When I met Michael Badnarik and his supporters back
as he was stumping to run I was also deluded
that there was still hope.

Michael, like Ron Paul (and many others) so consistently says,
held that we did not need more new laws as much as we simply
needed to abide by the Constitution.

It was as I discussed this with Badnarik that
I began to realize that every law chips away at freedom.
and that utlimately there is no solution
in the Babel Towers of legislation that people yearn to
impose on others and, in lip service only, on themselves.

The problem I began to see clearly was that the population mass
has a vector that is programmed into virtually everyone stateside:
'Every problem has a legislative solution' - this is
a mental algorithm which can only lead to catastrophic complexity.

I left the U.S. in deep depression at what I witnessed thereafter

I do wish you well in your hopes,
but the reality is that you are prisoners now of a groupthink
mentality that cannot be altered in its current course.
The mathematics of social physics ensure that inevitability.

Isaac Asimov clearly illustrated this problem
in his epic Foundation trilogy.

Furthermore, Asimov's ideas about the Three Laws of Robotics
illustrate the issue of how almost no one can resist the
temptation to 'fix things' by simply adding yet another law.

And that is how I came to understand that
in this universe there exists only one law.

now back to cracking that Gentoo install

before I fell in love with the n900
