Leaving Facebook and Google

It has repeatedly come to my attention that the corporate climate surrounding Face Book and Google is very friendly to what I commonly refer to as the Loyalists of the 21st century. These are the folks who have no regard for liberty and are rather comfortable with a nanny state caring for it's citizenry. It is this nanny state that now dictates the type of electric light bulb you are allowed, whether or not you have health insurance (and the resulting health care you will receive), picks and chooses the laws it will enforce, the education content available to your children and who should succeed in what should be a free market economy. Given the recent revelations that Google encourages the political class that has become this republics ruling class I choose to divorce, to the best of my ability, any relationship  I have with this firm's product. I now use Bing rather than Google for my search engine.

Face Book is no more than a tool which the ruling class must be very  happy to have. It enables the ruled  to seek some sort of public fame as they sacrifice freedom. Each user is the star of his own show. He can post pictures of friends and family which puts him  on a level playing field with the likes of Justin Beiber or Jennifer Lopez (even though the pictures of these people are more likely seen in teen magazines or supermarket rags displayed at the checkout counter).  Face Book enables the ruled to feel  they still have importance even though they've sacrificed personal choice for the comfort promised by the ruling class. I have severed my foolish relationship with this  tool.

I think of those brave souls who lived in the 18th century and chose to break from the ruling class of that era and chart a path which took them to Philadelphia and the founding of an nation where it's citizenry would be independent of rulers who had the power to dictate. Of course there were those elites who  fared well under this method of rule. They were the chosen beneficiaries of wealth and power. They  were  loyal to the Crown. Many fled after the successful Revolutionary War. They are now returning, not to worship a Crown from across the pond, but to create a new Crown to create such dictates as mandatory health insurance, placing ugly windmills that scar the open fields, enables farmers to get rich off the backs of taxpayers, public labor unions that are bankrupting local governments and so forth. 

I remain a revolutionary and will use these pages (and other means) to fight to regain the freedom and liberty we once had in what was once the greatest nation on earth.

I will have more on these 21st century Loyalists in the  days and weeks to come. I hope you will stay tuned.
