There is no Rousseau writing tracts to guide the unwashed.<br /><br />Rather, this is a movement of denial. Denial of votes, of money, of support. Of legitimacy. A government that derives it's legitamcy from the consent of the governed, will fall when that consent is withdrawn. The people don't need a leader to do that.<br /><br />People see the coruption, the rigged elections, the false choices, and withdraw. Each withdrawal is a victory. It is unstoppable.<br /><br />This is just a start, and may very well be funded by Republican funny money. But the Republicans may be creating something that will get out of their control.Xiaodinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00239287510764217450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116360.post-8484549833046398982009-10-17T07:05:01.477-07:002009-10-17T07:05:01.477-07:00All people need for ever increasing prosperity is ...All people need for ever increasing prosperity is peace, private property, rule of law and freedom to contract.

What we want is for the government ...Wrong, Howard. What we want is for the government to keep its dirty hands out of any more stuff than it is already screwing up. To quote PJ O'Rourke, "If you think healthcare costs a lot now, wait until you see what it costs when it's "free.""<br /><br />Government does damned little well and absolutely NOTHING efficiently.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
