Yes, I've been absent.
The reason is that I wanted to get my bearings regarding all this political mumbo jumbo going on out there.
This drove me nuts, so from now on, consider this blog as being posted by an insane person.
Here's my conclusions since my last post.
1) What do we need leaders for? Especially leaders of countries or states. Who told us we need them and why do we accept this concept? If you think about this "leadership" concept long enough, it sounds as ridiculous as the concept of "racism". Someone invented these terms to divide and control.
Now think about it. At the end of the day, who controls or influences your day to day activities? It's not your federal government, it's not even your state government. It is the people in your neighborhood, like family members and neighbors. Beyond that, we have no idea who the designated "leaders" are. For all we know, they could be liars, cheats, or honest-to-goodness good people. There's no telling.
All I know about our Federal Government is the threats I get if I don't pay my taxes, or if I fail to abide by some tens of thousands of laws. These people, who I never met, who I don't know, will come to my house and throw me into some prison if I don't do what they say. Sounds ridiculous from the start.
Here's my take. If we mess up in our small world of family and neighbors, we'll get chastised immediately and learn how to deal with the situation. Think of it like a smack in the head from your father for goofing up. You'll learn immediately what you need to do to survive your local conditions. If someone dumps a bunch of poison into your water supply, you've got a problem. So, what does man do, anyway? They take their guns and shoot the guilty, move to another place that's clean and start all over. (Seems like, eventually, humanity will learn to not mess up, else face guaranteed consequences.) Small wars are better than big wars. Fewer people suffer and die that way. (Insane comment for sure.)
2) I stated this before. The term "racism" is absolutely STUPID! Why do we even pay attention to this concept. We are all God's children, never had a say as to what we look like, or what color our skin is, yet, there's people who think these traits are worthy of note. Come on now!
3) Taxes. UGH!!!! Why should we toil and sweat just so someone else can take away the fruits of our labors? Who has a right to MY stuff? I figure, if I made it, it's mine.
4) "Tax the rich." Now how stupid is this? VERY STUPID. Rich people get rich because they steal from you by force, or they supply something that you want or need. Folks, money will ALWAYS run uphill. Tax payments will always roll down hill. In other words, THE RICH NEVER PAY TAXES. They just add any taxes they have to pay to the price of what you buy from them. Prices would be much lower if we could eliminate the wages of tax accountants, tax lawyers, lobbyists, and wasted time expenses that are added to the price of what we buy. Market forces, like competition, would determine the price we pay at the end. It's that way, anyways.
5) I look at the office of the president. He's got to be in charge of the military, has to be in charge of diplomacy, civil rights, budgets, EVERYTHING!.. How can one person be an expert in EVERYTHING? That's CRAZY!
