Dear Friends, No one cares about the working slob,In every way the elite take con and rob,Climb a tree,Get a degree,And be in debt while an immigrant gets the job. Corporations and government are in bed,In a unified partnership they … Continue reading

Ethical Failure
Dear Friends, It seems to me, a nation’s government can only work when all factions hold themselves to some rational set of rules. If a faction will not, and uses those rules to expand its power, that nation will soon … Continue reading

Dear Friends, There once was a senator shrill,She came across as a bitter pill,Ranting away,A donkeys’ bray,With her hand in big pharma’s till. Migrant workers undercut our wages,As the deadly fentanyl crisis rages,The elite don’t care,Aliens on welfare,And H1-b visas … Continue reading

Defining An Evil Faction
Dear Friends, It seems absurd to me to expect a faction that’s tyrannically violent, believes itself our betters, holds itself above the law, and even civility itself… will deliver anything but poverty, crime, and despotism once in power. It’s like … Continue reading

More Laws
Dear Friends, It seems to me, the more laws, the greater the imbalance of power between the people and the elites. Even as fewer laws lower that imbalance. Once the imbalance crosses an invisible line, we call it “despotism” or … Continue reading

A Faction’s Core Principles
Dear Friends, It seems to me, factions should be judged by their core principles. If the core idea of a faction is unlimited government all their initiatives will be towards that goal. If the core idea of another faction is … Continue reading

The Unethical Faction
Dear Friends, It seems to me, a faction that wants to get rid of all limits to power, like a constitution, can exploit that constitution to be a tool of its own destruction. This is because would be despots won’t … Continue reading

Absurdity, Universals, and Despotism
Dear Friends, It seems to me, despots use modifiers to pervert universals to mean their opposites. They see morality as contingent on political ideal, justice contingent on a political favor, and a crime contingent on the criminal. The result is … Continue reading →
