The first time some pervert insisted on a urine test in exchange for a job offer, he should have been laughed at, and if he laid a hand on the person in his insistence- punched. Now that too many people comply in order to have a job, those who would refuse will end up unemployable (in many cases, in their chosen career).
The first time some coward told someone to leave the gun at home, or with the sheriff, in order to go about your business he should have been ignored. And shot if he tried to take the gun. Now, in many locations, there is almost nowhere you can go off your own property without violating someone's slaughter-enabling zone.
The first time some police department set up a "sobriety checkpoint", the offending officers should have never made it home alive. Now the slightest hesitation to submit is seen as a threat to "officer safety" and can be dealt with in a lethal manner, and your death will be "within departmental policy". Oh, and your murderers will be rewarded and promoted, and your neighbors will think of you as the bad guy.
Normal people have enabled the death of liberty by being too polite and too compliant to unreasonable demands, and now we are ALL paying for it- while still being too compliant, so that our kids will have it worse than we do.
When will enough be enough?

In Colorado, there are two state Senators facing recall elections for pushing draconian gun control measures and brushing off constituants who opposed those measures. I hope those politicians lose by landslides.
ReplyDeleteWhen the government fears the people you have liberty. When the people fear the government you have tyranny. (Thomas Jefferson... and maybe not an exact quote.) We have tyranny in the U.S. now and the people have been conditioned to accept it.
ReplyDeleteAs to guns, people should look up what happen in the Coffeeville, Kansas bank robbery by the Dalton gang in 1898. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalton_Gang#Coffeyville_bank_robbery
"...I hope those politicians lose by landslides..."
ReplyDeleteProbably just as well if those psychopathic nerds "win". You don't need their permission to carry. You don't need to bend over, spread your cheeks and allow them to violate you in the process of "issuing you a permit".
That's what Hawk's essay talks to.
What you need to do is to understand that their "enforcers" (also psychopathic -- or at least sociopathic if they stay "on the force" even after they smell the rancid brew of "justice") should be viewed as one views any other venomous vermin. The enforcers are armed and dangerous, but stupid. Unlike a rattler, which is not stupid, and which does you some good by keeping down rodents, and which will avoid you all possible unless you're dumb enough to "voluntarily" stay within its "jurisdiction".
Note: The rattler, just like the "enforcer", does not care if you own the deed to the property or not. He'll strike if you goad him to strike. Don't goad him.
Abstain from beans. Don't bestow "legitimacy" to the serpent that strikes you.

We have all been indoctrinated to yield to "authority". Stanley Milgram's Experiment

demonstrated that very well. We "know" we are expected to do what we're told and not question the value or legality of it.
Then everyone has been dumbed down and distracted to the point that they don't have a clue how things are supposed to work, they don't know how to think critically, they don't know anything about history......and they really don't care about any of that anyway. (see the videos on the L. Frame on www.markdice.com )
So, "we" are performing predictably & as trained.
And finally, law enforcement which has a natural attraction for bullies anyway, is actually recruiting bullies and weeding out the oath keepers. These people (& most in the military) have no sense of service to the public. They're taught how to hurt, kill, and destroy stuff and that's exactly what they signed up for. Morality, ethics, Constitutionallity: That stuff is outdated. "We've got "a job" to do and we're damn well going to do it."
I can be a bully, get away with it, even get rewarded for it. SIGN ME UP.
You are so right. I talk and write about this all the time. Refuse to pay, refuse to comply -- it's my mantra. If we stopped paying taxes, most of this shit would stop and if we refused to comply, that would clean the rest of it up.
ReplyDeleteThere's only one sure-fire solution to all this mess...I hope to God the balloon goes up...
