life in our theocracy

Associated Press: More Americans Say They Have No Religion.

I submit that they missed the religion of Marx.

Let's forgo the economics -- the science that explains cause and effect -- and instead we'll embrace "change we can believe in."  Faith required.  Nope, no religion there.

No matter how many illiterates once believed the world was flat, it was still round; their beliefs did not make it any flatter.  Popular widespread ignorance is still ignorance, even when it controls the guns. 

Supply and demand work the same way.  If those with the guns want the people to live by a religious belief that supply and demand do not exist, then they are forcing the people to choose between death by guns or death by supply and demand.  You can deny reality, but you still feel its effects.

I don't want change I can believe in.  I want change that works.  And if too many people believe in something that doesn't work, then that's not a policy problem -- it's an education problem.

Going back to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, government is about protecting those who succeed by doing what works from those who live in poverty because they don't understand what works.  That is why leaders swear to uphold the Constitution rather than the will of the majority.  That is why we let the government have guns.

And when ignorance reaches a critical mass and rises to power -- well, that is why we let the people have guns, isn't it?

That's the John Galt Line.
