Free Advice

A doctor and a lawyer were talking at a party. Their conversation was constantly interrupted by people describing their ailments and asking the doctor for free medical advice.

After an hour of this, the exasperated doctor asked the lawyer, "What do you do to stop the people from asking you for legal advice when you are out of the office?"

"I give it to them," replied the lawyer, "and then I send them a bill."

The doctor was shocked, but agreed to give it a try.

The next day, still feeling slightly guilty, the doctor prepared a batch of bills to send to those who asked him for advice at the party.

When he went to place them in his mailbox, he found a bill from the lawyer.

If we can, should we affect change?

I see with the changes in the world we are currently seeing, some of us must wonder if we should change things just because we can and want change. It may seem like an odd question in the face of facts, but as a moderate conservative, the fewer the changes (quite often) the better. As well, the idea of unintended consequences, the unimaginably complicated machinations which work social, legal, and moral human and natural orders, and the generally chaotic nature of the human factor (how things change just because humans are involved), change becomes quite tenuous on an intellectual, emotional, and spiritual level.

The answer is simple, in spite of all of that. We are lead to improve things, or try, by our natural gifts from God. Beyond that, should we hear and choose to follow the words of God and the living word through Christ both via the Holy Ghost, we are commanded to try to bring heaven to earth as we may in our imperfect yet loved and loving way.

In practical terms, there is this. I cannot know if this is real, staged by angle, or just outright hacked. What I can say is this, "What if?". Yes, affecting change is within our grasp and can be thunderously wonderful.

The price that women will pay for feminism.

For decades now, women have been reaping the harvest of double special treatment. They have been treated like ladies and like men. There is a price due for dancing with the devil and it is about to come due. How it will be implemented, who all will go down and how far, and other basics will be based upon women's actions from here on. Should they, as a group, surrender, terms could be rather slight. If they decide to fight to the last for their right to kill men's children, act like spoiled brats while being treated like mature men, and keeping other new "rights" they have "earned", the price will be quite high.

The first shots are being sent over their bow. The first two were quiet, in many ways. The appointment and soon to be appointment of two Supreme Court Justices, neither of them female or any other minority was a test case and the first shot. The next shot is the impending fall of Roe v. Wade. This shot is truly the most impressive one so far, and has implications that have been all but unimaginable for all of my 40ish years of life. Soon, the shots will be like the sky fireflies of a close encounter with a comet.

In discussing the minor issue of toilet seat etiquette with kiwi the geek and then seeing the article above, I realized the dots I was seeing were coming together to form a stark picture for feminists and really all women in general. The mommy state and most 'isms' are about to be circular filed and the one and true lords are rising. My suggestion, ladies, is to find a good man, a principled man, and hold on. The very cement that has held the floor under you is about to drop.

Women, the left, and why not.

Women have been a part of the creation of all civilizations. As mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters they share in shaping young minds to grumpy old guys like me. In their ways, they have brought light to the darker recesses of men's lives homes hearts and minds. They have inspired men to greatness both in a man-specific and mankind sort of way. There is no doubt that they deserve their places as queen, lady, woman, and girls. What happens when the queen wants to be king? Catastrophic societal breakdown and the failure of millennia of advancement.

There are reasons for this. It is not as if, like your parents might have told you, that it is because I or anyone else says so. The primary reason is that women are not men and cannot compete with men in a realistic manner. When they abandon their much needed role to attempt to become independent, they lose their worth to society. The loss of the worth of half of society is bound to be disastrous. As well, in assuming male roles, they push males out of roles they should be filling in a dumbed down sort of way. Consider women being on the front lines as a solid example. True, they haven't been put there as combat troops but they are there as support troops. What is wrong with that? Why did a seal team go on a raid to free a wounded female GI? It was because she was a women, there was no other reason as a man would have been safer in enemy hands than in a potentially risky rescue. The rescue went forth because there was more than speculation that the woman was being molested or raped. The fear on both the left and the right was that an enemy raped impregnated GI would mess up the whole game. Now you are beginning to see just one aspect of the problem.

