Politics Oy!

Today is "election day" in the US. I've already voted today. I have a certain angst that develops over the... status quo always dressed in new clothes by smiling public (read "my") money spenders... offered as a "choice". I'm reminded of a couple of cogent quotes:

"Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself.  There was never a democracy that did not commit suicide."
John Adams, Letter, April 15, 1814

and

"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion.  Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net.  Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people.  It is wholly inadequate for any other."
John Adams

The real truism is that you can't really improve the society unless you actually improve the the individuals and they don't improve unless educated in actual true data inspired by true leaders.

In my opinion, today they're pushing "democracy" (suicide) and a police state. Any person who knows their History should be busy restoring the right thing: A Democratic Republic with Human Rights. You are welcome to join me in this viewpoint, here's how:
  1. Learn "real" History (ferret it out for yourself, use original sources, not what you were taught in school).

  2. Know your actual Human Rights (as guaranteed, in blood, by our ancestors).

  3. Speak out on what you find out.

  4. Know that things are never as bad as they seem to be, they are only made that way by those who would profit by it.

  5. Do something politically effective. Try here: Downsize DC Org
