Bob replies:
When the State takes over family functions, it destroys the family. Just
because Intellect is dominant over Society (in other words, ideas are
what ultimately runs society--as James Burnham put it, "ideas have
consequences) does not mean intellectuals should run society. Since the
advent of the 'professional intellectual' about 200 years ago their
ideas have been an overwhelming castatrophe. Almost everyone of them has
been liberal/leftist/Marxist. They support biological values that are
against society.
>Liberals are convinced that the solution is to ban guns,
Bob replies:
Won't do a bit of good. It's a violation of people's property rights and
leaves them unarmed against biological criminals, who, by definition,
don't follows laws.

Bob replies:
Exactly right. Liberal/socialists support biological values against
society and don't have the slightest idea that they're doing it.

Bob replies:
This also is exactly right. Most are cowards--they stand by while their
opponents destroy society and let biological values run rampamt.

Bob replies:
Much of the problem is massive taxation--again, a violation of property
rights. In a family, almost the whole of a woman's salary is for taxes.
Parents are forced to let tv and video games be the babysitter because
they're too busy working to support the exploiting classes who have
gained control of the State--witness the over a billion dollars that
trial lawyers are getting in their assault against the tobacco
companies. Every cent of it is taxpayer's money.
>Are we doomed, my friends? I don't think so.
Bob replies:
The more we worship the State as God,the more we are doomed.

Bob replies:
I lived next door to two 'welfare mothers.' One had four kids by
different fathers, never had a job, and got more money for every kid she
had. Her little girls, who were starved for male attention, would pin me
on my porch nearly every day and want me to watch them sing and dance.
Her little boy enjoyed torturing cats-- a classic sign of a budding
pyschopath. That's why I wrote that word 'bastard' has two meaning--a
fatherless boy and a cruel, heartless man. The second 'welfare mother'
had four kids by different fathers at the age of 24, never had a job,
never intended to get one, and got more money for every kid she had.
Both were showing biological values, aided and abetted by the State. The
destruction of Society by Biology.
>limits on the number of children per woman (yes, per woman
Bob replies:
This is what the Communist Chinese do. They force women to get
abortions. They strap them down and abort them.

Bop replies:
Intellectually and morally superior 'intellectuals" who believe they
have the arrogant right to shovel people around like lumps of coals
without taking their values into effect. As I have written before, this
idea is a diaster....what Thomas Sowell sneered at as 'the annointed'
deluded with what Hayek called 'the fatal conceit.'
> Ever read Brave New World?
Bob replies:
What happens when 'intellectuals' plan and run societies.
