The Last Tyranny Of Man

Let’s get rid of the hypocrisy in our foreign policy. We are all but attacking nations that attempt to develop nuclear weapons, yet we possess them in abundance.

Insistence from the USA to not develop these weapons is at best hypocritical and at most dictatorial. Let us unilaterally disarm all our nuclear weapons by way of leading the world instead of pushing it.

Even in the event of an all out nuclear strike, I cannot imagine destroying the rest of humanity as a spiteful dieing act. Our conventional military capability is threatening enough. Doomsday scenarios are necessary only in a world gone MAD. If we are MAD, then all the more reason to be nuke free.

The steady stream of outrages emanating from our invasive government leads me to wonder what limitations, if any, my fellow citizens would place on our government. Currently government dictates include personal relationships, brain chemistry, medical care, roads, airway, waterways, life and death. Three of these are clear and obvious mandates; the others are even more clearly not something our founding fathers considered within the government purview.

Yet Americans of today think nothing of dictating highly personal and private matters with laws, guns and punishment. These tyrants see no difference between voting for their political representatives and voting for personal freedoms. The superstitious mind is a tortured thing, but believing that a majority vote always indicates the correct action, defies reason. Surely they don’t think that we can vote on everything. There must be some unalienable rights beyond the reach of these idiots and their congressional representatives.

Short answer; there are. Personal liberties of all manner and scope are sacrosanct in this country because of some very clear wording and some very simple ideas. Unalienable means you cannot vote on it. Self evident means that you don’t have to argue or fight for it. Endowed by your creator means that, short of a retraction directly from God, it is safe in this country. ‘Bestow the blessings of’ does not mean take away.

How can the judiciary stand idly by, while human freedom is laid waist by clearly illegal behavior from a government operating in direct opposition to its’ founding documents. Only the Supreme Court can restore the equilibrium envisaged by our founding fathers. Its’ failure to steer political forces clear of human freedom has put this country far off mark. At this point America can no longer be considered a free nation.

A communist government opening up a stock market and encouraging workers to invest in their country seems like such a strange concept. Yet it is no more strange than a free nation dictating what one can do with their bodies with regards to their life and their death and their health and their happiness.

This stark discrepancy boggles my mind. How can we call ourselves free while voting on freedom itself? Have we the people forgotten what freedom is? Does democracy give us the right to vote against freedom? Have Americans confused freedom with a free ride?

Fear of the future does not give us the right to seek another in this country. Freedom is not a choice for us. It is the law of the land. We must see it through. If it fails, so be it. But don’t give it up until then. It’s the highest ideal yet in human social evolution. Have faith in that.

Man kind will flourish in a totally free society. How many spouses of what sexual polarity is clearly a personal matter. What medicine you take is not a public debate in a free society. Presuming harm from behavior like any presumption should have no place in a court of law, even if the legislature insist. Those who would separate man from his behavior reduce him. Those allowing this conduct deserve what they get.

What can drugs really make you do? Anything is the drug warriors’ knee jerk response. A more thoughtful person might ask what drug or how much or a hundred other relevant questions. A skeptic might argue that drugs alone have never been proven to produce human behavior. An aspirin might stop a headache so that one attends a party. Did the aspirin make you go to the party?

We’ve all seen the lab experiment with the rat opting for cocaine to death with a ready alternative of healthy food available all along. The fact that rodents are ubiquitous puts a lie to this myth at least in part. Yet we as a society legislate and conduct ourselves as though every citizen was just as powerless as that poor rat seems to be.

For those who see the human spirit as subservient to the power of drugs the world is a very scary place. This much fear can drive some very flawed thinking and strange behavior. The drug war is riddled with just such thinking and behavior for just this reason. They conduct themselves as though drugs were “Body Snatchers”. That’s one of the scariest movies yet. It was not until later that I saw the similarities to prohibition.

Everyone I know believes it is illicit drug dollars driving the behavior. This may be so with legislators, judges and police but it fails to explain the vast public support for the drug war. The average person supports the drug war but does not benefit from it in any way. Fear is all that can explain this many people being stupid for this long.

The history of prohibition is littered with egregious lying on a biblical scale. Over the years it has produced a state of petrified fear and stupidity that is impervious to facts. This state of mind is not unlike religious zeal. Through almost hallucinogenic logic large portions of this population see drugs animate and somehow effect ingestion on their own. And we the people are powerless to stop this thing that has come alive in our fear-riddled minds.

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.
