<p>God preserve me from idiots and if we must regulate then let us regulate stupidity.</p>
<p>First if I hear another tea party type call for less government and then more police and homeland security to combat crime and illegal immigration I will&#8211;well no I won&#8217;t!. But don&#8217;t you get it guys, being tough on crime and hard on Immigration requires larger government. No, I mean, really, it does.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the thing, and it is totally obvious to anyone who turns down the deafening noise of their own opinions, the people who are screaming for less regulation are actually only looking for less regulation on themselves while severe regulations are placed on everyone else. This is variously called an uneven playing field, unfair advantage and so on.</p>
<p>And isn&#8217;t it really something pathetic that when you can afford like a gazillion bucks to send your lobbyist/fraudster/briber/huckster to Washington to tell our illustrious elected representatives how to write law, that you should also feel the need to pay/instruct/order the media (which you own) to bombard our senses with hyperbole and stuff to make us somehow believe that it is a good thing for us to be subject to regulation while they are not.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s kind of like asking &#8220;we&#8221; the people to be complicate (a willing and active participant) in our own screwing.</p>
<p>I personally would like to see a zero regulation scenario where everyone gets to do what they want and then we would see how the tea party dolts like it. OH! let regulate crime and immigration and poor people but let the good guys do as they please!</p>
<p>Hasn&#8217;t anyone told the tea party poor the they are not in the good guys grouping, no, no, no, no, the good guy seats are so way out of the range of the tea party folk that they wouldn&#8217;t know one if it fell form a 30 story building and landed on their head.</p>
<p>If you are a tea party activist you have not got a pot to P  in and you are merely a fully paid up member of the deluded poor.</p>
<p>And for the last time welfare is not and was never intended to assist the poor, needy or those down on their luck. Welfare is designed to give  those with nothing to lose something to lose and thereby keep them in their ghetto&#8217;s and as far as possible removed from the weak wealthy.</p>
<p>I personally have little to lose except my sanity which is walking the edge at the moment, I mean am I the only one who is actually awake and observing the game that the world is playing.</p>
<p>Imagine for a moment that you are sitting at a card table playing a game of poker and you are really good at poker and you are being dealt unbelievable cards but for some reason you just can&#8217;t win a game.</p>
<p>This is the scenario that most people find themselves in, they are up at the plate swinging for all that they are worth, doing their very best with the gifts that God bestowed on them but for some reason they just can&#8217;t seem to buy a hit! Sound familiar.</p>
<p>Well here&#8217;s the deal (no pun intended) while you are playing your very best game of poker with the excellent cards that you are dealt the people who are pulling in the chips are actually playing bridge or snap or some other obscure card game.</p>
<p>You can&#8217;t win because you are playing the wrong game. You are playing the game that the government, the church, your misguided parents and all the rhetoric/propaganda in the media told you was the game of choice.</p>
<p>They told you a lie, you believed and now you are second guessing yourself, sucking Prozac and generally living out the life of a neutered could have been.</p>
<p>This is the problem that the very screwed up tea party types face. Mostly they are lower middle class which is double dutch for dirt poor snobs who want to believe that they are better than the other poor types.</p>
<p>Their intentions are in the right place, they have been playing the game hard for oh so long and here they are rooted to the bottom rung and the guys on Fox tell them that the problem is crime, welfare and illegal immigration not to mention big government.</p>
<p>The problem is that someone else has their money, someone else is driving their Ferrari, someone else is drinker their Dom Perignon, someone else is dating the hot chicks that wouldn&#8217;t look twice at a nobody from rung one who insists on playing poker at the roulette table.</p>
<p>So if you are mad as hell and you&#8217;re not going to take it any more then why not open your stupid eyes and look at the reality of why you and your precious country are going down the proverbial drain.</p>
<p>And let me tell you that like the protestants and catholics who slaughtered each other for years in Northern Ireland found out, the trick is divide and conquer.</p>
<p>If the guys on the top rung (the tiny minority) can succeed in splitting the masses (the vast majority) and have them (the vast majority) blame each other for the mess that they (the tiny minority) have made of society so that they can have all the stuff (money etc) then all is good in the land of the free and capitalism is toast of the few.</p>
<p>Of course the only ones who actually believe in capitalism are the poor, the wealthy know that capitalism is the stupidest idea. I mean who in their right mind actual believes in the free enterprise system, and this in a country where the only requirement for being elected president is like 500 million dollars, go figure!</p>

