why the constitution is better than marx

"In 1787, the Constitution proclaimed a political philosophy that has led to greater well-being and happiness for more people over more centuries than anything Europe's totalitarians ever did. But precisely because the Constitution limits the greed of the power-hungry, it is always under assault. Every generation needs to understand that because human nature has not changed since 1800. Napoleon Bonaparte and Adolf Hitler are alive somewhere today, because greed for absolute power is part of human nature. Look at the absolute dictators around the world; they are no different. If we are not the brainwashed followers of a Napoleon or Hitler, it is only because our minds have not been dominated by some totalitarian ideology. That is what at stake today, just as it is in every generation."

UK winter may be coldest in 1000 years

some monday night thoughts...

-everything should be legalized. gambling, drugs, prostitution, everything. prohibition does not work, clearly.

-it is not government's role to tell us what we can and cannot do with our own lives/bodies. the bad ass america in 1776 was founded largely on individual rights/freedom. oh how far we've come..

-the only thing that should be regulated by government is the use of force i.e. killings, rapes, assaults, thefts.

-the notion that something is "illegal" has not and will not stop someone from getting what they want if they really want it. (example: guns, drugs, sex)

-prohibition of drugs has created criminals out of human beings who are no harm to anyone else except themselves. they are locked up, their lives fucked, and then subsidized by (completely unrelated) taxpayer money. our govt at work

-we baby the real criminals (murderers, rapists, molesters) way too much

-governments cannot create wealth; they can only confiscate it

-figure it out.

you should definitely watch this video of milton friedman (libertarian legend, nobel prize winner in economics) talk about drug legalization:

governing by regulation= obama

"Sitting presidents whose agendas are soundly rejected by voters in midterm congressional elections have two options: They can either accommodate the new political reality, as President Clinton did after 1994; or they can use bureaucratic edicts to advance their unpopular programs, as President Obama is clearly doing now."

more regulation= terrible idea

supersized government?

"Modern democracies have created a new morality. Government benefits, once conferred, cannot be revoked. People expect them and consider them property rights. Just as government cannot randomly confiscate property, it cannot withdraw benefits without violating a moral code. The old-fashioned idea that government policies should serve the "national interest" has given way to inertia and squatters' rights."
