RE: Good Intentions + Politics = Evil Crap
I love reading truth like this, while at the same time, my stomach churns over how most people are so ignorant that they don't get this. Every person who reaches the age of mental maturity should know better than to simply conform. They have minds they don't use. They never question any of their upbringing, and consequently remain children their entire lives, passing on to their children what their parents taught them. Hence, the cycle continues and spreads.
I'm convinced that if people would just question what they were taught as children and seek the truth, the world would transform into a better place almost over night.
Sure, "...if people would just question..." at any and all ages. But they don't. I know. I am observant. I grew up thinking I was of another species. I saw no questioning, until in my twenties, when I discovered Ayn Rand. At 4 I questioned, then investigated the Santa Myth, even though my parents insisted Santa was real. I didn't believe the Tooth Fairy Myth. At 8 I questioned the god superstition, and found it unacceptable, even repugnant to my sovereignty. I was all alone. No one did as I did. But it was automatic with me, it was "the way I was born". I had two loves, before puberty: 1. Math. 2. Chess. I did not understand why people didn't love the integrity of mathematics. It is perfect.
At 12(1954), I concluded that govt. was a gang, just like the gangs in my ghetto, with no morality or justification.
