- George Washington 'gave' us a Republic, not a Democracy.
- He was a brilliant leader among a goup of uncommonly insightful political founders of our nation, who were admittedly a 'spirited' bunch.
- Hiroshima was a devastating but strategic military action which cost thousands of civilian lives, but likely saved many more than that.
- Paddled you and encouraged your parents to finish the job if you hurt someone or stole something.
- Laughed but gave you a detention anyway if you pulled a 'prank' of some sort.
- Allowed me to keep a 'high capacity' lever action rifle in the school safe for the afternoon, asking only 'why don't you just put it in your locker?'
- George Washington's main attribute was he may have had a venereal disease.
- Our nation's founders set up a 'democracy' and didn't have much insight as to the nature of man and society, so we have to re-write the Constitution.
- Hiroshima was a "genocide" and similar therefore to Hitler's holocaust, if indeed the latter really happened.
- Provides 'counselling' if you hurt someone or steal things.
- Calls the POLICE if you pull a prank, or on your parents if they spank you for hurting someone or stealing.
- If you have a table knife in your lunch box, or accidentally leave a pocket knife in your car's glove box, calls the POLICE.
I am curious, because that same time frame has seen medical care go from personal to assembly-line, office visits from $12 to $150, drug prices go from $25 a month for the newest, to $250 for 'ordinary' ones, and it has been all due to the government 'fixing' things.
What else have they been 'fixing'?
'Crime' I suppose comes to mind (another really good job, huh?)
We need to get a handle on this in all the OTHER facets of our lives! The more we understand the evolution of this kind of idiocy, the likelier we can slow it or turn it around.
The longer it goes on, the fewer people who are around even remember what it was LIKE before the government 'fixed' everything, so everyone just assumes that if something is messed up, the government needs to 'fix' it some more.
Scary, huh?
