Charles,
Okay, It seems to me that what I want is the ability to make my own
living and the maximum degree of personal freedom that is possible.
Having a government to take care of us is a misnomer at least.
Through taxes, military service, etc we the citizenry take care of
governments. We are approaching the singularity. The government isn't
anticipating the singularity. The government, or more precisely the
politicians, are busy buying votes to improve the size of their multi-million
dollar retirement fund, to increase the perks of their offices and to
insulate themselves from being thrown out of office by a challenger. If the
government is socialist or communist they are going after the same goals by
other means.
So what is the solution? Well, what is the opposite of what I have
just described? If you pass a law you only get more control by government
which means more control by politicians. If you decrease the law and the
power of the politician you have more freedom. Unfortunately you need some
minimum government which means that as citizens we have to step up and
exercise our responsibility to monitor our government.
Questions? Comments? Snide remarks? <G>
