Put Politics Aside, Obama Says - WSJ.com
What are our choices?
I emphasized the need for individuals to both assume and be held responsible for their actions.
The bane is that the religious right has picked and chosen their favorite parts of the Bible to become doctrine, which is totally specious, but not unlike any other religion that wants to stir up the masses (including the Spanish inquisition).
Another problem is the plethora of social policies that support a lack of individual responsibility.
Sadly, I'd suggest we need a third party - perhaps libertarian - that focuses on individual choice and responsibility.
If the Republicans pick Perry who supports creationism, we are back in the Dark Ages and will just have to wait for some kind of sanity.
An obvious open question in the markets is gold expects the politicians to decide to print money to support liberal social objectives and Treasuries assume there won't be any printing and social policies will work to further collapse the economy.
It would be nice to find another route - i.e. quickly or slowly dismantle the social support network and force people to be more self-reliant.
This might include putting Barney Frank in jail and Obama held before a commission of some sort.
It would of course also require the drug laws to be rescinded as well as the laws against vice, etc.
But, one can only dream; thus, hard times are before us and the outcome is uncertain.
When Rome fell, epidemics from the East decimated the population and the ability of Rome to defend itself.
Currently, we've been faced with a semi-controlled plague of socialism and religious extremism.
