Poison in the Kool-Aid

Have you heard of DiHydrogen-MonOxide (DHMO)? According to the website http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html#FACTS it is "a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the highly reactive hydroxyl radical, a species shown to mutate DNA, denature proteins, disrupt cell membranes, and chemically alter critical neurotransmitters. The atomic components of DHMO are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol."



It is something to be concerned about because "The U.S. Government and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) do not classify Dihydrogen Monoxide as a toxic or carcinogenic substance (as it does with better known chemicals such as hydrochloric acid and benzene), DHMO is a constituent of many known toxic substances, diseases and disease-causing agents, environmental hazards and can even be lethal to humans in quantities as small as a thimbleful." In its gaseous form it can cause serious skin damage including blisters and complete tissue destruction. It is used in industry as a solvent and even a cutting material. Nuclear power plants discard immeasurable amounts of DHMO every year with very little federal oversight.



This stuff is being slowly introduced into our schools and homes by government sanctioned entities. Sadly, it can even be found mixed in with Kool-Aid. It can be really bad stuff and I think we should ban it completely. There are several groups passing around petitions to do just that. If you want to help, you can do so by visiting http://www.dhmo.org/ and reading about DHMO and how to stop the widespread usage of a dangerous chemical.



For those of you who are still with me, thank you for learning about the kool-aid before chugging it. DHMO is the scientific name for H2O, that is, water. Yes this is an elaborate hoax that is designed to show how gullible people are and how easy it is to tap an emotional response to cause them to do something that is actually self destructive. The information on DHMO.ORG has been passed around campuses around the country and like good little soldiers the students jumped to sign petitions to rid the world of the evils of ... water.



All of the information is factual but facts can easily be manipulated to create emotions that lead to self destructive behaviour. In other words, the facts are the sugar in the Kool-Aid and perspective is the poison.



Last night in his address, Bobama sweetened up the Kool-Aid with a river of facts that flowed in the direction of socialism. He fed us the cherry flavored Kool-Aid through his "beer flavored tits" (see my archived posting under that name) and many Americans sucked it in as if it were the blood of Christ himself.



He promised to force auto manufacturers to stop building cars for profit and start offering cars we need at prices we can afford, much like Hitler's Volkswagen. He will put us to work building roads and bridges, like Hitlers Autobahn. He declared that we could become independent from foreign oil by creating new sources of energy within our own borders, just like Hitlers synthetic oil company, Ersatz Gasoline. He would streamline and federalize our education system to make it more efficient in much the same way that Hitler suggested on page 420 of Mein Kampf. He would help support unions and build the middle class to be even greater than the heavily unionized Socialist German Workers Party of the late thirties (while Hitler ruled). He would encourage young people to take part in a nationally funded community program, maybe he'll call it Hitler-Jugend (Hitler youth). Last but not least, he said that he would work towards building greater national pride and fortifying our military, you know... just like you know who.

Seriously, when Hitler took his own life his ideals bounced out of his head and across Europe and landed in Hawaii....or Africa, where ever Bobama was born. I'm not saying he wants to put anyone in an oven (except maybe Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity and Hillary) but he sure is calling all of the same plays. But then, old Adolf didn't come up with this crap either. He was influenced by Karl Marx and Jean-Jacques Rousseau Author of the Socialist Contract. Like them, Hitler and Bobama only wanted the best for the their country and knew that the only way for that to happen is if they forced it on them. We know that freedom leaves as much room for failure as it does success. Some people just do not have what it takes to succeed so they rely on elected officials to take from those who do.

You see, socialism means that everyone is safe from risk. It is the practice of giving up freedom for security and we know what the old saying about that is. The idea is that if there is a mountain to climb then someone is bound to get hurt or killed trying to climb it. To protect us from that risk the government must prevent us from going up it. If they simply prohibit climbing it then some enterprising young stud will go up anyway. If you try to hide the mountain then someone will eventually find it. So the government is left only with the option of destroying this mountain at a major cost to the people but on their behalf. That is what we are facing.

By spending un-backed money on the leveling of the playing field under the guise of "protecting the people" the government has devalued the dollar so much that there will be no mountain left to climb. Alas, we are all safe from ourselves and now the only thing we have to fear is... everything. We have put our security in the hands of the same bureaucracy that was in control of New Orleans up until bush stepped in. An eternity of liberal control and they were completely ill prepared for an event that was predicted by practically everyone who had ever visited the city below the sea. New York, a state under Democratic control since its founding and whose policies most closely mirror those of our new leaders, was the first state in the country to show two consecutive quarters of negative growth (the accepted definition of recession). Detroit, the state that has grabbed its ankles for unions for decades, is at the forefront of job loss and moral decay. I can go all night but you get the point.

Capitalism, on the other hand, is self regulating. That is assuming a strong federalist government is securely in place. The place in a federalist/Capitalist society is to provide national security, to promote an environment for fair interstate commerce and to enforce contractual agreements. Simply put, to supply an army, to make sure a Texas dollar is worth the same as a New York dollar and to make sure people do what they promise. Not to set a minimum or maximum wage for a worker but to make sure that the worker gets what he agrees to work for. If a company wants to pay 10 cents an hour and a worker is willing to work for it then let him. If the people don't like a business for its practices then they can punish them by not supporting them. By doing so they have proven that there is a market for better practices and someone will fill that void. Yes, the economy will go up and down but people will learn to prepare for the hard times and it will become easier and easier to survive it.

As for those who haven't what it takes to survive, that's the beauty of the free market. We all know that people who aren't financially saddled by taxes are more likely to be charitable. This is what I call "free market morality". Those who are in need must learn to deserve and not just expect. While socialism rewards criminals and clergy equally the moral market demands that you put forth some effort to prove yourself worthy. The lack of moral capital that was planted by the "New Deal" has grown exponentially having been fed and watered by liberal policies. Prior to that, crime was significantly lower and charity was equally higher. This is part of the raw truth that proves that liberal/socialism does not work. It is also evidence that, although Bobamas address sounded hopeful and promising last night, it is just more poison in the Kool-Aid.

If you doubt or disagree with anything I have said then I beg you to prove me wrong. I have 10,000 years of documented history on my side, what have you got?
