A Rose By Any Other Name.

Almost to the end of the book about Germanys Weimar Republic I experienced an epiphany: A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME SMELLS JUST AS SWEET.

That is, socialist governments all atrophy to the condition where there's nothing left to steal, nothing left to debase, and theyre paralyzed to execute their will. Regardless of the name they take all socialist governments atrophy to death.

Conservative governments, on the other-hand, are stewards of value. They preserve stores of value in money, property, institutions, and social intercourse. What they call themselves is meaningless in terms of what they do.

And they take the printing to the place where they exhaust the supply of paper and the boxcars they need to haul it in.

That's right.

The rest is bullshit.

Hey Jim, I have a suggestion:

Instead of submitting frequent threads when you have a random thought, why don't you create a unique one and keep posting to it.

Call your permanent thread, "Miscellaneous Ramblings by James B. Johnson"

When you feel like expressing yourself, just search for your name and add another post to the original thread.

Decades of research convinced me that great men share one common trait, congruence.
