  • If the good guys get in power, they’re gonna have to make a lot of decisions. And right now there seem to be two camps within the right who have very different instincts. Let's get some guidance from GK Chesterton's essay "On Mending and Ending Things" along with the famous concept of "Chesterton's Fence."

      As a guy who is a lightweight in intellect, Chesterton has been invaluable for me. He has such a knack for bringing out points and ideas I never would have been able to articulate well.
      You will get a lot out of him, if you let him. My best to you and yours.
      (By the way- some of his very best essays would be, "The Diabolist," "If I Had Only One Sermon to Preach," "The Bluff of the Big Shops," "The Twelve Men," and a few others I cannot remember. Check out his book "In Defense of Sanity." Those essays and others are well worth the reading.)

      @@DaDitka Thanks so much. I started with the pamphlet, divorce versus democracy and I couldn't blink until I completed it.

    Whether the fence stays up or gets torn down usually depends on whether powerful and influential people personally benefit from it.

    I'm a redistributor. I want to take things away from the Feds and give them to states, locals, and private institutions and persons. I suppose that's a bit of both.

    • @michaellautermilch9185
      @michaellautermilch9185 24 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Redistribution doesn't increase GDP, however. Moving money from one place to another isn't growth. We need builders.
      On the flip side, while I don't like "redistribution" I do like preventing theft and restoring justice. So by all means make the Feds give back what was stolen.

      @michaellautermilch9185 Ah yes, GDP "line [eternally] go up."
      A couple other Chesterton quotes:
      “We shall never re-establish the idea of property until we re-establish small properties.”
      "In short, I am lamentably lacking in that reverence for largeness, or for things on a Big Scale, which is apparently the religion of the age of Big Business. And, among other instances, I may venture to point out that this difference of opinion applies particularly to what was in the first instance, I suppose, the home and source of Big Business. There are a great many things which I really do admire about America; which I admire with much more sincerity than is common in those who merely flatter America...But I do not admire America for being big."
