"Mastering others is power. Mastering yourself makes you fearless." -Lao Tzu

"The true meaning of the term Samurai is one who defends and adheres to the power of love." -Morihei Ueshiba, The Art of Peace

The worst thing anyone can do in regard to bettering themselves and the world, is nothing.
About Me:
 
When you visit this channel, what do you see? I ask this because it seems that in my conversations with people from all walks of life I'm seen as many things: Some see me as a person who 'gets it', and others see me as a troll, a libtard, fargone, clueless and any number of names simply because I refuse to swallow the Ayn Rand/Ron Paul/Tea Party Manifesto.

And to those of you who see me this way, what is it that you are offering that has not been tried already? It can't be a new monetary system, because that's been done time and time again, only to have us end up where we are now. It can't be a free market, because one has never exist and never will, regardless of how much you cling to such an idea. It can't be states' rights, because such a concept is often the final refuge of those who wish to deny rights and/or services to certain demographics. Ask the slaves in 1860, or perhaps civil rights leaders a hundred years later, or how about now, with the political marginalization of gays and women. The Republican/Libertarian/Tea Party Manifesto is absolute bullshit, and the propagators know it full well. I'll let this quote from Ward Churchill sum it up:

"I hear Republicans and Libertarians and so forth talking about property rights, but they stop talking about property rights as soon as the subject of American Indians comes up, because they know fully well, perhaps not in a fully articulated, conscious form, but they know fully well that the basis for the very system of endeavor and enterprise and profitability to which they are committed and devoted accrues on the basis of theft of the resources of someone else. They are in possession of stolen property. They know it. They all know it. It's a dishonest endeavor from day one."

And lastly, as far as the Teabaggers are concerned, the participants of the Boston Tea Party would vomit in utter disgust. Why? Well let's see, the current Tea Party movement is cheering for the very thing that the BTP was trying to stop to begin with. They were fighting against the East India Company shutting down small tea businesses in the colonies by undercutting their prices, and these days, with the help of the Teabaggers, big business is doing exactly the same thing. There's a book in the books section that describes just what I said. I strongly suggest you google it, and then read it. Then you'll know why I am anti-Libertarian.

What did i see? You stereotype a lot, seem determined, somewhat enlightened, and a little more partisan than I thought it would be.

Wow, that's a great Churchill quote. I didn't know he said that!

You got a good point, Obama and Boehner have probably already struck a deal. American politics is that of a feigned wrestling match, smoke & mirrors indeed.

Impressed by your comment so I thought I'd drop in for a visit. Nice Tao quote on your profile. Intelligent and thoughtful channel. Is this "Homer" as in the poet of the Iliad and the Odyssey?
