Micro Secession

Quotation below from Leopold Kohr's most seminal work The Breakdown of Nations.

"WHENEVER SOMETHINGS IS WRONG, SOMETHING IS TOO BIG."

As the physicists of our time have tried to elaborate an integrated single theory, capable of explaining not only some but all phenomena of the physical universe, so I have tried on a different plane to develop a single theory through which not only some but all phenomena of the social universe can be reduced to a common denominator. The result is a new and unified political philosophy centering on the theory of size. It suggests that there seems only one cause behind all forms of social misery: bigness...

There seems to be only one cause behind all forms of social misery: bigness. Oversimplified as this may seem, we shall find the idea more easily acceptable if we consider that bigness, or oversize, is really much more than just a social problem. It appears to be the one and only problem permeating all creation.Whenever something is wrong, something is too big. And if the body of a people becomes diseased with the fever of aggression, brutality, collectivism, or massive idiocy, it is not because it has fallen victim to bad leadership or mental derangement. It is because human beings, so charming as individuals or in small aggregations have been welded onto overconcentrated social units. That is when they begin to slide into uncontrollable catastrophe. For social problems, to paraphrase the population doctrine of Thomas Malthus, have the unfortunate tendency to grow at a geometric ratio with the growth of the organism of which they are part, while the ability of man to cope with them, if it can be extended at all, grows only at an arithmetic ratio. Which means that, if a society grows beyond its optimum size, its problems must eventually outrun the growth of those human faculties which are necessary for dealing with them.

Hence it is always bigness, and only bigness, which is the problem of existence. The problem is not to grow but to stop growing; the answer: not union but division.

Fourth Generation Theory

I suggest all of us research Fourth Generation Theory. I have a feeling we are headed that direction sooner rather than later.

Ancestors

I am in the final stages of writing a memoir on my 40 year odyssey to find my people in Ireland and Scotland, a successful odyssey I should add. All made possible through Y chromosome DNA testing and many hours of research in the primary source records of Argyll and Ireland. It is absolutely amazing how genetic genealogy allows one to search one's past, recover lost family history, locate your cousins on the other side of the water. My story is a Gaelic one, Gaels from Kilmichael Glassary in Argyll, who moved to Ireland in the 1500s, and then to the Colonies in 1718.

It was a long journey and a good one. I learned Gaelic along the way, have travelled many times across the sea to the homelands of the Gael. It has been very satisfying reconnected with distant cousins in Ireland and Scotland.

Newt Gingrich and Dick Cheney are insane?

Newt Gingrich and Dick Cheney, are they insane? Let's see, Newt Gingrich endorsed Scozzafava, a radical leftist, in her run for Congress and Dick Cheney endorsed Kay Bailey Hutchison in her disgraceful bid to unseat the very successful Governor Rick Perry. The mind boggles, as in is it even possible to be that out of touch with conservatives in American. What were those two Jaybirds thinking about?

There are other aspects of this very queer state of affairs. The bombastic White House complains about Fox News, complaining they are spokesmen for the 'Republican' party. They are seemingly totally unaware that an increasing number of real Americans see the Republicans as the problem, nearly as odious as the Socialist in power. Bush and Cheney exploded government spending, implemented many socialist programs, let the third world invade us, they differ from Obama only in degree. Fox News is certainly no friend of conservatives and do their utmost to marginalise Ron Paul and others of his ilk. A very queer state of affairs.

There is such a profound disconnect, lake of awareness, etc., to the actual political feelings of Real America, by both parties, as I say, it boggles to the mind. The traditional thought here in Anglo-Celtic America is that the Republicans are the Stupid Party and the Democrats are the Evil Party, and that seems to increasingly true. However, Dumb and Dumber might be a more appropriate way to describe these to blights upon our country.

The Democrats, socialist as they are, at least have leadership. There is no keel, rudder, nor helm on the Republican ship. I've been news-fasting again, I just can't take it anymore. I'll listen to Ron Paul and Sarah, when I need a dose of reality. Ron Paul should be our president, he's the only lad with gumption on the national political scene.

All this does not bode well. I have a feeling that we have a Singularity looming toward us.

However in the real word, it is a beautiful day here in the wooded hills of north Mississippi. Not all is well, the deer wiped out my collards in two successive raids, proving that they are Rats with Antlers. Advent approaches, and I intend to live a good life.

Government Run Health Care? No Thanks

Rush Limbaugh and Pro Football

I do not listen to talk radio much, so understandably I am not a huge fan of Rush Limbaugh. When I have heard him, he seems ok and does point out in a humorous way some of the sheer idiocy of the socialist in America. That's my preamble to comments on the Establishment Media's 'outrage' over him trying to buy part of an abysmal pro football team, the St Louis Rams.

The Knownothings were calling Herr Limbaugh a racist and generally unsavory character and wanted him banned from the pro football cabal. The charges totally untrue and just lies and typical political character attacks, but that aspect has little to do with reality of the situation.

