Something that's sadly funny and ironic

It might take a political leader to lead the country back to freedom, and to teach the country how to utilize the private sector so as to avoid tyranny in the future.

Historically, great men and women have risen when there's a great need. Sadly, it will most likely take someone with political influence to, ironically, lead the nation away from government dependence. The public doesn't seem to hear the voices in the private sector calling for a libertarian turn -- they think it's merely capitalists trying to trick them into allowing businesses to run the country. You know how tricky those capitalists can be.

The reason this is funny, as well as sad and ironic, is that Americans should know that freedom is our best route to the future, but it will take someone in politics to teach this to a public that has forgotten or was never taught properly -- there's something humourous about a politician saving the nation from politics. Whoever this leader is, he/she will have to be persuasive, reasonable and patient. Actually there's a great opportunity for the right person, for someone who has the confidence to stand up to statism and unwaveringly hold firm to libertarian principles. Once the public understands that the private sector has the power to provide everything government is attempting to provide, and the capability to provide it more efficiently and productively without coercion, it will catch on.

Most people will believe this is impossible but I envision a technologically advanced society understanding and embracing the concepts, especially once government begins to show signs of collapse, which may be in the very near future. Disgust with both parties will increase the liklihood of a third party rise which captures the independents, which now almost outnumber Democrat voters, and do outnumber Republican voters, although this leader could arise in either party. If the trend continues of both parties losing support, in a few years independents will be the largest voting bloc. There is also a possibility that the millions and millions who never vote will become politically active and join the independents in a new direction toward freedom -- this could change everything.

I predict this leader will show up on the national scene within the next ten years and that independents will flock to the call. By this time media will have changed drastically and the influence of the MSM will be weakened significantly. Government is overreaching and it will take time for public awareness to sink in and create a backlash -- and when the backlash happens, it's not a given that Republicans will be the beneficiaries. It's time to get out of the vicious loop we've been in going in circles with Democrats and Republicans spiralling downwards. Remember you read it here.

This is why I think we're screwed. Or, at least, why the history of the vast majority of human cilivization has been screwed. The hope that a critical mass of politicians exist with a philosophy antagonistic to political coercion is very slim.

I dunno ... maybe we can at least get to some medium where the government realizes it just can't do any more without completely destroying society, commerce.

There's this great quote that Tom Woods uses in The Church and the Market from an economist, I can't remember which but mildly obscure, essentially saying that for 200 years the redistributors were beat back hard enough and far enough for the technological advances we saw. But that might be over.

Yes, there will be a clash between technology and government -- it'll be interesting to see who wins. The first time the government interferes in a heavy-handed way with internet use, we'll have a test.
