On Procedures and Knowledge


On Procedures and Knowledge

Our men’s coffee group only allows five minutes to talk about “conditions and procedures”, after that you must talk about current events and politics, local, national, and international.   After a great deal of study, I have determined that there is a direct correlation between age and knowledge.  I’m sure that Plato came up with that a longtime ago,  but the younger you are the less you know about politics and current events.

Now the philosophical question is……Is it the fact that the older you get allows for more time to research and become aware of the subjects, or do young people just not give a damn.  I think grandchildren are the triggering mechanism.  As your grandchildren grow toward adulthood, you try to envision what kind of a life they are going to have.  That scares the hell out of you today, so you look for what can be done to improve the grandkids lot.  After very little study, you see that the fault lies with the idiots we elect to political office at all levels.
The last 6 years have seen a doubling of rules and laws, when local, state, and national forms of governance are considered.  Of course there is some variance based on states.  I’m sure that is not true in Wyoming.

At all levels of governance we must start repealing laws, and make it illegal to create a new law without repealing an old one.  This is THE problem that is increasing the size of government. This is the procedure that must be implemented all over the country. Find a politician that will sign on to this law.....
