Preserving Our Way Of Life

Whatever that means... but it is a common argument from people who support wars, that wars are necessary to preserve our way of life.

This is very strange.  I do not think I have ever met anyone, anywhere on earth, who desires to preserve his way of life.  Everyone wants change.  The hapless democrats voted in "change" (they thought) last election.  The republicans rejoice with the mid-term elections they will get change.

Just what is it in "our way of life" is one supposed to preserve?  Torture?  Suspension of habeas corpus?  The incarceration state? Rewarding bad management with bailouts of failing industry? Pre-emptive, unnecessary wars?  3500 abortions a day? Bad educational outcomes?  Election fraud?  Identity papers, please?  Racism? Our ersatz religious expression?  Malinvestment in housing?  Judges granting every warrant presented to them?  Warrantless searches? I cannot think of anything I'd like to see stay the same.

Roads?  I don't want to preserve roads.  I want to see them gone, and the oil burners on them.  MagLev is the answer, but it will not happen in USA, we are indebted to autos and oil. Look to Communist China for change, they have maglev. I think if we were free to make changes, we would have no roads. We would have something better.

Perhaps what is meant is that we should preserve our freedom to make changes.  But we do not have any such freedom.  True-believer democrats are discovering that, finally, right now.  Election fraud is material in USA, we are 3rd world status in that regard.  Change, or innovation, comes from small business, and the policy of the government is "get big or get out."    Every day is kristallnacht for USA small businesses.  This is not an overstatement.  The rate at which government regulation kills businesses in USA is far higher than what one night's riots could accomplish.  Since hitler, fascism has learned, slow cooking is best.  Heat up the pot with the frog slowly, so he does not quite get what is going on.  With more people working for government than making things in USA, government smashes innovation faster that the few who try can advance anything good.

The FDA alone is busy crushing any small business that would provide healthy dairy products, in Missouri, and Washington, and California, and many other places.  It's like the false child abuse cases rampant in the 1990s:  the feds offer local enforcement big money to destroy families, and the local enforement wants the money to keep their departments flush with cash.  It is about bigbiz/biggovt.  It's the DEA and Waco on and on.  Every agency is striving to makes itself relevant by false charges.  And one remarkable phenomena is the websites put up by consumers protesting the denial of good food are at once overwhelmed by government workers mocking and sneering at those who would buy good food.

Preserve our Way of Life?  No one wants that, everyone wants change.  The problem is, the system allows no important changes.
