Termyn8or -> RE: constitution idol (10/15/2007 1:15:19 PM)

I have to take back the "Smarter than a fifth grader" remark. When I was in the fifth grade I had already stopped reciting the pledge of allegiance. Dummy me. It is just words, pledges, promises and oaths mean nothing at all.
In a way the Constitution is a treaty between the People and the government. Look at how they have treated treaties in the past. It should be no surprise to find those shit stains on the Constitution as well.
Some of it was coming anyway, you can't yell "fire" in a crowded theater, why ? Because people are stupider than cattle and will kill each other to save themselves. Literally trample one another to death. So now we have six channel Dolby surround in the theaters that can make it seem that someone actually did yell "fire". Now we would sue the movie producer for those horrendous deaths. This because we teach children to be selfish, and they grow up to be selfish adults.
The second amendment had to go. Every day there would be a shooting over a parking spot. In this day and age it could happen at a gym where the person is going to get on a treadmill, but doesn't want to walk an extra few feet from the car.
My idea for gun control is sufficient, and it has not to do with the kind of gun you can HAVE, only the kind of gun yous can SHOOT, even in self defense. Within city limits, or in apartment buildings etc., hollow points must be used. Anyone who knows anything about guns knows why.
It just goes to show you, when you run away from a problem it will follow you. The oppression immigrants experienced in their native countries has come here. People from Russia who came here ask me "Where is the freedom ?". How am I to reply ? This guy couldn't believe that the metroparks closed at 11 PM. I didn't have the heart to tell him that he needs a license to fish, but I did it anyway. In Russia you don't need a fishing license. Also there when you get a hunting license it is good for life. One wonder how any Russian citizen can hunt, surely they are not allowed to have guns right ? Wrong !
There are very few people who can do my job in this country, and I suppose that is why I have met so many technically skilled immigrants. Most of them also have values that I consider desirable. Each and every one of them has considered going back. All of them tell a similar story, that what they were told about this country was false.
Now, they don't have to worry about too many educated Europeans emmigrating to the US, with email and international long distance the word is getting out. Most of the good people will be choosing alternate new homelands. Many of them do not want to go to England either, in fact there are many people contemplating leaving England as well. After all when you need a license for a TV set, it is just plain wrong. And we are heading there.
If you own a microwave oven you have probably violated federal "law". Micerowave ovens are required to be registered with the federal government. Did you do that ? Hell no, you paid the money, sat the thing on the fridge or some stand or shelf and plugged it in didn't you ? Criminal. The fine is ten grand. Pay up. They need your money to burn Women, children, houses.
At this juncture in history there is no hope, but there also is no fate. Hope cannot coexist with fate, and I for one do not fool myself. I will not have a happy retirement, I will not like the way things are unless there is a whole lot of blood shed. This because the assholes who fucked this country up are not stepping down voluntarily.
Actually what happened here is they lie. They lie so much we are used to it. And now, ironically, when they say the Constitution is a living document, they are merely re-reporting it's death.
Even in the fifties there was a state or two in which you did not even need a driver's license. Does this mean if you got drunk and hit somebody you would not be put in jail for it ? hell no. They used to put people in jail for hitting someone if they operated a horse and buggy carelessly and caused injury or damage.
Different times had different people. I mean the attitude. I'll pose a hypothetical question here, perhaps it can be answered but I am not really looking for an answer in the factual, historical sense. But feel free, it's just that I am more looking for comments.
After Lincoln was assassinated, did they start frisking people on the way into theaters for guns ? As a sub-question, should they have ?
Your answer to the sub-question will be quite telling of your personal views pertaining to personal freedom in this country. Some might not want to answer. If you believe that it is a good thing to give up your Rights for safety, it shows. But as a great statesman said a long time ago, it simply doesn't work.
Remember we are talking back then. This is my night out, I go to the theater, I have near four dollars in my pocket and the sherriff is on the other side of town. I have to protect myself. Of course I would think that the sherriff would be very closeby if the President of the whole dern US of A was at the town theater, but he wouldn't be worried about me. Of course he wouldn't want to have any crimes commited in the presence of the fine gentleman, but then, just like now they cannot be everwhere.
This is the crux of the matter. The Constitution of this country was specifically designed to keep the People able and willing to defend themselves. The freedom of assembly is specifically desinged to enable the People to get together and get a plan to coerce the government to bend to the will of the People. Gun rights secure the threat. All the stuff in there having to do with what they can and can't do when they take your property and put you in jail was designed so that they could not engineer society by selectively enforcing the "law".
That is the spirit of the Constitution and I assure you it is dead. It is not only dead in the halls of government, it is dead in the hearts and minds of the people. The first person who said "There should be a law" should've been summarily shot. You SHOULD be able to yell "fire" in a crowded theater, people should not react like cattle. They should respond like humans. But they don't.
It is not surprising that many people abandon the tenets of the Founding Fathers. Look around them.
"LOOK AROUND THEM"
That is one for the books. That means to step outside of your box and examine what another has percieved in life. You will never know it all, but to try to understand, to understand why they think like they do, that is an asset. To try to get just a little insight into their life experience, that which shaped their present opinions and thoughts.
This is sad. It is also sad that people in general would, if you were to yell "fire" in a theater, instead of looking around to see where the fire is, they would bolt like cattle, trampling their loved ones, friends and neighbors.
It is sad that there are people who are so wrapped up in their own lives and devoid of any humanity that they would consider shooting someone for a parking spot.
Perhaps we do not deserve the rights that were given us. Perhaps we deserve to have lost all the rights they have taken away. Perhaps we simply aren't advanced enough as a race, to handle these rights responsibly. Don't even get into the Protocols, these are MY words. I see it every day. The historical perspect supports this, but real life establishes it as near fact.
There are only two ways out, shoot your way out or teach your way out. If everyone is taught to think and act responsibly, we can have our rights back. We can organize and present our redress. We can then go to the next stage if necessary. As I said before, McVeigh was an asshole. That was no way to get things done. As intelligent as I may be, one Man is not enough, and I don't even mean the grunt work. I mean the thinking and planning. If anything ever happens, we must not alienate the masses. We must curry their favor and get them on our side. And we need to teach them what it is supposed to be like here, who fucked it up and above all else, SELF CONTROL.
And that means more than most think. That means on 9/11/01 you watch the WTC collapse and feel nothing. You didn't feel good but you just reserved your emotions for a time so you could think. You specifically did not listen to Bush, even though you heard his words. You specifically decided to think this out on your own. You did not scream for retribution in the first millesecond. Know what I mean ?
We have all been lied to all our lives, and that has shaped our opinions and attitudes. Sifting through the lies to get the truth is quite important if we are ever to evolve.
Enough. Be well. Consider my words. Your life is happening right now. Live it. It is either live it or lose it, or live it and lose it. Your choice.