The Knownothings, i.e. the Establishment Media and their hounds, operate in complete ignorance of the political paradigm shift which is ongoing in American, especially in the real America. The Knownothings think that Rush Limbaugh is a 'conservative' and attack him on those grounds. Well, you see it is like this, there was a break between conservatives and the Republicans several years ago. Wake up fellows, you are stuck on stupid. Conservatives have no love of Limbaugh, but we do realise he's being unfairly attacked.

Rush Limbaugh is a Republican, not a conservative. But, I digress. The Socialist powers have banned Herr Limbaugh from participation in pro football ownership. Big bloody deal, let's face it pro football is becoming a collection of the very worst of our society. The games have taken on the look and feel of inner city gang warfare and then you have the players themselves. An increasing number of them are psychopaths and or ex-cons (or worse). You have the likes of a Michael Vick and a George Soros involved in pro football, yet, the Powers-that-be in the National Football League are uncomfortable with Rush Limbaugh, a man who talks on the radio with neo con Republican opinions, that is his crime! The Quantum Weirdness continues.

I stopped watching pro football several years ago. I love not watching, like a burden off my shoulders. With this new block of free time I do other things now, cut firewood, spend time with my sons, learn Spanish. It's great. I recommend it highly. Just stop watching the stupid, increasingly perverted, football games. Pro football is not the game it was, it has changed into something unwholesome and unsavory, it is descending into gangsterism. Your wife, your children, your dog, even that cat of yours will love you more and thank you if you just say NO to pro football. A good time to Give It Up.

Obama Wins Music Award

Obama Named Country Music Entertainer of the Year

Surprise Selection Shocks Nashville

NASHVILLE - President Barack Obama stunned the country music world today by picking up its highest honor, Country Music Entertainer of the Year.

Mr. Obama was chosen unanimously, according to the Country Music Association, beating out such favorite as Carrie Underwood and Toby Keith.

In Nashville, country music insiders were shocked by Mr. Obama's selection, given that he has only been in office for eight months and during that time has yet to record a single country song.

But Mr. Obama was gracious in receiving the honor, saying that he was "honored and humbled" by the award before excusing himself to accept this year's Heisman Trophy.

Health Care Bill

This sums it up very well I thought, it is a letter from an emergency room worker that appeared in a Jackson, Mississippi, newspaper. It is the real issue.


Dear Sirs:

During my last night's shift in the ER, I had the pleasure of evaluating a patient with a shiny new gold tooth, multiple elaborate tattoos, a very expensive brand of tennis shoes and a new cellular telephone equipped with her favorite R&B tune for a ringtone. Glancing over the chart, one could not help noticing her payer status: Medicaid. She smokes more than one costly pack of cigarettes every day and, somehow, still has money to buy beer.

And our Congress expects me to pay for this woman's health care? Our nation's health care crisis is not a shortage of quality hospitals, doctors or nurses. It is a crisis of culture, a culture in which it is perfectly acceptable to spend money on vices while refusing to take care of one's self or, heaven forbid, purchase health insurance. It is a culture that thinks "I can do whatever I want to because someone else will always take care of me". Life is really not that hard. Most of us reap what we sow.

Don't you agree?

Obama and the Noble Peace Price

Crackpots, moonbats, miscreants, and the Noble Peace Price. Awarding Obama for his groveling I suppose. Quantum Insanity. One friend told me that when she heard the news that she wonder if it was possible to laugh hysterically and vomit at the same time. Are Norwegians this stupid? Is there no testosterone in Norway?

This is dark comedy at its very best. What a load of manure.

I read several excellent headlines proclaiming this dark news... the best was:

Godless Euroweenies Award Nobel to The Chosen One, but is Barack Obama Really Jesus Christ?

pretty much sums it up, eh? I am curious if Euroweenies really know the level of gooberheadedness that they have achieved? Goobers of the first pressing.

Obama and Freedom

I found this circa late 1940s film clip posted on the internet, labeled an 'anti-fascist' film by the poster, but it really an anti-socialist film, you will notice Stalin in the early frames of the film. Amazing how similar the film's theme is to Obama's socialist vision for our Republic.

Duck Commander

I happened upon the Duck Commander show by accident, just channel surfing as they say. It immediately became my favourite program on the TV. It was just nice to hear north Louisiana folk talk, but the wit and wisdom of the Duck Commanders and their friends I really enjoy. Robertson, probably a Scots-Irish family come to think of it. I grew up in north Louisiana, spent many, many, hours duck hunting. It is a cosmic experience, they get it.

MUSE

One of the advantages of having children that range in age from 38 to 15 is interesting input and insights into the continuum. My 15 year old does not listen to much contemporary music, he prefers Beatles..., but he does listen to a couple of current British bands, one of these is Muse. I have been impressed with several of their songs. Good writing, nice playing, good lyrics and in the song below, they hit the nail on the head.
