This is how you get things done - Page 6

If it all burnt down you'd be doing something much different, everything would be different.
No more being a hostage, no more being a victim, no more free ride.

Why do you call the collective benefits of society a "free ride"? You want to be reduced to the activity of sustenance and shelter? That certainly leaves the joys of the internet connectivity as lost, too. I could say that same logic about anything, but the premise is what is wrong to begin with. It is defeatist at its core. You can't imagine how to manage what it has become, so what is there, has to be reduced to its empiracle form.? If you can't handle that, okay, but let us that can, have a go. 

I say that in a nice way, I am just chatty tonight. 

The free ride is the bubble, without it you'll have to get your hands dirty....
Living in the real world without the illusion.



All the great societies eventually failed.
That's the first clue.

That is not a clue that is just the cycle. You seem to think one person survives as an island. Not so. 

Oh well, now I am just tired. Later.

Yes it is a cycle, and as many times as it has played out we have learned nothing.

Man was meant to live on many islands, that's how life survives.

Very good Bee, now your coming around.......lol.
 

Obstructionists - thank God for them. Like the ones who stood against the totalitarianism based on Volkish thought, irrationalism, and Social Darwinism which could have easily taken over the world in the early to mid 20th century. Now, I think some of the Tea Party's platforms are misguided, but I don't buy into the negative connotations applied to any entity who opposes what is assumed or asserted to be the "natural", "rational", or "logical" "progression" of civil government, the ideology which under its skin is an iteration of "process philosophy" and "dialectical materialism".

I am not quite clear where you stand on that! And I just read up on process philosophy until my head hurt! Are you saying there are times to take a stand that forces a direction change? And you don't think Rand Paul is an idiot?

Of course Rand Paul is an idiot, the apple never falls far from the tree.

I'm not sure I would follow Rand Paul out of a paper bag, but he serves a purpose at times and I appreciate his candor. Process philosophy, Hegel's child, is incompatible with Christianity in any form. It's what Marx built upon, served as the foundation for the Fabians, and remains the core philosophy of progressive ideology whether it is vocalized or not. In a nutshell, everything is relative. Thesis and antithesis conflict. The resulting synthesis is absolutized, in that ALL change is progress. Ring a bell? For those of faith, God is thesis, and whatever opposes is antithesis. There then exists absolute truth, absolute right, and absolute wrong, the interpretation of notwithstanding.

Ain't that the truth....lol
