We have to ask the question: given the decision of so much of our country, of our media, our educational institutions, our politicians, to be willfully ignorant, willfully destructive of our future, is it worth fighting the collapse any more? As I just posted, it has made no difference over the last while–I think the time sample was 20 years–which party was in power, as far as our dealing with entitlement spending.
We are a nation filled with jackasses, who think iPhones just magically come into being without the profit motive, and that they appear in Apple Stores transported by little fairies. That they can be reckless forever with NO CONSEQUENCE.
Benjamin Franklin said something close to “Experience is a dear teacher, but the fool will learn from no other.” Nations of fools have to pay the piper. Maybe the task of the intelligent is simply to see it coming, and make what preparations they can.
And of course tyranny may well be the result. People do not get smarter in panic.
I’ll need to think about this. I will say, though, that I am disgusted with a lot of people right now. I don’t blame Obama. He is a robot following his programming. It is those who are dumb enough to listen to him, who have access to all the information in the world, easily, at the tip of their fingers, instantly, and choose not to use it.
