well, you know what i realized? i realized that i used to keep up on this thing way better than i do. i would write at least once a month and post pics and everything. speaking of posting pics, i have some of meagan and i when we went to temple square to see the lights. we got some good picutres, not a lot though. we also saw the joseph smith movie in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. it was meagan's first time to see it and we both cried. i love that movie though. fantastic.
i just wanted to give another shout out to the google group that i started. you know, i never really realized what the governments rights were and what kind of power they were actually supposed to have until i actually sat down and read the constitution. we are being played for fools, the vast majority of americans, mostly because we just take it for granted that the government is doing what is in "our", meaning we the citizens, best interest, when in actuality it is in the best interest of those in power, politicians and businessmen alike. our situation is very similiar to, but not as obvious as, the russians during the cold war. after gorbachev resigned and the ussr was through, a more free government, democracy or a republic, which ever you choose, was trying to form. the only way that freedom was ever going to be had in russia, was with a tricky and rather unfortunate necessity of the government selling its many state controlled business to private owners. from the time that gorbachev left office until this happened, there were very few entrepreneurs who actually did well, due to the ever present pressure of communist forces still thriving in russia. it ended up turning their free market and economy into a gangster controller oligarcy, of which they are still suffering from today.
in our situation, the government has done a much better job of putting a pleasing facade ontop of what is actually going on, but it is essentially the same thing. our liberties and our control over our own country and economy is being syphoned slowly and very cleverly away by greedy politicians and big businessmen, who are creating laws to meet their own lusts and keep the entrepreneurs at bay. posted in that group are many articles written by modern day intellectuals who follow after the thoughts and ideas of the greats like von Mises and Hayek. check it out. maybe you will learn something.
