PROMETHEAN ANTAGONIST

RENEGADE FOLLIES AND ENCHANTMENTS TO ANNOY, BEWILDER, OR INSPIRE - DEPENDING ON THE OBSERVER *** True rebels have always believed in individual autonomy and free choice in thought and purpose. Real rebels are Promethean. The left has always stood for little more than coercion for the sake of power and bogus "moral" authority.

Statist Thinking and Policy

 This blog is no longer an active interest of mine but I think I may occasionally repost some material from earlier times….like the following:

The Typical Chain Of Events In Statist Thinking And Policy

Identify a problem
↓
Attempt to impose a solution to the problem
↓
Recognize that the problem largely results from diverse natural attributes in human nature
↓
Lable the offending attributes, "greed, selfishness, and non-cooperation"
↓
Attempt to change human nature itself through laws, regulations and "reeducation"
↓
Punish people who continue to exhibit human nature
