My proposal today may seem simple, but in fact is`quite`deep and critical.
Our two main political parties--Democratic and Republican--should be shut down and replaced by two new parties:
The Force Free Party
The Force Full Party.
The F Free P does not recognize the`right of the government to force its citizens to do anything. Nada. Nunca. Quite the contrary, it sees the government's only job as protecting each of us from the initiation of force against us.
The F Full P believes the government does have a right to force us to do things in the alleged interest of the common good. Different members of the F Full P may disagree precisely when a particular law does or does not meet that criteria.
The way it is now, it is hard to tell the difference between the Democratic and Republican parties since they both accept, in varying degrees, the government authority to use force against us. That may seem surprising...that our two main parties agree on such a critical point. But it may be explained by the fact that`we are taught as children that the function of our government is to enforce the laws (bad choice of word)...and so government and force have become entwined and related.
Let's make it clear. You either believe we each are free to live our lives as we choose, or you do not. ..And there are no halfway measures. If for even one moment a day you are being forced to do something you don't choose to do, then you cannot be said to be free in any proper use of that term.
To paraphrase the words sung so beautifully by Shirley Bassey, "Get these parties started right now". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqNcyFNMfLM
