I’ve been thinking about the site…

What some people do is host many sites, each one limited in scope.  I should keep againstgoliath as the book and the screenplay and all the things that go with it.

Then I should buy new domains to keep things together, to organize things by interest.

Like what interests me now is the stupidity and simplistic thinking in the Republican Party.  I would be Republican if they would not talk about social issues: marriage, religion, abortion, drugs.  No new laws.  Simplify government.  That is what I believe.  But if Republicans want to enforce the existing laws that have made a mess of everything already, well, that is the definition of stupidity. 

If the idea is to simplify government then accept things as they are.  Government is not here to change people, to mold them into little robots that will do what their Republican parents want.  That has never worked.  People rebel and that has to be okay.  Let them experiment with drugs and sex and only get involved when it becomes a problem.  That two men want to get married, well, that is not governmental concern.  That five guys and a girl want to get married, so what?  That the neighbors are outraged doesn’t matter.

Our justice system will go broke if we legalize drugs.  We depend on the revenue from fines and the taxes paid by lawyers to keep people in jail.  It is like our tax system.  We need an industry to help people figure out taxes.  We need people with doctors degrees to interpret tax law so that we can justify our deductions.  Do we need those industries?  It shuffles money, kind of like digging a hole and forcing people to fill it back in by hand.  Keeps everybody busy.

Would we be better off without these industries?  We should see what happens in the third world as they become better off, if they begin suing everyone and forcing complicated taxes in place of the bribes and corruption they have now.  Is paying for 7 permits to rebuild a kitchen better than paying the bribe?  I don’t see the difference.
