You’ve got that eternal idiotic idea that if anarchy came, it would come from the poor. Why should it? The poor have been rebels but they have never been anarchists; they have more interest than anyone else to there being some decent government. The poor man has a stake in the country. The rich hasn’t; he can get away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to be governed at all.– G K Chesterton, 1935

The Natural Law of Selection is that the better (Alpha) females should choose from among the better (Alpha) males to pass the best of their species along. Why is it that (beta) women who don’t particularly want to breed, and males who aren’t really very good at it (also betas) seem to have taken control of our political culture and our government? I don’t think we can talk intelligently about contemporary politics without keeping this in mind.

While NYT, WAPO, and blue governors in Albany, etc and blue mayors in Manhattan, etc, and various and sundry blue members of Congress bemoan the new rise in Covid cases in America, knowing few is any will actually die, we also know they are privately lifting their glasses and toasting the nearly 100 thousand over 65 of the 122 thousand who have died of Covid, many who were veterans, and at least half, including many old Liberal Democrats of another time, have been removed from the voter pool. God damn their eyes.

If I recall correctly, it was Alexander Dumas who told a story in his histories of a Hun who visited Paris, learned of the excesses of the Borgias and announced his intention to visit Rome to see for himself. He visited Rome, converted to Christianity, and came back. His hosts were surprised and asked him why. He explained that he witnessed the corruption of the priesthood and cardinals, the goodness of the people and the extent of their devotion, and determined that if Christianity could produce these results even with the corrupt priesthood it must of necessity be True. So he converted.

Property is not only a right, it is the primary difference between humans and animals. Animals make and use tools, at least some of them do. But they do not keep tools, make tools for others, create reusable designs for tools, and maintain ownership of the tools. Anything else animals improve humans do as well, and humans keep their improvements and improve on them further. Ownership of property is the physical fact that separates us from animals. It is a primary right, an aboriginal one, the most ancient of rights, along with the rights to life (self defense) and liberty (the right to move or settle down freely). Stripped of our property we become as animals. Look at any skid row and realize the inhabitants keep all their property around them, because it is the only thing that keeps them human.
