The fundamental nature of security remains unchanged since prehistory. People have always faced hazards they must either defend against or suffer, and the spectrum of hazards necessarily includes existential

The difference isn't mere pedantry, but the difference between sovereignty and slavery. Free men are armed, and that alone is what keeps them from being slaves. The unarmed should understand this, but

I look forward to reading the results of your defense of your thesis, and I hope - I am sure with you - the degree and career you seek, and clearly merit, is awarded. Thanks!

I cannot disagree with your conclusion, that Marxism is more a breach than the reality of freedom. I have not heretofore read an analysis and comparison of Hegel, Marx, and Engels, but your edification

Hehe Thanks!

I wouldn't want to recall that self own in court either. Thanks!

It is indeed terrible, even worse, America has abandoned the time-honored tradition of riding politicians that deserve it out of town on rails. Tar and feathers remain an option, yet sales remain flat.

This is why I have long recommended we stop paying them. When we make what we need ourselves, we cut them off from the wealth they parasitize from us when we buy products from them, work for them, or pay

Unfortunately, I completely agree with you that things are bound to get worse. I hope there is a brief spike in insecurity this fall followed by a rapid recovery, but fear a sustained plunge that causes

Any division between the people suits their conquerors. Thanks!

Freedom cannot be given. It must be created. We are only as free as we make us. Thanks!

Most people don't even care if they're right about their opinions, but rather prefer to be on the side of whomever they think will treat them best. Long before the Irish were being enslaved, the Slavs

So much truth in one post. Thanks!

"...the plutocracy hates the poor..." Mostly they just love themselves, and think they're really smart because they loot everything that isn't nailed down. Eventually they despise their utter

That's exactly the look. Nailed it. Thanks!

Well said. The truth is that DPoS is just the Golden Rule. Them that have the gold rule. It's pure plutocracy, and the DHF is being looted before the cow dies, as you point out. That's why no DHF proposal

There's one going up not too far from here. Hmmm... Thanks!

My inherited barn cat, Scampers, got kicked by a nervous fawn a year or so ago, and now he doesn't approach them anymore. Who'd have predicted the deer would be the violent ones in that encounter? Thanks!
