The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “Circular Reasoning: College Edition“…

Rayn: 

"Why should I go to college?" "So you can get a degree?" "Why?" "So you can get a job." "Why?" "So you can make more money." "Why?" "So you can pay back your college loans."

“Why should I go to college?” “So you can get a degree?” “Why?” “So you can get a job.” “Why?” “So you can make more money.” “Why?” “So you can pay back your college loans.”

Teonanacatl K.: It’s not what you go for college for. It’s what you do with the degree you achieve.

Rayn: This comic ironically addresses the question, “why?” To ask “what?” is whole different story. 🙂

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by peace activist, Cindy Sheehan, and promptly shared it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"It cuts both ways: 'If you're not doing anything bad, you have no reason to fear government censorship.' 'If you're doing anything bad, you have no reason to fear free speech.' "

“It cuts both ways: ‘If you’re not doing anything bad, you have no reason to fear government censorship.’ ‘If you’re doing anything bad, you have no reason to fear free speech.’ “

My Commentary: Critical thinking: the original check and balance!

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Voluntaryism,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"UTOPIA: Believing that people can best run their own lives is the position of the realist. Believing that people, whom you've likely never met, can best run the lives of others is the position of the starry-eyed dreamer"

“UTOPIA: Believing that people can best run their own lives is the position of the realist. Believing that people, whom you’ve likely never met, can best run the lives of others is the position of the starry-eyed dreamer”

My Commentary: Face it: Centralized government is obsolete! It is TOP-HEAVY with criminals, running our lives into the ground for their own personal gain! It’s time to unlock the power of LIFE in LIBERTY through LOVE in EQUALITY! Embrace the LOGIC of Individual Sovereignty, The Non-Aggression Principle and Voluntaryism. Human symbiosis and Synergy, for the win!
