Whether any reform at the level of government can stop the slow motion collapse, or even slow it down much, is an open question. The most the average person can do is give the system a little nudge in the right direction.<br /><br />To have a positive effect it is necessary to keep up that nudge as a steady pressure. Up here in MN the Ron Paul/Monarchist* movement garnered enough delegates to choose an Austrian Economist as a US Senate Candidate, but have failed to give him the support he would need to run an effective campaign against a lock-step liberal incumbent.<br /><br />*I call them monarchists because they are a personality cult interested almost exclusively in the power of the chief executive who is expected to be the Protector of the Peoples Rights. How most of them can claim any libertarian principles is beyond me.fast richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05947715402204312013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-88093239815257492082012-09-21T08:55:16.858-04:002012-09-21T08:55:16.858-04:00One thing's for durn sure: Keeping a guy in o...One thing's for durn sure: Keeping a guy in office who keeps trying to build a personality cult is not going to be good for anybody, in either the short or the long run.<br /><br />Obama needs to be shown the door, and that soon.

I'm ...Heh. <br /><br /><i>Better hungry later than sooner!</i><br /><br />I'm kinda with Divemedic on this one. I think I'm probably better off to be hungry at 35 than 65. And if I'm going to have to run around and play Wolverines!, I'd rather do it before the arthritis I've already got gets any worse, y'know?<br /><br />(Though, of course, I'd rather not do it at all, but as you say, we're not voting our way out of this one.)perlhaqrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01920117742664645165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-73202328311238664132012-09-21T08:12:38.913-04:002012-09-21T08:12:38.913-04:00I want it later -- more time to prepare; more time...I want it later -- more time to prepare; more time to enjoy the good stuff while we can.
