Rayn: “The only difference between the Republican and Democratic parties is the velocities with which their knees hit the floor when corporations knock on their door. That’s the only difference.” – Ralph Nader
Claudia C.: Nice Rayn!
As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork, being shared by an acquaintance from here, and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…
“I’m fighting so hard to shut down Guantanamo Bay; so hard, in fact, that we’re gonna upgrade it! (The Telegraph: ‘Pentagon plans $40m fiber optic cable from Guantanamo Bay to US mainland’)”
My Commentary: Ignorance is strength!

The following correspondence originally took place upon my Facebook wall, after I posted artwork being shared by the page, “We’re Getting Robbed“…
Rayn: “I AM free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them obnoxious, I break them. I am because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.” – Robert Heinlein
Andy H.: He is my FAVOURITE speculative author! Groovy!
Rayn: Skillz!
Brian J.: That is true. At least until a car runs into you! Lol!
Brian J.: Go see “No Country For Old Men.”
The following debate originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “Good Ideas Don’t Require Force!“…
Rayn: Apparently, the authoritarians among us will continue to arrogantly force their “great ideas” upon us, because REASON and CONSENT are not as important to them as BLIND FAITH and COMPLIANCE!
It’s time for Individuals to wake up, and reject ALL FORMS OF COERCION as illegitimate!
“Good ideas don’t require force”
Jonas A.: That’s right! No “brown” nosing to get us to work for free! 😛
Brian K.: That assumes most people would be smart enough to recognize the good ideas.
“We must view with profound respect the infinite capacity of the human mind to resist the introduction of useful knowledge.”

Genaire: Brian how would we measure ones intelligence… an iq test? I know several people that would do extremely well on an iq test yet would be unable to survive without the aide of others. I also know several people in school that consider themselves to be very intelligent yet have not tested this intelligence outside the sheltered environment of a classroom. Then one has to ask himself what overlord would one place in charge of determining this said intelligence the government? I know of governments that deemed unintelligent people worthy of extermination. In a free society however one does not have to worry themself about those arrogant few who deem themselves intelligent enough to decide what a good or bad idea may or may not be.
