“”Probably no other society has failed as dismally as the United States in the late 20th century to meet the basic test of any civilization: to enforce simple order and protect the lives and property of its members.””

Very good - thanks for the link. I wonder what the writer thinks of what’s happening TO our country in the 21st century...

The seat belt and NC governor story made me think of when seat belts became law...was that the first law that affected how we went about our daily lives? I’m not talking about obeying traffic signals, speed limits etc. We got the seat belt laws and then the HELMET laws on riders of motorcycles and it hasn’t stopped since.

To be honest I am not even familiar with the publication—just saw that one article that looked solid.

“I have to take Viagra to get my hopes up.”

Back in the day, you had to have emergency salt peter to keep the bloody hopes down! In stark terror you’d be called to the blackboard in freshman high school English class. Slow dancing at prom unmitigated disaster. Woke up in a tent every morning. And on and on. Finally discovered jock straps. Whew! Now, no more worries!

Sam Francis—the author of the concept of anarcho-tyranny—died in 2005.

The left and many establishment republicans and even conservatives hated and feared him.

He was off the charts brilliant and called it as he saw it.

“Totalitarianism in all forms is EVIL!”

Especially in a country that proclaims it is free..but isn’t and persecutes political opponents with the blunt force of the State.

Absolutely True.

Here is where it leads.

These young men from Brazil see it very clearly. And our State Department and our CIA and some of the UN are running this scam. In places, NATO has waged war against the USA.

The only time I heard GENDER in my 16 years of schooling was in French I, and it was associated with you vowel endings and article you would use for the given word.
