Connecticut Killings

This is a tragedy. There are three steps to be taken to deal with the situation:

First Step: Quit looking at the government. The government can take no effective action to prevent such occurrences. Actually it could, but it won’t, and anything it would do would only make things worse.

Second Step: Learn about psychotropic drugs. Here is a good place to start.

This is not about guns. It is about mental illness.

It is about powerful psychotropic drugs that infest the mind and makes it do weird things that can be difficult for the individual to control.

The government will not do anything about the cause of this tragedy as through the FDA the government is complicit to the crime. It will do nothing to the multi-billion dollar drug industry that puts millions of children onto mind altering drugs, ruining their lives, causing many to commit suicide, and in the worst case scenario, perpetrate a crime as has happened in Connecticut.

But the individual gun owner can do something about it.

Third and final step, if you are a gun owner and have anyone in your environment who has been on psychotropic drugs, particularly of the anti-depressant sort, keep them away from your guns.

This includes any children, spouse, visitor, employee, anyone you know that would in their normal activities have access to your guns.

That would be effective. And, unlike an attempted government action, such care would not violate the rights of those acquaintances.

Just about every one of the mass killings is linked to psychotropic drug use, particularly when the individual doesn’t take their “meds.”

This simple but effective measure taken by gun owners would greatly reduce, if not eliminate, mass killings of this sort.

A little voter fraud is OK?

State Senator Wirch of Somers, Wisconsin is quoted in the Journal Times November 25, 2012 as saying, "If they (Republicans) can in fact show me widespread voter fraud then I would be willing to take another look at (voter ID)."

That is an amazing statement.  Does he mean that a little voter fraud is OK?

I rarely hear of a tire slashing incident; certainly less often that reports of voter fraud.  Does that mean that tire slashing should be OK?

Feds target small plane safety

"Feds targets small plane safety" the Journal Times headline reads November 25, 2012.

This virtually guarantees that small plane casualties will increase in the future.

Obama wins

With the election of Barack Obama the United States has chosen a path well traveled by. Typically a country that has adopted nanny state policies like we have, such as social security, Medicare and Medicare … that country proceeds even deeper into socialism. No people of any country has ever turned it around at this point.

I thought maybe we would with the election of Mitt Romney. I thought maybe we would be the first in the history of the world to accomplish such a reversal. We are, after all, Americans. We are different.

Thus far that is not the case.

The mechanics of turning this country around is relatively simple. Deregulating, balancing the budget, reducing taxes, bringing back jobs and prosperity can be done almost instantaneously. What stops us from doing it?

Dependency.

It is not the mechanics that make reform difficult. It is the weakening of the individual by becoming dependent upon the government that makes the job nearly impossible. That is the barrier to reform: dependency.

Why the Libertarian Party?

It is theoretically possible to win our freedom in the Republican Party, but it is very highly unlikely; it's not going to happen that way.

The money of the Republican Establishment combined with the ideology of Conservatism makes such a win much more difficult than getting to our goal, and enlightening others to our ideology, through our own libertarian organization.

Man is basically good.

Man is basically good. That is why libertarianism works.

If man is just an animal, then the fascists (conservatives) and socialists (progressives) are right and we need lots of rules and regulations, adopted collectively, that monitor our lives, as no individual can be trusted to govern himself or herself without such forced guidance.

The Fight for Freedom

The fight for Freedom is a fight that can always be won. But it is never won permanently.

The way one loses one’s freedom is to not fight the next fight.

Courage and Freedom

Freedom and courage go hand in hand. They are inseparable team mates.
Courage comes first. The greater the courage, the more freedom will be available. As courage is lost, so is freedom.
A society of cowards lives only as slaves.

Civilizations start in libertarianism.

Civilizations start in libertarianism. Then they invariably take that death step onto the path that leads to a fascist state: they establish a legislature of some sort.

Collective rights

The term "collective rights" is actually an oxymoron. There is no such thing as a collective right.

The concept of collective rights comes from the practice of "might makes right." Which is a barbarism.

Rights evolve from truth and reason. Rights are respected in civilized environments. Collective rights crowd out individual rights as a civilization degenerates into fascism, and then eventually into a socialism.
