Don't be so hard on yourself!
Here is a random statement:
When I was young I thought there were two different words for family - famly were your parents and siblings and whoever lived in your home and family was the word for relatives like grandparents and cousins who didn't live with you.
I appreciate you, Moe, as an example of what humanity is all about. You are always treating others with compassion and consideration. . . and you have some fun, too.
But the right take on my pathetic whine about not being, say, the most agreed-with poster in here, is not something that fits with those nice words of yours. I am actually not being hard on myself, more like poking a barbed fireiron at the smoldering remains of true thought I see in this forum. . . . a few embers occasionally take flight, but there no chance of starting a fire in here. . .
I like Mark Levin because he is breathing fire about a lot of stuff most people are dead to caring about. And he is right. Right as a legal analyst, and right as an American who knows what has been good about this country, and what is worth keeping in this country's value system.
But maybe not right about some international perspectives. I like Lyndon LaRouche, too. . . a dedicated "Roosevelt" old-school democrat in some of his professions, and maybe a socialist in others. . .. but the reason I like Lyndon LaRouche is the same reason I like Mark Levin. I see a passionate caring about people, their rights, their opportunities, and their future as the relevant decision-makers in their own governments.
Russia's Putin, for all his past as a thug/honcho/jackbooted statist, does at least realize that the Brit UN fascist regime needs to be displaced with something else. . . Even China is sorta willing to listen to the LaRouche dialectic about displacing genocidal megalomaniacal "greenies" of the Prince Philip brand. . . . opening up new resources and pushing on in the technology and energy fields to make the world a better place for the humans. . .. for more humans than less. . .
But rather than turn to UN fascist/global corporate regimes hell-bent on cartel/monopoly/restriction on resources, or say the commie brand of statism, I think the real way forward for mankind is to dust off American values and ideas about limited government and expanded opportunities for everyone. . . no special interests but true "equality under the law".
We need to remove statist management of "public" lands, which are currently being restricted except to the highest level of financial interests who can literally buy off the EPA and every other regulatory band of bureaucrat extortionist thugs, and let people own the land. Not just walk on prescribed nature trails, but own the land. People's needs to walk in nature would be one of the hot high-end uses of the land, still, under more efficient and more interested management that would actually try to meet people's needs for ATV space, or for bird-watching woods and marshes. . . Seriously, you really believe a government bureaucracy is the best management we can come up with?