<h1>What are Rules</h1>
<p>Rules or laws come in two distinct varieties which could be described simply as incontravenable and contravenable. There are laws that can be broken easily like ignoring a do not walk on grass sign and laws that cannot be broken like you must breathe oxygen to live. It is not possible to live without breathing whereas it is possible to walk on the grass if you don&#8217;t mind annoying the person who put the sign in place.</p>
<p>Within the confines of this limited article we will look at breakable laws and leave the unbreakable ones to the Gods to ponder, after al they chose to create them for some reason or other.</p>
<h2>Breaking the Rules</h2>
<p>There is no rule anywhere except in the head of the conditioned that states you should work for Walmart for $7.50 per hour without benefits or vacation. Yet so many thousands of members of the greatest species ever known to inhabit the universe choose to do just this.</p>
<p>There are no rhino&#8217;s or monkeys who choose to work for Walmart, only the alpha species chooses to do this voluntarily. So the question must be asked; why would so many superbly equipped assassins choose to ignore their God given gifts and work for a corporation under conditions that equate to slavery without benefits or vacation time.</p>
<p>The answer is rules or laws. Rules/laws are created to limit the options available to the most adaptable species that ever existed in the known universe. By the mere imposition of  law, a God given right is disallowed. If the sign says 35 mph then 40 mph is against the law even though the car and road are quite capable of 120mph. Most people deludedly believe that laws are there to be obeyed and in this belief limit their opportunities to live abundantly.</p>
<p>It is interesting to note that the walmarts of this world choose to ignore law or find a way around compliance and in this non compliance prosper. This alone should be proof positive that law has disastrous consequences for those who for whatever reason choose to comply.</p>
<p>Most laws however are not enacted with public safety in mind. In fact most laws are not enacted with the public in mind. Most laws are created and enacted with a small group of very rich people in mind.</p>
<p>Careful observation will reveal that while the vast majority of people obey the law, the small group who the law was enacted to benefit actually treat the laws with contempt by totally ignoring their existence. After all we all know that taxes are for the little people.</p>
<p>Oh! yes there are sanctions for breaking the laws if you are foolish enough to get caught and even more foolish not to be rich enough to be able to afford better legal counsel than the State.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the thing, if breaking a law nets you $1000.00 and the sanction (fine) for breaking this law is $500.00 then logically we should break this law at every given opportunity, and this I would contend is exactly what the wealthy had in mind when they sent their lobbyists to bribed our noble elected officials to enact the legislation in the first place, and the chances are that the rich guy actually paid his attorney to write the bill in the first place.</p>
<p>So the successful rich guy gets to get what he wants by treating the rules as a tool to be manipulated as required while the rest of us get to sit on a couch sipping Prozac from a straw while being drip fed brain numbing reality TV designed and scripted to ensure that the vast hordes remain compliant in their role as resource.</p>
<h2>Live by Your Rules</h2>
<p>The only real possibility for success within society is to forget about the rules you or God didn&#8217;t create and choose a set of rules to live by that have your benefit and good as a core principle.</p>
<p>One should live by what I choose to call the white shark rule. The white shark rule simply states that if you must swim with white shark make sure that you are in a cage with a nuclear spear gun or two handy.</p>
<p>The reality of white shark is that they are harmless to you unless you put yourself into harms way. Knowing the capabilities of man the one in danger is the white shark.</p>
<p>So when you are in the presence of white shark don&#8217;t exceed speed limits or rob banks with guns, etc. Simply keep your feet firmly planted on solid ground and do what you want. The shark is only dangerous when you are stupid enough to enter his world unprepared.</p>
<h2>There are No Rules</h2>
<p>In reality there are no rules with the exception of this one law. If you are not consuming you are being consumed, if you are not alive you are dead. Everything else is up for grabs and is dependant on your stomach for risk.</p>
<p>You can shoot, steal and/or kill any time you choose if you are willing to meet the price, that is our core ability as the top of the food chain alpha species.</p>
<p>Taking the recent US administration into consideration the price of doing what you want whenever you want however you want to anyone you want is relevant and in direction proportion to power you hold over them.</p>
<p>As the Chinese philosopher is reputed to have said and I quote: You can have what you can take, you can keep what you can hold. Now there is a rule if ever I saw one.</p>
