What do you mean when you say our society is bifurcated?

Thoreau said there were the "tax-payers" and the "tax-eaters." We note that a lot of the public and publicly-sanctioned processes are corrupted by money and power. A lot of these processes or services are just not working very well for people at all. But there are a lot of people who are choosing a different path, a "road less travelled."

Bifurcated just means "forked into two" and we're noticing that many people are choosing another path than the publicly-sanctioned ways. Some think they have "given up" and are "doing nothing" for their freedom, but we think rather that they are "doing everything" for their freedom by choosing an alternative to corrupted practices.

We didn't say it will be easier to forge your own way, but can you imagine the rewards to the home-schooler parents who have struggled and sacrificed to educate their kids, while still having to pay for the public school system that they are not using, when their kid wins the spelling bee or scores a 1600 on his SAT exam?
