The relating that a vertical government (now obsolete because it) transmogrified following establishment of this nation under agrarian founders has great merit (the Spider and the Starfish references, IIRC). The vertical transmogrification to usher along the advancements of the industrial revolution is poorly fitted to handle the planar technological advancements we have now in abundance.
Whittle's idea of free enterprise solutions to improving education, etc. has great merit, and I've been contemplating all day on the ways a transition of our current governmental system into a more flexible, smaller federal footprint might be achieved. But everything I come up with requires a virtuous people, where the taboo structure of the culture prevents men from criminal fraud on the scale our banking system world-wide now purveys. And where cheating the vote counts is anathema because it sheats your neighbor in the final analysis.
I really do believe there is a globalist agenda being arranged which requires the collapse of our We The People Republic in order to be established as one world government. I believe that globalist framework is what allows the antichrist to take world-wide control so quickly. But I cannot know the timing factors, obviously.
And who can say, the decline of education and rise of debauchery in America has been going full bore for long enough now that most people who can vote are too disconnected and or uneducated to even know why it is their duty to vote responsibly instead of on emotion and revenge.
Perhaps these people need to be ruled now, instead of being the sovereigns the founders desired. We certainly live in interesting times! Maybe a dlengthy discussion thread will arise on which ideas may be aired, related to Bill Whittle's vision. ... But somehow I doubt it will happen.
Our flag in distress next to the an iconic symbol of free-market Capitalism in America. Quite a powerful statement. But Moochelle would be more concerned about trans fats in the fries.
And with four more years of 0bama their stock might actually go up. Relatively cheap food.
I wore my flag pin upside down today. Will be wearing a black armband tomorrow.
How could I forget? It will fly on Veterans Day.
Can't say whether a discussion will be lengthy or not but I did post your link on this excellent thread by Joanie-f:
November 6, 2012: A Day That Will Live in Infamybecause I think it may be an antidote to our despair and hopelessness over what we fear is coming.
Cordially,
It’s generally considered a turnkey operation. McDonalds has done all the research. And when I say all the research I mean ALL the research. They’ve got thousands of sites picked out for future McDs, they’ve got revenue estimates for all those locations, their revenue estimates show it’ll be at least moderately profitable, they know your price ceiling. And that’s just the ground work, then you dig into the OMT manual and there’s everything you need to drive that, what equipment to buy, how to arrange, how to use and maintain it, how many employees to hire, what you’re looking for in employees, how many to have on the floor at any given time. And of course you get all the advertising and corporate identity. Really if you can read at a 6th grade level and do what McDs tells you to you will have a successful store, and from there you can expand and have dozens of successful stores.
And none of this is unique to McDs, this is how the franchise business model works. The only thing that’s different about McDs is they’re so thorough, their ground research is amazing. Amazing enough that economists still use the price of a BigMac in an area to determine the real comparative value of their currency, the BigMac Index is there because McDs has decided how much labor it should take the average worker to buy a BigMac, and they price to make that happen.
Follansbee WV, state route 2 along the Ohio river.
Near Wheeling
Wish I lived close enough to pull in for a Big Mac and Pumpkin shake.
For the last four years, I have put all postage stamps upside down, especially those with US flags. My way of protesting The NEW ORDER. That practice will continue until the next non-dimocrap POTUS is in the Oval Office.
Where is this? What state?
Fly it upside down.
It’s in the northern panhandle of West Virginia...town of Follansbee. On the banks of the Ohio River, in that bit of land in between OH and Penn.
