Is Change Good?

Senator Obama has been talking about change. Is this change he speaks of good or bad for America's future? To answer that let me digress a bit to provide some insight into who Senator Obama is.
First of all, Democrats and Republicans are two peas of the same pod. They both reside on the left side of the pond. They both bless the Central Banks. They both bless the Federal Reserve. They both approved the bailout of failing financial institutions. They both approved of the nationalization of insurance through AIG. They both approve of Supply Side Voo Doo economics. Keynesian theories that have destroyed our economy is their mainstay. They both refuse to recognize the science of economics: Economics is the science of scarcity.
So what does that mean? It means that we have limited resources. It means that the printing presses that produce the paper money that we depend upon as a measurement of our wealth ignore the scarcity part of the equation.
Our Republican Party forgot what limited government means. Our Democratic Party forgot what conservative means. They have moved so far left that I can't tell the difference between them and socialism. In fact, they both (the Democratic and Republican Parties) have shifted so far left that it may be time to rename our country to the United Socialist Republic of America.
What they forgot is that the U.S.A. is not a democracy; rather it is a Republic. It is guided by a Constitution. That Constitution protects the property rights of its citizens. It also guarantees our Right to Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness.
Senator Obama talks about change. Does that change he talks about require the use of force to implement? Will this change he talks about further protect our property rights? Will these changes further protect our Right to Life? Will these changes make us more equal under the law? Will the cost of implementing his ideas be shared equally? Will it be paid voluntarily or will he need to use force to collect the money to pay for it? Does his ideas meet with the limitation placed upon our government by our Constitution? If yes, then do you believe that our Constitution is a living breathing thing that can, like elastic, change its shape and meaning according to the times? It is time that I begin to answer some of those questions.
History has proven that since the beginning of time people were either forced to live under the power and control of other people through governments or chose through their voice which we call voting a government that eventually swallowed the people up whole as they (the government) eventually took total control of their lives, liberty and pursuit of happiness. These governments had ideas and plans that differed from other people's governments. Soon the governments grouped together and separated themselves from others. Tensions mounted as each group wanted what the other had. Wars became necessary. The cycle of time changed nothing as they continued to think as they always had and more wars erupted.
We just left the bloodies century in recorded history. If we continue to think as we always have we will continue to get what we always have. Our history has proven that we cannot continue to think as we always have.
So how do we make change? If we understand that question, then we can answer the first question I ask. Is change good? Based upon what we've covered so far, I believe that it is safe to say that the majority, having followed me up to this point will agree that change, at this time, is necessary. What we haven't come to agreement upon is what change is necessary to reverse the circle of violence which we have created upon this earth.
One thing is for certain: "If we continue to think as we always have, we will continue to get what we have always cultivated'.
It is time in this discussion to insert a clue: "Force is the root of all evil".
Do you still believe that "Money is the root of all evil"? Allow me to disprove that misperception of reality. Money is a commodity. It can be used for good or evil. It is the use of force that converts the commodity from its neutral state to one of force. Force, is the root of all evil.
So what implication does this have on this discussion today? Read on.
I've expressed the concern that our 2-Party System have lost their way. They have led us down the path of death and destruction through their chronic warring. They have also created an economic system that has converted this great country from one of great wealth to one of great debt. The system they support is responsible for putting our country into a state of chronic inflation. I can see nothing good about these changes that they have brought us. I see a need for permanent change. It is not the change that President Elect Obama suggest.
So what type of change do you think we need to make? Let me make it simple for you. We need to move from a government that is empowered to use force at the President and Congress's whim to an occassion that results as retaliation or at a moment needed to protect this nation. It needs to be limited to the protection of our nation. And it needs to recognize that 'Force is the root of all evil". How do we do that? By Amending our Constitution with these words:
"No person, group, organization, or country can force any other person, group, organization or country". I placed that in quotes because it is a quote. Look at the Libertarian Platform. It is also a quote from my book "Let Liberty Shine!". We need to add "and there will be no changes, alterations, or Amendments to the above.
Human beings are brutes. We've proven that in the past and are still proving it today. So how do we tame these brutes. By all agreeing to include the above Amendment into our Constitutions. If you do not have a constitution; then, it is time you create one. We must prevent big governments from becoming so callous that they can declare war when it is convenient to them.
If we can achieve this simple change, we can begin a peaceful time where 'Eternal Peace' becomes a possibility.
Join me in my quest to change the way that we think. It is the only solution. It is the only acceptable change. Now you should know the answer to my first question. Is change good?
