quote: ORIGINAL: cpK69 quote: ORIGINAL: rulemylife No police, no fire department, no military, no laws, no regulation, just everyone on their own to fight everything out among themselves. It seems odd to me that ‘the people’ so often discount themselves in the existence of humanity. What does government have, which does not exist amongst the people? Truth? Authority? Kim As rule says, a mandate to provide the basic social infrastructure their society needs to run which private interests tend not to be interested in supplying. That of course, is in theory, as in practice many governments see their role in quite different terms.

end result of being born, or end result of crumbling?

And just how in hell do you see this as repeating itself? One would expect better from a "history buff" and a "(major)" Your analogy screams right wing militia type.....not a former Major in any branch of the service.

quote: ORIGINAL: mnottertail end result of being born, or end result of crumbling? If you're referring to the collapse of the Soviet Union, that speaks for itself. However, The U.S. is slowly falling under the complete rule of the fed.gov. and we the pwoplw are seemingly powerless to stop it. Healthcare reform is just the latest sector of the public to be taken over. We've seen welfare, taxation, miltary incursion, NAFTA, the transportation industry, the banking system, the judicial system, employment, and now the health care systems falling one by one under gov. control. It's obvious that the methods used to accomplish this are vastly different, but the same result is happening and the majority of the people don't see it for what it is..

As someone been reading too many right wing pamphlets?

under, I will predict with some accuracy if you do obtain the baccalaureate in history, you will not be giving lectures at university or gradeschools. transportation, taxation, social stricture and many more things were under the hand of such luminaries as Caesar, Alexander, Attilla, Constantine, Ghengis Khan, The Yellow Emperor, Gladstone, Isabella, Phillip, and the list is endless...... Your seeing only this as somehow equivalent to Russia after WWI only lacks Russians, ArchDuke Ferdinand, a Tsar, spiked helmets, Rural Electrification, the spanish flu (nah, I will give you H1N1), Marshall Petain and just about everything else to be plausible. Ron

You don't see any locus between WWI, Marshall Petain, Healthcare Reform and what Thomas Jefferson said? It's right there on the end of your nose, mike!!!!!!!!! Ron

slvemike4u -> RE: Thomas Jefferson said THIS would happen (12/1/2009 10:01:12 AM)
Well I'll check the end of my nose and get back to you Ron...but off the top of my head the connection seems as tenuous as under's analogy with post WW1 Russia. As usual you continue to be ammusing.....if just a little starnge [:D]

Okay,just to be clear that was a typing error....not a spelling error ...as proof I would ask you to go back and check,all the right letters are there...just in a screwed up order lol.[8\|]

I love discussing and considering different perspectives on history and etc. However, when others choose to resort to character attacks rather than intelligently discussing the issues at hand, my interest soon fades . For clarity's sake, I am NOT an ex major in the military, I was a grunt. I am a history major, as well as a history buff. lol. Now, my reason for introducing this topic was/is not to ridicule or belittle anyone for any reason, but merely to open a discussion about what's going on right under our collective noses. The emperor does NOT have any clothes on, yet if anyone chooses to imagine he does, go for it- my discussion does not apply to them. Far too many of my friends and acquaintances are now in exactly the same situation Jefferson described long ago- that being they are now homeless in the land their forefathers conquered. If this present course continues, we will all end up in the same boat.

quote: ORIGINAL: rulemylife Why was government established in the first place? You’re asking me to speculate; probably not a good idea for me to do so, at least, not on this topic. Isn’t it sufficient to see what it is now is not in line with the goal ‘we’ claim? quote: What would you suggest as an alternative to police, fire departments, and other government services? That we each take those functions upon ourselves individually? Is it not, ultimately, ‘the people’ who operate and perform the duties of police and fire departments, and other “government services”? The alternative to government would involve a lot more (plainly written) fact, a lot less opinion, and yes, more involvement by the individual. What does JFK’s statement “ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country”, mean to you? Kim

If this present course continues, we will all end up in the same boat. This is hardly new (and the thread on the 'Working Day' deals with many of the same issues). Are you familiar with Shay's Rebellion? It's foreclosure, Articles of Confederation style. Mostly subsistence farmers and ex-military getting screwed over by Boston bankers, amid massive speculation.
