Response: Not Being ‘Evil’ Does Not Mean Being Foolish

enlightened rogue responded to my post Does evil justify evil? with this response: Not Being ‘Evil’ Does Not Mean Being Foolish

And, I agree with him to a point. But I do have a problem with this:

"Treating the symptoms of any problem will not ultimately correct its cause, but it will help lessen suffering from those symptoms and help prevent still further problems.

If treating the symptoms makes one comfortable enough to forget about the cause, the cause will stop being responded to. And this is what I see happen time after time. People only squeal about the symptoms as long as they are uncomfortable, but if you can make them comfortable again, they refuse to think about the cause until they are once again uncomfortable. I want statists to suffer from their poor choices.

 It's a difficult mess, to be sure.

Edited to add: If the symptoms aren't fatal, and the root cause is, treating the symptoms isn't "helping" anyone.

Donation request

If anyone would like to help me afford something my 9 year-old daughter is asking for, a one time donation of $20 to $40 would really help.

It's nothing "important" enough for me to get myself into financial hot-water over, but it's important enough to her (and thus, to me) that I decided to make the request.

I also request that if you are a subscriber or previous donor, you ignore this and let someone new enjoy the endorphin rush this time.

Thanks for your consideration.

Your ridiculous nosy neighbor

The USA is a GladysKravitzOcracy. It's ridiculous and pathetic. Yet, it can still cause problems for you and me when the nosiness gets into our private lives.

Innocent actions will be interpreted to be scandalous. And, even actions which are not completely innocent are still NOT the nosy neighbor's business in most cases.

I am thankful to people like Edward Snowden- including those like him who haven't yet been discovered- for exposing the rude and dangerous nosiness of the bad neighbor.
