Pulse of Liberty (From an Anarcho=Libertarian Point of View)

What the Heck were they thinking??So, as a cabdriver in Sacramento, CA, I often see the "seamy underside" of the city.
And. let me tell you, it gets very seamy.  I see it all, from suits talking about multideals and megabucks, mostly involved with government, to street people with and without homes who just want something for nothing.  Usually spare change or a free ride.
I hear opinions that make a lot of sense and others that obviously don't make sense to those spouting at the time they are spouting them.
I hear Occupy protesters chanting socio-communist slogans and Tea Parties praying for sanity.
I hear pseudo-Christians going on and on about the Will of Gawd.  Or Allah.  Whatever the Flavor of the moment is.
I hear students droning on and on about the specious drama of their own lives as if it were a reality show and really mattered to anyone besides them.  Young urban professionals talking about the job and the people they interact with as if its all going to matter in 30 years when they are ready to retire the first time and start collecting their golden parachutes.
Junkies and drunks babble about how their lives got all fucked up, usually by someone else, because, obviously, THEY weren't at fault.
Peaceniks who abhor the military.   Vets and active service who cover the whole range of political views from anti-war to "kill em all, Let God sort 'em out".
Americans, almost all.  Wannabe Americans!  Gonna be Americans!  Should be Americans!
I actually think the first generation of immigrants should be sent home after they have their kids, because their version of culture shock is just too traumatic on us all, their kids are American and will probably have different political views, religious views and social views.
But so what????   That is what is all about. Right?
But the parents, can't or won't speak English, Hang on to old country ways and customs.  Way too disruptive for me.  I can do without it.  Unless they make the effort, thousands and millions have made that effort and it has paid off.  For them and for us, America, that is.

If you can't be bothered to make that little bit of effort, if the old country ways are good enough for them.  Then go back to the old country. I'll help you pack.
