Cloudy Urine When I Poo

Translation: Fred Reed, "Suicide Marlboro Man"

The price of freedom is slavery. Something like that. At least to some extent

I read all the longing for times minionymi G. Gordon Liddy book When I was a kid, it was a free country [ When I Was a Kid, This Was a Free Country ]. Liddy paints a delightful picture of the old days when America was free, farmers could inundate marshes without violating the regulations on wetlands, and the weapon was simply a weapon. People are independent, we have the character and make decisions on their own budget. Rules for the market to function, just as they should, and the government interfering in private affairs to a negligible degree.

This picture is real. I have lived in this world. I would like to come back, but this does not happen. It was a world doomed to suicide.

It happens that in the rural county full of independent-thinking the nature of farmers, cultivating their own land [ yeomen ], increasing density of population - either in the center or in distant locations on the periphery. There is a highway, because that is what he wants ciężarówkowe lobby in Washington. Construction of the motorway is a Good Thing, because it means progress and gives people a year job.

makes it accessible to a distant province, about fifty miles of the city. Contractor buys 500 acres of land along the river from an independent owner with character. It does this by offering sums that make the farmer's eyes go out of their sockets.

First the 500 houses in a dormitory suburb called Brook Dale Manor. A year later there is another 500 under the name of Dale View Estates. It's a Good Thing, because the independent farmer (now former farmer) the nature exercises its right to property and the construction of the suburb of creating jobs. The river now looks ugly as hell, but only care about oszołomy.

The corporate headquarters Safeway, God knows how far, the new population appears as a darker shade of green on the computer screen. Begins The construction of a new supermarket near the highway. It's a Good Thing, which constitutes an example of free enterprise in action and creating jobs in the construction industry. What's more, Safeway sells cheaper, more diverse and, in fact, better food than half a dozen pre-existing in the county family shops that terminate activity.

Soon they learn about the county, people from shopping malls to the big city. A company with billion dollars is no problem with buying the nature of the independent farmer, who earns less than $ 40,000 a year. Arrives in a shopping center with Wal-Mart. It's a Good Thing, etc. Wal-Mart sells almost everything cheap.

also displace the market, most shops in the county. Together with them, restaurants are falling, no longer visited by those who formerly came there on the occasion of visits to local shops. Along with the restaurants leaves a sense of community, flourishing in the town, where there are eateries, shops and market. But it szurnięte thinking, which speaks only to prying into other people's affairs lefties.

Appears K-Mart, and with it, along the highway, McDonald's, Arby's, Roy Rogers and other intermediate stations on the way to coronary embolism. Mall on the motorway is a Good Thing, because it is an example of the use of economic freedom. Trade is now operating on the distance control of finance, for which the county is the pin on the map.

It's a Good Thing. Posts in the new stores are safe and comfortable. Independent farmers [ frontiersmen ] with the character, now employed at low positions in any of the networks are no longer independent, because you can fire them.

Appears third suburban district - Brook Manor Downs View. Resettled to their homes miastowi ugly now numerically greater than the local with character. There are clever, they have lawyers in their ranks and work together. Quickly taking control in the government of the county.

want urban drainage system, more roads, schools and top-down regulation of construction [ zoning ]. The latter is not so unreasonable. The sparsely populated county kept a few hogs in the yard behind the house, or crumbling without wheels merc does not bother anyone. In dealing with a quarter-acre dorobkiewiczów ghetto - was. Then come provisions for keeping dogs on a leash, and the need to obtain permits for their possession. The noisy crowd obwisłouchych dogs are illegal.

Prices are rising - as taxes. Profits from farming and fishing crab in the river do not rise. Farmers and fishermen are gradually being forced to sell their land to investors building and transition to work full-time from eight to five. Unfortunately, you can not simultaneously be an independent person with character and be afraid of his boss. When a strong character, independent farmer begins to work as a bouncer at Staring becomes unqualified mercenary. The difference between the independent farmer growing his own land and punching the second category is the independence or lack thereof.

People earn more money and buy homes in Manor Dale Mews, but to a lesser extent, they control their own time, so now we do not build their own barns, we assume no electricity in their homes and they do not mention the clutch discs. The boom is a Good Thing. As a result, children become resourceful farmer dependent on others when they want to change the oil furnace refit or repair the boat.

Most people who have recently arrived from the city, afraid of weapons. Do not hunt, knowing that food comes from Safeway'ai its newcomer rival, Giant. They do not like independent peasants, whom they call wsiokami, simpletons or prowincjuszami. Hunting and so there is no sense in their case, because the flock of migratory birds of the wetlands are disappearing.

In fact, when people are shooting with guns and śrutówek in a place that is becoming increasingly annex to the city, it is not safe. Effects of newcomers makes it harder for independent even show up with a gun in sight. In the landfill no longer allowed to shoot rats.

Children resourceful villagers do not succeed in school as well as the offspring of commuters parasitic invaders, and they are slowly being pushed to the margins. Crime is increasing as the social links are broken. Previously, virtually everyone knows everyone and knows what who has a car. Aliens are distinguished. Trouble-making teenagers, but there were limits. It gets into the anonymity of large numbers, and moreover there is no longer any communities.

And in this way, a county full of free farmers is transformed into another suburban district inhabited mięczakowatą the colorless dorobkiewiczów who can not inflate your tires. Individualists rural actors are small cogs in someone else's machine. Their children grow up to be sexually promiscuous supermarket monkey ćpające to escape from boredom. The same county is now paying the hideous, painted in bright colors, building trashy neighborhood. The life of the population is managed at a distance.

Briefly speaking, the point is that the inalienable right of the independent farmer to dispose of his property in the way he wishes (which is not affected), generally leads to the fact that It gets into the hands of the contractor. Inalienable right to reproduction will lead to congestion, which results in a lack of independence, the government prying and the loss of local control.

again I live in a world of Mr. Liddy. Unfortunately, this world has a tendency to samolikwidacji. Freedom is in the long run inconsistent with freedom, because inevitably be used in such a way that creates a control. As a species simply can not be overcome. But for some time, we lived well.
