This is a perfect example of the fallacy of democracy. In the early days of the foundation of this country they shunned democracies as a failed attempt. They equated democracy with mob rule. That's not to say that it won't work on a local scale in a small community. However it does not work on a large scale. Too many idiots screaming "I want it my way" when none of them understands what the Consitution is supposed to mean. The "interpreters" of the founding documents are, in reality, nothing but spin doctors with a bit of a different venue.
The Constitution was meant to limit the power of government over the People. However regulating and taxing corporations is not so limited. In the case of banksters and large corporations, it would be perfectly lawful for the government to step in, for the common good and defense. What happened is that they failed to recognize the enemy and act in our best interest, instead befriending these enemies to freedom and furthering their goals.
So now we have this partnership between government, big business and the media which most people refuse to recognize for the conspiracy it really is. This is not a theory folks, it is fact and the evidence is right there, all over the place. I am not talking about some ETs really running the place, HAARP or the chips, nor the secret arsenal. I am talking about clear facts that are in front of your face almost every day.
The problem is that we have all been born into this scenario and have lived all of out lives in it. People don't see social security for the Ponzi scheme it is, nor the similarities in the very monetary system itself. Such plans always end eventually, and all of the sudden now people are realizing the folly of these schemes because we are living in the end times of the scheme. There are simply not enough suckers WITH MONEY to go around. Failure is imminent and the scheme can only be propped up for a short time. These are the times in which we live, and have for some time now.
The hardest thing for people to accept is that our own ancestors sold us out to secure their own future and possibly their offspring at the time, ignorant to what was going to happen to future generations. But every coin has two sides. On the other side of this one, if there had been very little or no credit, real money instead of fiat currency, no stock market, and no a few other things, this forum would likely not exist, as the computer you now read and communicate with.
Without this mess things would be different. Who wants to go back ? It was normal to drive the same car for a long time as one saved up the money for a new one. Buying a farm would either mean saving up for some time or a land contract. During that time you could be a sharecropper, a renter or a squatter.
One of my best lawyers of all time told me straight out "The system does not work without money". It was a different context but I think it prevails on this issue. The only way to keep what we have is to bring industry back, or create new industry. That's a catch 22. We will never compete with the current lobbying money (which is a bribe plain and simple) to get real change.
So in reality what we need is representatives with their priorities straight. We can't outlaw lobbying, but nobody says they have to take the money. Well yes they do but that could be fixed with the right people. Where are they ? Where did all those signatures come from to ban Gay marriage in the first place ? From people who do not understand the concept of why this country was formed in the first place. But further, how did so many people vote for it ? That indicates that most people do not understand.
I am starting to think that government does indeed represent the People, it's just like a lawyer defending the guilty. They know their client is guilty but their job is to represent them anyway. They don't want freedom, they don't want a republic. Each person wants to be a dictator, and when those of like mind get together it results in a "critical mass" of sorts. That is the main folly of democracy. Issue upon issue keeps many from focussing on the real problems. Gay marriage doesn't mean shit, because soon nobody will be able to afford a marriage license.
As much as I am against the Pledge Of Allegiance for many reasons, the words "and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands. I am not fond of the words "under God". but oh well, if I am to use influence to remove those words, I am as guilty as those neandrethal religious types who think they are always right for everybody.
I would love to be dictator. You would have more freedom under me than any other form of administration. Why ? Because I know how to use power with restraint. (and I don't mean that in a kinky way)
So really, I have no problem with them putting up this resolution. In a way it is fighting fire with fire. Land it right in their laps, and don't be surprised if the same ilk that passed Prop 8 helps to pass this. Shifting and drifting allegiances are nothing new. People have no anchor. No solid foundation in their beliefs or morality.
People have defined some as lunatics, and unfortunately their desciption of same includes the PTB and themselves in most cases. Freedom fighters adopt the same tactics of critical omission and some degree of lies to accomplish what they percieve as a greater good. And that's at best, some are simply greedy and others even worse because they are power hungry.
There are many many miles of bad road ahead of us.
