USG Chess Match

Sheldon Richman has said some great things about the situation regarding the Ukraine.

One is constantly reminded by events of how childish political leaders are.  Putin in Russia and various American politicians act like the Ukraine is some playground and the inhabitants are plastic legos ( TM ) that can be tossed around , set on fire and then be buried.

There are some very positive things that the USG and the POTUS can do.

#1   Start shutting down NATO.  This will reduce tensions and have the added benefit of reducing government waste ( $$$ ).

#2  Invite Ukrainian entrepreneurs to a big love fest in various US cities.  Drop travel restrictions.  ( Do NOT have USG spend $$$ )  Start eliminating barriers to doing business with US companies. ( For everyone , not just Ukrainians )

#3  Invite Putin and Russian entrepreneurs to the love fest as well.  Apologize for past insults to Russia.

#4  Invite the world's entrepreneurs to the love fest.

Possible scam from GeekSquad

I recently received a solicitation from *The GeekSquad* inviting me to renew coverage on a computer that GeekSquad never covered in the first place.  This looks like a thinly disguised attempt to trick an owner into *renewing* coverage they never had.  It is one thing to offer a service to a prospective customer.  It is unethical to pretend there is already a relationship.  In addition, the fine print suggests you will not be getting the coverage a reasonable person would expect.

Voting supports Mob Rule

 All of the time... I hear .... vote ... vote .... vote ... it is a godly thing ... It is the duty of an informed citizen..  No ... No .... No .....  Voting is none of these things. 

#1   Voting is meaningless ....  ( especially at the Federal level)  ... most of the time a single vote has no impact on the results.  A voter does not know what the results of a vote will mean.  Politicians ( especially the POTUS ) twist in the wind and lie about their future agendas.  Bureaucrats and regulators do as they please and ignore the voters.  Judges interpret laws and the Constitution as they wish.  They come up with very imaginative interpretations.

#2  Most voters are trying to game the government system.  They hope to get *stuff* from the government that exceeds what they pay in taxes , fees and inconvenience.  They don't care to think about who is being punished for them to get their *goodies*

If you love freedom , individual actualization , creativity , productive living ......   then work to eliminate the government , the parasites , the pirates , the control freaks, the leeches, the killers, the takers of prisoners, the slavelords.  All manner of slimy behaviour is encouraged by the government.  And thus, all manner of slime supports the government.

Subject: Regarding Walter Block & distortions of his philosophy 99cyasr

Dear Sir ,

I understand that you have made some rather bold statements regarding Professor Block.  I have taught college level courses in critical thinking and I can assure you....

#1 You are confused about what Dr. Block is saying about slavery.

#2 Civil Rights legislation in the U.S. does require business owners to associate with others against their will.

My Mother

My Mother
My Mother listens to me politely when I rage about the state.... about state sponsored killing and theft via taxes and the curtailment of freedom.  And I talk about how the brightest , most productive people are handcuffed by regulations and ground into the dirt by small-minded bureaucrats.

And I know what she is thinking ...... " what a waste of time and energy ....  why don't you chill out, Gus.  I get a Social Security check and the police have always been nice to me.  What is your beef... really ?  You pay your dues and then the government takes care of you .... "

So today she calls me.  Comcast has sent her 7 cease and desist emails.  She is accused of violating the Digital Millennium Act.  Someone she does not know has used bit-torrent to send her 7 baby pictures.  These pictures are for a friend to look at.  She does not know who the baby is, does not know the parents , does not know what bit-torrent is, .......  The pictures included an MP3 song called "That's My Kid" .... Now ComCast is threatening to pull her digital plug.

So I am supposed to fix this for her....  Take care of something she now thinks is *unfair*.  Oh yes ..... I am grumpy today.

Update 2014m02d06
I went over to Mom's today.  Someone had installed bitTorrent on her MacIntosh back in August of 2013.  Someone had turned on the wireless with no protection.  I turned off Torrent and defeated auto-start.  I turned off the wireless.  Now I realize I should have checked if anyone had turned on remote control of the the  Mac.  Duh......  Now I have a project for Friday.
