Să ne dea, să ne faca..

Motto: If being a winner in nature’s struggle for survival is selfish, does being extinct make you an altruist? 


Art 36 din Constituţie: (2) "Nu au drept de vot debilii sau alienaţii mintal, puşi sub interdicţie, şi nici persoanele condamnate, prin hotărâre judecătorească definitivă, la pierderea drepturilor electorale. "


Ar trebui sa fie inclusi si asistatii social. Si bugetarii. Ei nu contribuie cu nimic si ar vota pe cei care i-ar tine in perfuzii si in Wonderland mereu. 

Trebuie sa fii complet nebun sa crezi ca ai dreptul sa votezi si sa-ti dai cu parerea cand tu nu contribui cu nimic, ba mai mult, doar primesti. Chestia asta ar duce automat la o inflatie de promisiuni electorale (ce nu vor fi niciodata indeplinite - evident), care mai de care mai absurda si irealizabila, care in final se va intoarce exact impotriva alegatorului de rand. Prin urmare, astfel de idioti (atarnatorii de care vorbeam mai sus) n-ar trebui sa aiba drept de vot nici azi, in conditiile legii de acum. Insa cine sa o aplice. Dar cine sa inteleaga..



Cand primesti un cadou nu ai nici un drept sa pui conditii ci numai sa-l refuzi. "Drepturile pozitive" sunt o poveste pentru adormit copii sau socialisti ce au impresia ca o nevoie poate sta la baza unui drept. Ciudat e cum toti se mira ca aceste "nobile idealuri" se termina de absolut fiecare data, in dezastru..





Normal ar fi ca oricine isi da cu parerea sa o faca pe banii lui. Ca la poker: pui banii pe masa, vorbesti. Nu pui banii, nu risti nimic, atunci asta e. Si la revedere.



Altfel ajugem inevitabil sa facem "Bine cu forta" sau "We must FORCE the people to be FREE!" - Louis Antoine Léon de Saint-Just 1789 France (a murit decapitat 5 ani mai tarziu), care stim prea bine unde a dus..






Update decembrie 2012: daca esti asistat sau condamnat penal nu ar trebui sa nu poti nici candida. În Parlament au fost votati 27 de condamnaţi, arestaţi, incompatibili şi cercetaţi penal.

Niall Ferguson: Empires on the Edge of Chaos



"Sometime over the next decade the US will reach the crossover point at which it will be spending more on debt service, than it is able to spend on defense..."

Throughout history the rise and fall of empires isn't slow or cyclical, as we like to think, but arrhythmic...it mostly happens very, very suddenly. America is a superpower on the edge of chaos, according to economic historian and author Niall Ferguson. US debt levels, he says, and its unwillingness to address the problem, has put it in the same category as other great empires which have collapsed throughout the ages.

Ferguson argues the world is changing. There's the rise of authoritarian China as a super-power; a Keynesian president leading a weakened United States; the re-emergence of democratic India as a great power; the continued decline of Japan; and the probability of continued global economic instability ahead.

Is the rise and fall of empires cyclical or arrhythmic? How does economic profligacy - whether the result of arrogance or naivety - contribute to the downfall of civilisations? Not to be missed, the address will offer a timely review of primacy, leadership, and the complex factors behind the rise and fall of great powers and civilisations.


Niall Ferguson delivered the annual John Bonython Lecture as guest of the Centre for Independent Studies in Sydney.
