What people continue to fail to realize is that on both sides of almost every issue, we are ceding control to a entralized power for everything in our lives.
That never ends good.
First they came for.......
The thing people dont realize is that almost every if not all legislation is crafted ahead of time with the votes in hand, be it the people, the epa, city government to incrementally in the smallest increment necessary, is to take away freedom.
Each law is crafted so that whoever is giving up freedom that they are portrayed as extremests and dire circumstances will occur if their behavior is not regulated.
Almost every time this will be portrayed as a guarantee, and if the guarantee, penalties will occur. This requires more infastructure to write laws, enforce them, requiring more taxes and more laws to generate more revenue by making it impossible to exist without breaking a law leading to selective enforcement and ruin if selected due to speaking out about this.
It appears to me, the vast majority of people will never figure this out, and with each incremental elimination of freedom, there will one day, a critical mass reached where either or both the entire thing will fall under its own weight and there will be anarchy. I am not aware of a single incidence in history where this has not occurred.
Hence the following theory.
Man can not reverse course to move forward towards more freedom without violence.

It was about what a sorry piece of a human being XBAR is as evidenced by his posts about the ranchers losing their cattle in South Dakota. It was relating him to Kinky Friedman, another Texas blowhard who just says whatever he thinks will garner him the most attention. That's what XBar does. What ever he thinks will get you people to respond to him is what he says. If you'd quit, and make him play by himself, he'd go away. He's like a toddler whining for attention. He contributes nothing of value to any topic.
