Liberty and Responsibility

So the Philly Squakers eliminated the forty whiners from the playoffs.

Unfortunate, but that is how the ball bounces.

 

 

I’m not going to start dumpster fires over it.

I’m not going to start a riot over it.

I’m not going to overthrow the government over it.

 

Maybe I should?

I mean it’s my libertarian right to do whatever I want in the name of freedom, right?

Oh… but that freedom of mine shouldn’t infringe upon the rights of others. Yeah, that’s a bit of sticky morality there. Aren’t my beliefs about THING more important than your ability to do THING?

 

in 2012 or so, during Mit Romney’s presidential run, he kept saying this about people not needing government and building great things. LINK NPR

So was this great builder also responsible for the roads and power grid that empowered this person to BUILD THAT THING?

No? Was it some nasty government regulation that made it available for the masses at an affordable price?

Last I checked, Corporations are all about ignoring profits and giving out as much as they take in, that’s called corporate symbiotics and it runs rampant disease throughout capitalistic societies.

 

Maybe, just maybe, we should also outlaw traffic lights? Who needs those pesky stop signs and speed limits around nursing homes and elementary schools? Those are not my family members so what do I care? I’m sure that if we abolished these annoying rules and regulations, the productivity and profits of funeral homes would begin skyrocketing.

Isn’t that how a free market works?

My personal liberty over the needs of our fellow citizens?

 

Just saying…

 

 

 

 

Okay, I’ve got to cut this short. Got some errands to run.

Tootles all

😛
