Hello RimCountry,

Yes, ignorance and apathy are co-conspirators.
Carpe diem!
O.A.

Ignorant masses, yes... and those who choose to do nothing about it.

We have a choice... like the author, we can sit around defining and re-defining the problem.

Or, like tens of thousands of American citizens across the nation who are fed up, we can actually do something about it.

"I found the article somewhat disjointed..."

I agree. It was less an article or an essay than it was a series of quotations or sound bites. You can take any one of the paragraphs and imagine reading it in a collection of "101 Best Quotes about X."

That said, most of the sound bites were accurate.

I occasionally like a little trip down memory lane....no, not THAT branch of it......

Don't go down memory lane with my dangerous leaping lizards around dino mind.
I better like this version of a heroic horse of a different color--

isn't there a song like that?

Thanks, I will check into producer.

That link has some scary stuff in it.

I still would like to see you become a producer with a $ next to your name.

Thank you, it took me over 100.

good way of putting it. we have a democracy now ruled by the mobama

Bravo! Well said. Too bad the media and politicos will talk over and drown out anyone who speaks sense like this. It is also true that the ignorant masses that wanted to place their trust in government have done this to us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yw1Tgj9...

Yep!

I gave you a +1, so you are closer to 100. You can vote immediately by becoming a producer. Paying the $40 per year is a small price for what you get out of this. Does the $40 per year go by the calendar year, or by when you joined Galt's Gulch?

It is the era of the internet brain: Since none of us could recall it, I looked it up. There is a book by that name by Silvergate. There is also now a website dedicated to this cause: http://www.threefeloniesaday.com/Youtoo/...

We face a morass of laws, most of them so silly that the only excuse for their existence is to make it impossible to perform any action without breaking a few of them. As a result, business and industries are stultified because there is no legal upside. to going into business or manufacturing, only the risk of becoming a criminal in order to survive.

Thanks for the correction. Wish I could remember the source. What the hell, I'm getting old. Guess I should be glad I remembered what I did.

I really want to up-vote this comment but Gulch score is still too low

Yes, I have seen this firsthand with a family member who belongs to a cult. When you question the cult doctrine with logic and reason you invoke the persecution complex. They will go off on you like a complete lunatic. It is because the brain is in conflict with itself. Those in power know you do not need to kill someone to take away their life. It happens every day. "You don't like Obama because he's black!".. yeah like I haven't heard that a million times. Apply logic and reason and you get a "You're a teabagging capitalist pig murderer..insert more insults here.."

I agree. My conservative email (it grows as folks find out about as do some hucksters) and the Gulch is where I find "articles like this."
The article of this post appeared in my email yesterday. I almost posted it here but had a hunch someone else would scoop it up. I decided to sit on it and see.
Well, along came rocky . . .

Democracy = rule of the mob

Republic = rule of law

Which do you believe we have now?

I think democracy is a bad system, in that it turns over government to the groups that have the numbers, not the brains.

I believe you are correct on that Jan. I don't have the source either.
