In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

Why Socialism/Communism Doesn't Work

I spent a huge amount of my career dealing with people. My opinion is that there are too many willing to sacrifice their liberty for a free ride. In a healthy society, being lazy, or unproductive, isn't something that the rest of society accepts. If the restraints of government, or an organization, allow the lazy the same benefits of those that produce, those that produce will either try to escape the system, or refuse to offer anything more than what the most unproductive achieve. This invites anger, retribution, and a yearning for the situation to end. The final result, as the past has shown, there isn't enough, somebody has to be eliminated to conserve resources, and genocide appears. Those in power flourish, and never have any qualms about eliminating those that don't follow their narrative.

  1. We have farmers dependent on social subsidies to put groceries on the shelf, the store owner dependent on customers with food stamps to move that produce, and of course the consumer dependent on food stamps for survival.

    I don’t know what the answer is but I’d say we’ve become more of a nation of handing out more corporate welfare than otherwise. I mean, they are the one’s calling the shots.

    On another note, I’m actually a fan of socialist snow plows to clear the roads and socialist fire trucks that put out the flames.

    1. All Socialist, and Communist governments do the same thing: Increase their wealth, destroy those that get in the way, and kill those they feel are taking too much of their resources. That leads to ambulances for their families only, and fire trucks stationed only on their personal property.

  2. The only people who benefit from a Socialist or Communist government, are the elite; they get wealthier and richer, as they continue to take (steal) from the common man.
