Are there more pressing issues that need to be addressed, like helping americans come to understand how and why they have no National Health Defense initiative to protect them from the vagaries of disease and accidents.
Or would this be a bad time to wonder how exactly we are going to work on preventing the next Massive Hedge Fund Hemorrhaging due to the mere folly of man, and man's blind religious commitment to the Voodoo Economics of the "Rational market will provide"?
Is the real problem that we have not replaced the canon courts, and the true faithing, that is allegedly required to make a mere rule of law work? That ultimately those who opposed the Godless United States Of America Constitution, as, well being godless, and without a National TrueReligious Arbitors Of God's OneTrueWay.... And that this is really the big problem....
Or is there a need to start by restoring the rule of law, then working along with all of these issues, until the illegal detention without right of trial or appeal, is no longer even an acceptable compromise with the devil! And in that state we no longer need to worry about the Torture State, since no person detained by the government would be flushed into some majikal space beyond the reach of the rule of Law....
Hum... what if there were a system by which the young were raised to know certain things, and not abandoned to the whim and vagaries of the market....
This meme is so, well, StarShipTrooper.
What I keep finding amusing is the number of neoCons who love the meme, but are never willing to live with the bouncing rubber ball that they are not the citizens that they so, well, admire.
There is also the problem that if we limit the notion of 'service' to merely armed forces, the failure rate gets seriously unpleasant.
What is the hardest part is that there are so many former american armed forces personnel who still remember a time when service in the american armed forces WAS connected to the idea, and ideal, that the american armed forces were a 'citizens military' - and not merely contract murderers of a welfare state....
The cool trick is to sound like one wants the american armed forces to be percieved in some patriotic and nationalistic mode, while at the same time, still happy about the fact that it too is still a part of the whole failed socialist system, and that those who volunteered, well, they knew what they were getting into, and that it is an extreme sport, and they have no leg to stand on, if they let that leg get blown off by an IMD...
So yes, sometimes cognitive dissonance is more important if it gets the short cut in the limbic system working well enough... You know, so that folks understand the importance of the correct Knee Jerk Reaction....
Hey kids, let us party like it were 1992, again. But this time, thank god, the Republicans in the state of California are going to show that the majik of the state's balanced budget ammendment has been the greatest wonder of majikal thinking since Prop-13 saved the state from the horrors of the state economy being tied to the tragedy of the American Dollar....
So yes, this time, finally, there will be a final solution.
