Something to Think About
This is something that can happen to you.The following couldn't happen to a congressman or United States Senator. Most people are unaware of it, but for decades politicians have exempted current and future members from most of the laws they pass. Asset forfeiture, for one.If cops nail a senator peddling cocaine out of his Mercedes by a schoolyard, his car can't be seized but your car and even your house can be seized.As you read this do you feel under hypnosis?If you try to get a politician prosecutedfor drug dealing and a conviction but you couldn't seize his assets the way your car or house would be seized.His fellow politicians might just censor him or expel him from congress and, at the same time, arrange his immunity from prosecution.But you couldn't seize his assets for drug dealing or any other of the two hundred offenses for which they can seize yours.Politicians have their own retirement fund They pay no social security taxes.They rob social security to finance other programs.Their pensions are safe.Recent events have brought to light a deep distrust of congress by the American people.
They exempt themselves from health care plans they intend to force upon you, so that some day you'll have to wait months for things like gall bladder surgery, but they get the care they need on demand.Somehow, we've allowed ourselves to be ruled by the greediest and most envious among us.

I will only note that I've received nothing but admonishment from those who've done nothing but repeat the sort of drivel I've read countless times before.
So call me a prick if you must and I'll take the epithet with pride -- because I'm "a prick with a purpose." What purpose can you ascribe to my detractors?
This is INSANE to declare an OBJECT (like money) to be "criminal" and abscond with it!
But the IRS and the Feds are still able to do it.
And it is NEVER used to go after the GIANT Drug Dealers (like the CIA), just the average people who have cash on them, etc.
Days [Be] Numbers (The Traveller)
The Alan Parsons Project
Chris Rainbow - Lead Vocals
The traveler is always leaving town
He never has the time to turn around
And if the road he's taken isn't leading anywhere
He seems to be completely unaware
The traveler is always leaving home
The only kind of life he's ever known
When every moment seems to be
A race against the time
There's always one more mountain left to climb
Days are numbers
Watch the stars
We can only see so far
Someday, you'll know where you are
Remember
Days are numbers
Count the stars
We can only go so far
One day, you'll know where you are
The traveler awaits the morning tide
He doesn't know what's on the other side
But something deep inside of him
Keeps telling him to go
He hasn't found a reason to say no
The traveler is only passing through
He cannot understand your point of view
Abandoning {unreality, sure} of what he'll find
The traveler in [you] is close behind
Days are numbers
Watch the stars
We can only see so far
Someday, you'll know where you are
Remember
Days are numbers
Count the stars
We can only go so far
One day, you'll know where you are

When I find myself in a bowl of subjective or word-twisting, ankle-biting pedantic spaghetti prepared by those unable to grasp what it means to think IN principle (not merely in a "relational" or "compartmentalized" way, but to see the poetry and principles of Galt in the reality of their lives, their motives, their thought processes, to listen to Scott Brick not Christopher (oh) Hurt (me!) and that insipid, hallmark pastiche of the Atlas Shrugged movies. Yech. --Then I must quickly cut myself free and move on! (i.e., It's ok, I'm gonna delete all this "slanderous" "libel" of others' slanderous and libelous behavior toward the Ayn Rand they think they're holding hostage to their hippielove). In a word, I'm arrogant but I'm not allowed to pronounce moral judgement (apparently, as I've been told, there's no room for ad hominem in the Gulch (now who are the Thought Police?)

Just a bit early.
(1948 -- 1984) should have been 2030..
Set it on fire in the backyard of their house and turn the entire neighborhood on.

I was wondering what caused you to arouse such ire in the hearts of my friends.Post hoc, ergo propter hoc.
