From: Stebbins, Donald M. (1961) Dear Jasper John, From your responses I can only conclude that you and Curmudgeon are pulling my leg. You can not really believe that anarchy would be good for humankind. I will no longer argue with you, but close with two quotes. Thomas Jefferson: ( Declaration of Independence) "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed...." Thomas Hobbes: (from the Leviathan) "Life in the state of nature is 'solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short' " Sincerely yours, ddstebbins {JR: I can NOT speak for His Royal Highness Curmudgeon, I am NOT pulling your leg. Nor do I seek to
argue with you. IMHO the government (or as I like to call it the “gooferment”)
is not how “we work together”. It’s about someone TELLING someone else what
to do! You think “government is often the best way for us to act in concert
to better our communities”. I politely but firmly disagree. The truly free
market is the “best” way. Who defines “best”? The buyer; not the seller. Even
if you say I should do the defining, I don’t like it. Because tomorrow you
may insist it’s “your turn”. In a free market, everyone gets exactly as much
of a good or service that they are prepared to pay for. They make the trade
off; not some bureaucrat deciding for them. No more; no less. It’s that
amazing market calculus that delivers exactly what we want. I refer you to
Milton Friedman’s lecture on the lowly pencil. The gist is that thousands of
people cooperate to give him a pencil. No one was forced to do it. They were
all motivated to do it by profit. They might not even like each other but
they cooperate. Only the government can force on us crappy services at absurd
prices regardless if we want it or not, and kill us when we object.
Government is force. I would object to anyone forcing you to do anything; I’d
want the same respect extended to all of us. It’s all about perspective. I
think the dead old white guys were geniuses. Flawed, but what an “experiment”.
My quote – prevoked by the word democracy in your
signature is “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for
lunch. |

Sweet are the uses
of adversity, Which like the toad, ugly and venomous, Wears yet a precious
jewel in his head; And this our life, exempt from public haunt, Find tongues
in trees, books in the running brooks, And good in everything. -- William
Shakespeare It’s with a mild chuckle that I watched CIC fjohn68 struggle with his computer problems. Like the proverbial husband watching the plumber, I stayed out of his way. He might have asked me to do something. It’s interesting that out of the struggle comes “Jasper Jottings on WordPress”. It’s a daily Jasper Jottings. I’m quite taken with it. I especially like the Jasper as a rock logo. I’m always fascinated how a warped mind works. Throw a few roadblocks at “our” cic and we wind up with a new better service. Now the question is should he go back and clean up the “ugly issues”? rofl, as fjohn68 would say. |
And that’s the last word.
