Simple Solution 1: “Randomly sterilize 50% of the world’s population.” In a world filled with simple solutions born of illogical precepts — any logical solution that undercuts the foundations of self-interest and gain is unacceptable. After all, what reason could be great enough to enact equitable, across-the-board policies that would end so much of the pain, suffering, and death in the world? It’s ridiculous; don’t you realize what a negative effect this would have on corporations, and non-profits – and on governments whose power and privilege are based on manipulating want and need.

“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – “Farm Harm” Gameboard
“Farm Harm” is a game where you are constantly moving forward, and moving backward; but never getting anywhere — like the mothers in “Ikiru”: passing from one section to another and ending up back where you started. That’s if you use the Bureaucrat’s Rules – if you change the rules; you can change the outcome.
“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – “No one left behind.” Except . . . Bumper sticker
“No one left behind.” Except the elderly, those living in rural areas, and anyone of the wrong race, gender, or ethnicity. Like the “people beloved” titles of dictators; the titles of our government’s policies, and policy actions, are a mockery of human freedom and worth — a lie that remains unexposed out of fear.
The most blatant discriminatory actions are carried out while claiming that “discrimination is against the law” – and with a “diversity” that speaks, not to ethnic mix; but to ethnic purity.
It used to be said that an elephant was a mouse “built to government specifications” — it can now be said that our government’s social policies are: “discrimination in pursuit of a goal – that would have already been reached if they had not enacted those policies.”
“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – “You’re not playing the System . . .” Bumper sticker
“You’re not playing the System; the System is playing you.” Like all good hustlers – politicians coax their marks into wagering it all – and then they run the table.
You’ve given them the power: so they can give you what they promised – or not. It’s their choice. Is there a term for “street stupid”?
“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – “Form Based Codes are for Authority” Bumper sticker
“Form Based Codes are for Authority. Behavior Based Codes are for Humanity. Which one will Politicians choose?” Do you need to ask? They’ve already shown us their choice.
We are living in a society that is at odds with our knowledge of humanity and dignity. Everything that is natural in human interaction and community can only be achieved through the permission and intervention of Authority.
Those who support the power to discriminate against any of us; are those remove the freedom from all of us.
“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – “Honesty may be the best policy” Bumper sticker
“Honesty may be the best policy – But it was never enacted by Congress.” With all the transparency of a transparent liar – our government leaders say whatever it takes to get their plans approved.
While every court show warns of the dangers of cosigning a loan – Congressional leaders forge our names on every credit acquisition scheme they can think of — and lead us by throwing the first stone. . . and getting in the first lifeboat.
“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – “You live and you learn” Bumper sticker
“You live and you learn. You learn and you live.” There’s more than a symmetry to this pair – there’s a utility: Learning means survival. So it’s important to learn from your living; and not just from what you are taught. Although, “A little learning is a dangerous thing.” Learning that a flame can burn; may stop you from learning that a flame can give warmth and illumination.
What does this mean? No matter what you’re given, and no matter what you’ve learned – you can still fuck things up. That’s us.
“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – “Discrimination is the infection” Bumper sticker
“You can’t heal the wound until you stop the infection. Discrimination is the infection.” You might as well pull yourself up by your bootstraps; as end discrimination by a policy of discrimination — so what’s in it for government? Unstoppable power and privilege.
The evilly sharp wedge of the “greater good” excuse has prized open the door – leaving society unprotected to this New Millennium Predation. Gender, Race, and Ethnicity has become the all-important reason and aim of everything – a doctrine of profit, privilege and hate.
The end may not justify the means: but the means, more often than not, preordains the end.
“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – “Slaves & Drugs” Bumper sticker
“Slaves & Drugs: It’s not just those who buy them; it’s those who supply them.” Many of today’s policy decisions are presented with isolated “facts” to obfuscate the actual historical situation. Full Disclosure – Full Exposure of all government policies and statistics is the only “level field” that will ensure our freedom.
“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – “Rise of the Evil Ones” – “Lossy Government”
Lossy Government strips out whatever it regards as either unnecessary or redundant – it is capable of reaching decisions without help.
People have become the objects of government; not the participants.
