are never believed. The liar will lie once, twice, and then perish when he tells the truth."


They boy cried "Wolf" over and over again, with illegitimate reasons. The townspeople got tired of being alerted for no reason, and let him get eaten alive.

The 10th Amendment
Regardless of what you think of the Civil War and its reasoning, what we're expected by the mainstream to take away from Civil War Studies is that the Southern States were trying to use the 10th Amendment to justify what they felt was a legitimate practice, in violating the rest of the Bill of Rights of certain individuals. The 13th and the 14th Amendment was ratified thanks to STATES RIGHTS to amend the constitution.

Ever since then, 10th Amendment discussion has been based mostly on Abortion Law.

There is now a movement to re-assert 10th Amendment rights of the States. We are not being taken seriously.

"10th Amendment!! 10th Amendment!!"
"aww you're just using that to take other humans' rights"..slaps the boy..goes back to sleep
"10th Amendment!! 10th Amendment!!"
"Abortion? Really"...goes back to bed
2009-
"10th Amendment!! 10th Amendment!!"
"Not again!@ Who Cares? Go to Bed!!"
...........as the states are eaten by wolves.

Impeachment
"Impeach!! Bad President!!"
"He's lying about a blow job. This is what is so important, that you called all of us here?"...goes back to bed
"Impeach!! Bad President!!"
"NO MORE PARTISAN GAMES!! GO TO BED!!"
......the wolves eat the constitution

Who do we blame?
Those who make our processes and information illegitimate?
I say we blame the townspeople.
When it's your duty to watch a child, no matter how many times he gets out of hand and cries wolf, he is still your responsibility.

Reject the notion that any information or constitutional process is no good based on past experience.

Keep an open mind and an open eye trained on your Government.
Or we are ALL Dinner to the wolves.
