Liberty: People On The Street

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. The other day I saw this interview on the news with "people on the street". It was regarding which political candidates to vote for. It was like watching something from the 1950s. It was like I was watching some Cold War propaganda documentary or listening to some southern preacher go on about some god fearing blah blah blah. I just could not believe it.

These people were saying that they supported so and so all because of social issues. They were all saying that the world is going to hell in a hand basket more or less because people have no values. That people have no morals. That people need the government to fix things. That the reason we have lost our way is because we need more programs, family values, etc all done by the government. I could not believe what I was listening to. My mouth dropped.

I was yelling at the television..."please don't vote!". What is wrong with people who think this way? What is wrong with people who can't think for themselves? What logic is used to keep throwing money at something when it does not or cannot work. It never has, so why try now?

I don't want the government teaching or providing moral legislation. Nor should you. That is not going to fix things. I've been beating my head against the wall most of my adult life at this stuff. It has not gotten better. People are just way too out of touch to care, but mostly to understand.

Leave people alone. Let the markets decide things. Let families, church's, organizations, educators work on the social stuff. Don't let the politicans teach or control you. It doesn't work!

You people on the street just don't understand. I don't know why your brains function like that do, but I'm convinved there is some human element or deficiency that plays perfectly into be ruled by socialism. It has to be. Can so many people be that dumb? Obvioulsy it has NOTHING to do with political party either.
