Shape, Frog and Moon

Well instead of a crappy short post, or a long boring one about myself, I am today going to talk about something that I think is important, and that is argument. Please remember as you read this that I am only trying to paraphase my own recent thoughts/conversations I have had/ things I have listened to and read. I am presenting an argument from a certian point of view, and if you don't agree, you should tell me.

Argument has to be the single most important contributor to our democracy. It is what led to the Revolutionary War and it is what led to making our country and world as we know them today. If we didn't argue, and all thought the same things about everything, then there would be no need for democracy as we would be in some sort of futuristic super state or dead. It makes me angry when politicians say that they want have less argument and more of a singular mentality, because that would mean that there are no longer any right or wrong ideas. This is stupid, because as you know from experience, all ideas are not created equal... different actions lead to different consequences. Some actions lead to favorable consequences, and some lead to those that are unfavorable. Treating them both equally is the absence of discriminatory thought and common sense.

Something else I don't like is giving different things different names to make people feel comfortable with them. You would not call a cigarette a super super fun stick just to attract child smokers would you?........................... What I am talking about is of course socialism. As you may or may not know, socialism is the ultimate fight for equality. However, it usually does not work out that way, be it in the form of the National Socialists in Germany, the Soviets in Russia, the Fascists in Italy or Clement Attlee's Labour party in post WWII England. In fact, it usually means that things suck equally bad for almost everybody, especially the Jews. Although Clement Attlee was in my opinion not as bad as the others I mentioned, I just wanted to get his name into this one sided conversation. What is funny, is that Clement Attlee was a Socialist. He was proud of his socialism. If you take WWII out of the equation I am about to make, his manifesto is exactly the same as that of America's Democratic party today. Why can't they just call it what it is? Socialism is socialism, and socialism is not freedom as it was defined by our founding documents. Be honest..

This is something that has to be argued about, so start doing it now. Has the desire to be more co-operative and politically correct with everyone taken over all that history and the present has to teach us about what works and what doesn't? American Democracy works. Argument works, and it works better if terms are defined in their recognizable historical context.


That is all.. I don't know. I hate politics... I don't really understand enough of it to make such broad statements, and I do not care.. It is my blog, and you chose to read it. My nose hurts. My eyes are itchy, and I am tired. I need a new toothbrush.

Oh, and ukuleles are awesome.
