Authority

A NOTE ON AUTHORITY

There is such a thing as authority (the right to control, command or determine). A parent has authority over a helpless toddler (one's rights from conception on increase with potential independence--more on this subject later). A scientist has authority in a chemical company. A pastor (sigh) has authority in his church. The nature of these relationships is very different from the relationship we are forced to have with "democratically elected" or government appointed officials. Why do cops, IRS agents, heads of states, or even government-employed intellectuals and scientists have any legitimacy? Let's see, they have the guns. And, more importantly, they can only exist because of our delusional complacency and recognition of this mythical and immoral concept of government power, in a physical and intellectual sense. 

I don't see any legitimacy in any agency's reports, in the president's new tax plans, in the policemen's search warrants, or in the Fed's interest rate goals. Folks, its all baloney. Baloney powered by corruption, greed, strict tradition, blood-thirst, and  foolish or phony intentions. That pretty much covers every government worker (some are quite harmless and modest; I apologize to you). Specific examples to come.
