No one wants to give to charities anymore because everybody is forced at gunpoint to pay high taxes that fund welfare.
No one trusts anyone because of wiretapping and you don't know when someone works for the secret police.
Everything is illegal, but there is no of rule of law. The government can't arrest everyone because there are not enough prisons and no one calls the police. People in police states must lie, bribe, and look for loopholes to do anything. Men might dress as Muslim females to escape surveillance and change their gender on their driver licenses.
Nobody has morals because there are no churches.
No one respects property because the state owns everything.
No one has children because what kind of life is this?
Democrats still are kind, honest and trusting.
The last few days I prepped my first ever charity deduction for my taxes. Nobody pointed a gun at me in the process. The biggest problem was replacing a lost receipt.
I don’t know anything that anyone would wiretap me for. I suppose if you planned an insurrection it might be different.
I respect the law. I have not had to lie, bribe or look for loopholes. I have not pretended to be what I’m not with respect to religion or driver licenses.
The Catholic nuns did pound in their view of morals. That much I have honored even through my long argument with organized religion.
My old church is still operating. As I said, I’m still moral even though I don’t go to that church.
The state doesn’t own my little place on a hill, or anywhere else on my lake, or any other lake nearby. The closet is the town owning the local fire station.
I haven’t had children, but that is because I never found the right woman, not because of the state of the state.
In short, you are one of many people whose view of the world has nothing to do with my reality. If you live in a nest of lies, is it any wonder that your politics have nothing to do with my reality? On Xenakis’s site they are all into the war of the week and how civilization is about to collapse, never mind that there has been no crisis war in the Information Age or that the only things conceivably be heading for collapse are China, Russia and our own Republican Party. He censors me whenever I point that out. I can have some sympathy for the families that lost love ones to COVID, lost jobs to the bug’s fallout, are the victims of fires out west, hurricanes down south, minorities facing injustice at the hand of bad cops, not to mention the capitol police.
The Democrats are trying...
And I am about out of patience with Republicans working themselves into a frenzy with lies. There are some real problems out there. This is a crisis. It is a time to sacrifice for the common good. Choose a real problem and do what you can to help your community solve it. Enough lies.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
