is so important to the ability to lead a political structure to be almost a requirement,
I make no apology for instilling into the kids fear of disobeying the parents.
As an Individualist, I advocate that each citizen
look down with healthy
scorn upon his creation, his employee, government.
When we created the damned thing,
we did not make the choice to make it the object of our own
fear,
as we do when we buy tickets to a horror movie.
The damned thing is employed by
US.
IT works for us; we do not work for
IT.
It is because of our forgetfullness of this fact
and our unconscious adoption of the idea that government is the boss,
that our grandchildren are condemned to eternal slavery as the Borg.
It is inevitable; only a matter of time.
(The reason that it has not happened
YET is that it has been
IMPOSSIBLE,
for lack of sufficient technology.)
Thay have already begun filling the world with photographic cameras
linked to government and thay have begun satellite surveillance
which is destined only to become ever more accurate & precise.
We need not even bring up extant facial recognition software
linked up to the pervasive cameras.
Everyone thinks this is just fine n dandy.
To this u add your advocacy of fear!
My natural (almost reflexive) inclination is to take cognizance
that a kid who has been violently attacked by a parent may well choose
to
avenge himself, but I know that in some cases,
a parent might be driven by
desperation to violently attack,
if the kid 's infractions have been sufficiently
egregious
(e.g., burning the house down, etc., etc.).
Its really a wonderful thing to
not need
to become involved in decisions like that, nor their unwelcome drama.