As for justice in society, that has been a male role all through history. Feminist revisionists would love for you to believe this is just another case of misogyny. That women could and should fill this role. New data indicates that women aren't up to it. It is not that women favor injustice, it is more that they psychologically or physically have an aversion to implementing justice. On the flip side, I would guess that women who have been harmed actually go overboard in retribution. A simple example of this is the fact that in many native tribes, after the warfare is done, the women on the winning side are sent in to finish of the enemy. While doing that, they often torture and mutilate the wounded and dead enemy.

Women, I should say feminist, involvement in government has lead the role of government astray. Among their many failings in direction is their push for equality. This equality is supposed to be not only blind and correct in application of law but also stupid in implementation, as noted in the first paragraph. Look here for more of what feminism has done with equality and it's evil ways.

Feminism has so twisted from being a positive (at times) female group supporting family, church, the US, and fair labor practices that it is unrecognizable. That is unless you understand it was subverted by Stalinists. No, you say? Who do you really think Betty Friedan, mother of modern feminism and author of "The Feminine Mystique" was? Some mild mannered housewife who became frustrated with her lot in life? Wrong, she was a rich man's wife. She had a maid and a cook, she didn't bother with dishes, cooking, or raising children. She attended (perpetually) a local college where she was a known supporter of Stalinist governance. She was a number one fan of communism. She, in other words, was a puppet of a man, or more truthfully, of men (husband, professors, Stalin).

Another issue that has been turned on it's head by new age feminism is birthing. By engendering a hatred for children, marriage, and men in that order, they have brought about a larger holocaust than any the planet has seen before. Just in America, the numbers are beyond 40 million recorded deaths. Russia has a similar number. As you add all the nations up, keeping a sharp eye on China, you find no other source of artificially created human death (perhaps all other sources combined) in all of history and all in the space of fifty years or less. While feminists kill the modern, civil, technical Western Civilization, our enemies grow and fast. They grow not only in their nations, but now in ours.

This is why the enemy isn't just the little brown man with a grenade launcher. This is why we must change, and fast. This is why it may already be too late for Europe. Finally, this is why not.

The logic of the new left.

So sorry about the long break. Though visiting my Mother was a great thing, her technology is somewhat wanting. I suppose I am spoiled with my equipment and services so that I have temper tantrums when I have to spend three or four times the effort, time, and concentration to get her equipment to allow me to blog. Yes, I sat in a corner of her living room and braindeaded myself with television. Boy did I show 'em. :) Honestly it was a little frustrating, so I backed away. But now I am home, it's time to get it going again!

The logic the new left (libertarians in particular) is providing is quite often in the same direction as that of the old left. The old left, the hard-core democrats like Ted Kennedy, Schummer, Feinstein, and their ilk, is in a smoking ruin (looks something like the remnants of the Twin Towers, in political terms). The new left is actually principled, though still lame. They want an end to the War on Drugs, the smart (techy) War on Terrorism (for our own sake you know), they support pornography, prostitution, abortion, and many other things that are just as out there as the old left.

They posit their ideas in an idyllic though logical manner. They invoke these ideals as Constitutional and logical. They are working hard to "educate" the right (republicans) but are ending up just becoming the new left. They haven't learned why American academics has turned into a failure. It's because using eloquent logic that doesn't work will only be appreciated by other idiots. That logic itself is rather weak, no matter how pretty it looks, since it hasn't been able to prove the simplest of ideas, such as the idea that 1 + 1 = 2. If they can't "prove" that, how can they honestly expect to help a complex society? The new left is falling right into the same pitfalls of the old left, and then rather than admitting they are wrong they are losing their principles to keep their "truths".

Honestly, there is no perfect political organization except churches which remain faithful and then only as that applies to heavenly things. Any group with it's eyes and ears based in fleshly designs is less than ideal. However, of the choices available, the best political operations are the ones conducted for, by, and of the people. Democrats have kept blacks as slaves of men or slaves of state while Republicans have offered blacks a simple sink or swim freedom. Which is best is easy to see but seems difficult for a race to embrace. Democrats want to offer you whatever you want, Republicans want to offer you a chance to be more than you thought you could be and tying responsibility to reward or punishment. Again, it's easy to see which is better but this time a whole nation of people seems too lazy to work for a win and live within the constraints of doing no harm to others in the quest for wants and needs. The new left is, in this way, only slightly different from the old left.
