A.J. Lake, you make John Galt laugh!!!
>>The politics of "today" are simply a predictable display of age-old human nature.<<
What makes the difference is precisely that politics is now a 'predictable display'. This has never before been so easily discernable.
>>Communication has been improving since Paul Revere. What of our politics?<<
Do not underestimate the power of this new medium of mass communications - the Internet. Never before has man had so available
to him the power of information at his fingertips. No longer can
the powers that be manipulate news and control the dissemination
of information. In the great wars and in the tyranny of the masses
the ability to control information was paramount. No longer is this
kind of control possible - unless the ignorant masses allow it. You
do not give the proper weighting in your mind to the revolution that
is upon us.
>>What rebel states?<<
Texas will probably be at the forefront. However, this is hard to
predict. With the disintegration of communism throughout the world,
what common enemy do we have that will hold the country together? Space aliens? Before long, the Feds will no longer be able to deliver
because of a general erosion of support. Radical but elected elements of the states will begin to show themselves and gain wide-spread support. Watch.
>>The government sent the truck out purposely to provoke the underground to pillage it. This kept the underground constructively occupied and drew them into the open for easier identification.<<
The government is no longer adept at handling underground movements.
>>Suggesting that the government I know today is in peril is to suggest that society will suddenly be different now. Governments, like societies, evolve. Human nature (politics) is forever<<
You are misinformed as it comes to evolution. Evolution also comes
as radical changes in short periods of time. The most recent of the scientific evidence reveals this.
Politics is no longer an arena for the resolution of conflict but, rather, the purveyor of its perpetuation. Politics has become so
self-serving that even a blind, deaf, and dumb individual can see it.
It is obscene to argue that because things are as they are today is due to a long and slow evolutionary process. Yet, at any time, in
the historical record, great calamaties have always appeared. Our time in the now is not any less suspectible. Why should you think it
is now? Because you're in it?
