Space -- We need more of it.

For a long time I've advocated that the human race needs to leave earth. why? because it's too small.

4 centuries ago, when this area was first settled, it would take around 3 months for any message from the parent country to reach it's subjects. it would take the same amount of time for any agent to arrive, as they both would use the same means of travel.

Now? your glorious leaders can send you a message via TV & radio as if you were in the same room, listening to them speak. time to get an agent there? we've got planes that can circle the globe in less than a day. even the more conventional commercial aircraft can go from one coast to the other in less than 10 hours.

It's too easy to be reached.

when it was hard for our masters to contact us, out of nesecarriness, we became independent. we even went to war against the most powerful nation on earth, and surprising everyone, including ourselves, we won.

I've long argued any distance to our masters that can be traveled in less than a week, is too close. In order to be free, we need to be far enough away to make it too expensive to reach us, both in cost and in time.
So a freind was asking about some terms I was using, and I pointed him towards Orwells 1984. If you haven't read this book, do so.

But then I got to thinking. about ten years back there was a tagline going around saying Orwell was 10 years off. well, having lived through that period, and observing what is happening now, I think that tag was wrong.

Orwell was 20 years off in my opinion
Ok, I got off the track in my last posting. Like I said, we have a few dozen tons of laws, all designed to control.

In reality, we only need one. It's been written a few diffrent ways, and called diffrent names. I learned it as the Non-initiation Clause, others call it the NAP or ZAP. regardless, the basic of it is no one has the moral right to iniate force, and it is morally correct to respond with force, if such is iniated against you, or those you are responsible for.

how hard is that to understand? no one has the right to iniate (start) violence (either physically, or via theft), and everyone has the right to resist those who try.

yet so many of those we've sent to rule us can't grasp this simple concept.

one law. one paragraph. thats all we need. hell, it's so simple, some benevolent person, could pay for (forcing others to pay would of course be theft) a wallet sized card for every person in the world to have one, and the combined weight of every card would still weigh less than a tenth of what our current laws do.

More does not equal simple.
In this country, we have a few dozen tons of laws. that is we have a few dozen ton, if we scan everything, and put it on dvd's before compressing it. in their natural state, our lawbooks outweigh most of Washington DC. This is out ragious. It's bad enough we have to suffer through laws, but despite what our benovolent masters tell us, laws have only one purpose. To create criminals. A government cannot control the lawabiding, it has nothing upon which to threaten them with. so it makes rule, so many of which it is impossible not to break at least one.

"But I'm not a crook" you cry. Probably not, but your masters must make you think so. you must be made to feel guilty, otherwise they have no hold upon you.

Have you ever gone so much as 1/10 mile over the speed limit? you're a criminal.

When you come to a stop line on the road, do you stop in front of it, on it, or behind it? if your front bumper is anywhere but behind it, you're a criminal.

When crossing at a busy cross walk, have you every accidently stepped outside the lines? You're guilty of jay walking.

Now, it's just not the various police watching us. thanks to ridge and the Ministry of Love, you're neighbors, postman, even your relatives watch like a hawk, eager to appease. thinking that if they throw the wolf a bone every now and then, sooner or later it'll get full, and leave them alone.

What fools they are.

When all is said and done, they can sit back and remember the lines to that song:

"I sold you, and you sold me
Under the swinging chestnut tree"
