Democracy is no
solution - it's just 51% bossing the other 49% around. For God's
sake, Hitler was democratically elected. Democracy is just mob rule
dressed up in a coat and tie. - Doug Casey

You know, I keep sending "unsubscribe USA.gov" messages to
Washington, but I never get a response.
Doug: Good luck. To them, you're cattle. They care only so much as
you and all the others don't stampede. Other than that, you exist
for their benefit and have as much say in the matter as a steer.-

Basic law is "Do as
thou wilt - but be prepared to accept the consequences," you can
extrapolate that out, as a practical matter, to two others. One, do
all you say you're going to do. And two, don't aggress against other
people or their property.- Doug Casey

The tribal way of
organizing a society actually makes more sense than the nation state
does - at least in a tribe you basically know everybody, typically
have a blood or family relation with them, and almost certainly
share values. The nation state is just a piece of geography
controlled by a central government.- Doug Casey

Listen to what Bin
Laden said was upsetting those people so much. We should get our
troops out of their holy land, stop setting up brutal puppet
regimes, and stop supporting Israel. If we did that, and sincerely
apologized for our destructive actions and the criminal actions our
tax dollars have paid for, a lot of those people would cool off and
go back to herding goats, looking for oil, making shish kebabs, or
some other pursuit of happiness.- Doug Casey

4 Rules for Acquiring Knowledge
(1) Accept nothing as true unless
clearly recognized as such;
(2) Solve problems systematically
by analyzing them part by part;
(3) Proceed from the simple (seed)
to the complex; and
(4) Review everything thoroughly
to ensure that nothing is omitted.

Sadly, non-producers outnumber producers and, in a democracy, the war is
often won by the non-producer.
Democracy is like having a vote by five coyotes and a lamb over what to
have for lunch. -Rick Rule

"If
you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in five years
there'd be a shortage of sand." - Milton Friedman |
