Vote On Everything?
Our myopic society is the result of the so-called social ‘sciences’ virtually pissing in their beakers with every observation. The measured doing the measuring, I don’t think so.
To add to the mess we have mass communication for instantaneous observation reporting…fair and balanced.
By this time everyone with an education or a TV is a social scientist. They can also tell you what your problem is personally thanks to the psychology 101 coarse they took before dropping out of college.
Now these idiots (all of them!) go running to the polls to vote on the society they want to build. Thus, in this Mass stupidity, freedom transubstantiates, changing in one social brush stroke from unalienable rights to popular opinion.
If you are sitting in a big house in the suburbs, this might seem like a bright new way. But if you are sitting in a cell or if you are sitting in a one room flat with a locater bracelet around your ankle or if your character in the view of society is no more than a beaker of warm urine, then it is a bit darker.
Protecting people is the highest calling. Liberty being a personal thing, protecting society is a euphemism for tyranny. Limit your government to the regulation of shared resources before it is too late.
