Why Democracy Works And Socialism fails

Why isn't there a single example of a successful 'People's Paradise'? How is it that the best of intentioned revolutionaries was never able to produce a functional society? Why is it that societies that espouse economic equality and predicated on well meaning ideals, either secular or religious, have proved to be abject failures?

Well, we answered that question in our earlier post, Sometimes, What Is Below Ground Is More Important Than What Is Above Ground. We thought we would address the questions by themselves, disencumbering our readers from having to deal with intelligent, thoughtful and otherwise brilliant remarks and analysis.

Socialists mistakenly believe that a collective 'unity' of belief, thought and ideology empower a society. Their strength, they believe, are in the numbers of those who share their ideologies. Socialists believe that they have every right to design a society based on what they believe is in the best interest of that society. They also believe that an unwillingness to conform to their ideals, poses a threat, and quite possibly, a danger.

NSA Outrage? Not In Previous Administrations!

So the NSA is recording phone calls. Beyond the public blathering, blubbering and phony outrage, let's be clear- no one is actually listening to your phone calls.

In fact, the NSA isn't collecting phone numbers, either, notwithstanding our government's bloated bureaucracy, the government does have to employ legions of spies or launch another satellite at the cost of billions. In a masterful stroke of genius, the government will ask the Library of Congress to collect phone books.

So what is the NSA database story about? Simply put, it is about analyzing calling patterns.

SC&A being SC&A have discussed this matter earlier.
