The whole rest of my post is about NOT DOING THAT, but instead, debating and coordinating something useful.
Rand’s novel had a few key industries and titans of them held the nation in their hands. We are actually a nation of 25 million businesses, 25 million producers and ‘captains’ of their destiny. Why would I think that a ‘strike’ is really the means? I merely expressed my fatigue at having to be the daily target of mindless prejudice and stupidity, because I’m in business for myself.
I think we need to continue what we’re doing. And Palin said it best yesterday when she argued against the mediocrity of the so-called TP reps in DC.
I don’t believe a passive-aggressive tactic will save the Country. It’ll require industrious activism, and an industrious economy. Entitlements, and self-serving expectations need to be replaced with hard work, pride, and the simple desire to save the wonderful Country for our children if not for ourselves. Perhaps we’re saying the same thing differently.
I vote for aggressive-aggressive. And yes, there was an element of ‘knee-jerk’ in my initial comment.
