I think I have a better idea of what some people are thinking now. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how things play out. I remain hopeful that this country will find a way to pull together and sort out some of our many problems.

Tau, our people are now cleaved into two distinct and diametrically opposed ideologies regarding the fundamental nature of our society.

One side has become solidly indoctrinated into a leftist, statist view, and believes that, "a government by the people, of the people, and for the people", means an all-powerful, totalitarian state which has the power to take from one, and give to another.

The other side hews toward the Framers' understanding of the principles and concepts laid down in our founding documents, and wishes nothing more than to be left alone in their pursuit of liberty and happiness.

The first group can't achieve their kind of utopian world without a host body of productive citizens to prey on. Of course, they can only do that with the help of a powerful central government which wields FORCE against the productive class to steal the fruits of their honest labors.

This is the nitty gritty of the current political divide. Everything else is just filler.

As long as we've got a significant percentage of the population who feel they're entitled to our hard won earnings, and who are more than willing to empower a rogue government to engage in legalized plunder on their behalf, we're not going to fix this. At some point, the preyed-upon run out of civil options to stop the criminal behavior of their government and the parasite class. I'm almost convinced that this last election was that point.

When a law-abiding, freedom loving people run out of civil options to obtain fair treatment in their country, they find other options. It's my hope that the good people of America choose the option of fighting this evil. Whatever it takes.
