From the Halls of Montezuma

Number Two Son, Steve is at Boot Camp. He will go through Hell for the next 13 weeks or so.
But he wanted a challenge, and I think he got his wish.
And, for some reason, my already sensitive nose for the news has gotten even worse.
My antipathy for Liberals, Socialists, Communists, and Statists of any sort has grown by a factor of ten, at least.
With the current trend of the State (hawk, ptooie!) to stick its overbearing fingers into everything about our personal and private lives I am already incensed as a fact of daily life.
Toss in the economic troubles the world finds itself in, and the incompetence of Any government to deal realistically with such issues, and the American Government (hawk, ptooie!) in particular.
The Ivory Tower Complex comes to the fore in virtually every newscast or photo-op that occurs.
Almost every proposed solution includes some form of the opinion that "the government MUST step in".
Why is it that people who are virtually unqualified for anything else but selling themselves to the uninformed, which used to be call "hustling" or "bunco", go into politics and suddenly feel they have a much better idea on how to deal with YOUR life and YOUR money????
These folks may or may not be competent to tie their own shoes, but how will we know, since their elevation to the New American Aristocracy provides them with a vast separation from the general populace.
The exception being their servants, who probably CAN tie shoes. Have to, since the Aristos (hawk, ptooie!) cannot be bothered with manual chores anymore. ( I know, it's a cheap shot, but I have to take the ones I can get.)
