National Defense

The main thing causing the erosion of liberty in the occupied land formerly known as the United States of America is the masses confusion between national defense and law & order.
“A standing army is always dangerous to liberty,” we are told.
However, most people who are willing to concede that fact don’t know why a standing army threatens liberty.
In times of peace there should be no standing army. Instead everyone old enough to handle a gun should be trained to use it. Thus, the individual will be able to defend himself from most acts of aggression. Gun ownership must be mandatory. This and the enforcement of contracts is the only reason governments should exist.
But how does a standing army turn against liberty?

York County steps in crap again
by Maddog on Jun.04, 2009, under News, Politics
Last week I first read about a concerted push for an increase in the hotel tax in York County from 3 percent to 5 percent. I talked about it in my podcast.
It turns out the BS is deeper than I thought.
Two of the three York County commissioners voted to spend $40,000 of tax money on a tourism ad promoting York County. Then I find out the $40,000 was part of a $50,000 ad proposed by John Riggle, who happens to own a marketing firm. Mr Riggle allegedly contributed $2,000 toward the ad, with the remaining $8,000 coming from the York County Economic Development Corp.
The ad ran on TV and radio in May, and it contained a toll free number. Now you think that is bad enough?

The 3rd circuit court of appeals in Philadelphia, ruled against reading pages from a bible in class.
An article can be found on Law.com
Now here is what grabbed my attention: “Writing for the court, 3rd Circuit Chief Judge Anthony J. Scirica said “parents of public school kindergarten students may reasonably expect their children will not become captive audiences to an adult’s reading of religious texts.”
When parents participate in an elementary school’s curricular activities, Scirica said, school officials have the right to require that the parents refrain from promoting specific messages in class.”

Chain of events in motion
by Maddog on Jun.02, 2009, under News
I’ve always believed that there is no such thing as motion without cause.
It never ceases to amaze me how everything I do, even the small things have an effect on the world around me.
Example: Yesterday I approved the first comment from moderation on my blog in this article. Previous comments were either spam or just plain unacceptable.
That is how I found this really cool site: Naturally Good Magazine.
I spent hours reading articles, listening to The Health Wyze Report (their podcast), and reading some great blog post in their blog section. (continue reading…)
