EH - 93 : Bipartisanship

"Americans care more about their team winning the electoral championship every four years than about the fact that the whole game is fixed."

Anthony Gregory remembers Waco and wonders what it would have been like under the current state party. Electoral politics has no bearing on certain aspects of life. "If ever Americans are to have their rightful liberty, a political realignment must emerge that shatters the dishonest and distracting constructs of left and right, Democrat and Republican, and focuses instead on liberty versus the state."

But the state is we the people and we have to decide what the function and distribution of state resources should be. Dr. Lenny believes that the state should control no resources, and work on an ad hoc, as needed basis at the level that is closest to the problem addressed. This could be done as informally as possible - but somebody somewhere has to have responsibility for making the decision and immunity from retrospective reinterpretation of the history of the events.

While here, i'd like to question why the rules of historians are changed in the modern era to allow secrecy of the past to proliferate. The questions of state that are sealed while the principals are still in play has become a fraud for defending the historical recreation of fact via fiction that gets telephoned through generations of public school pablum. What you believe is what you believe, but sometimes those pesky inconvenient things called facts are found in that more pesky inconvenient thing called reality. Once all the key players are gone - as in WWII - all documents of the era need to be released for public scrutiny! Note added 5:45 - now read this.
