Today's RANT: Beware the Utopians, They'll Kill Us All

[427 S/O]

The sad thing, MOST will do nothing until it's in their front yard!, then all he_ _ will break loose. I hope MOST will never let it get that far........

[Fred Douglass]

There's my cabinet! Ar-ar-ar.

Krikeys, just when I was starting to read more politcal thrillahs (like Vince Flynn's stuff)....along comes Bob with more required readin'!!!

I just worry aboot what the three-year-olds and yet-to-be-born Americans will be facing when they're our age........Egads! Mortgaging our future with deficits doesn't seem like the wisest course.

Carrion,

....and one I had all my students read was "ANTHEM" 96 pages of counter-(lefty)- revolutionary wicked-pissah vicarious thrills!!!!

Go Bruins!

[Bobcat]

Here is a direct quote from Atlas Shrugged ..., Ayn Rand ..."Just as man can`t exist without his body , so no rights can exist without the right to translate one`s rights into reality - to think , to work and to keep the results - which means the right of property . The doctrine that " human rights" are superior to property rights simply means that some human beings have the right to make property out of others , since the competent have nothing to gain from the incompetent, it means the right of the incompetent to own their betters and to use them as productive cattle . "
Yes , I`m picking one part , but to me , this sound familiar .... like exactly what`s happening today ???
As she pointed out in her book , the way to bring this to a halt is for the productive to stop being productive . I had a friend of mine who turned down a promotion and a raise because his taxes would have gone up so much , he would actually take home less than before the raise .
Who is John Galt ?? He is a/her symbol of all the productive people who actually make things work and produce .
Freddie ... congratulations on having the students read Anthem .... hopefully , it made some of them think ... which is all too rare today .

Carrion,

I am deeply offended that I did not get a nomination for Sec of Defense in Prez Freddies' cabinet.

Freddie,

At the rate things are going there may not be any world left for our two and three year olds to worry about. Things are so far out of control now all over the world that the tax and spend method just isn't going to work. I fear that we will son become a 3rd world country if some people now in power aren't stopped.

Moikie........OF COURSE you're SEC-DEF!!! You just hadn't signed onto the Rant yet....

Ronnie: you may well be right---certainly hope not. Hawaii actually inspired me to start painting again!!!!!!

Chin up. all!

[Ron61]

Freddie,

It is great to hear that you are painting again. I talk to a woman that now lives in St. Clairsville, Ohio every day and she used to live in Los Angles. She was a professional artist and won a a lot of things with her paintings. She still does some but her hands are getting to where she has a hard time holding the brushes. I have a huge painting of me and two of my Poms that I have lost that she did before she ever saw me and it is really good. I can't draw a straight line with a ruler and really admire anyone who can paint, play music, or any of the other artistic type things.
