If you could find a way to dress up as the power of the modern constitutional, pervasive State, you would scare the living craps out of all the neighbors.

Happy Halloween!
If I could find a way to dress up as the neoconservative establishment, I could scare the living daylights and the pumpkin out of the entire neighborhood.

Happy Halloween!
If I could find a way to dress up as the illusion of self-government revealed, I could scare the wits and the crap out of all the neighbors.

From Guillotine to Machine Guns
I passed by the French military attaché's office in Oslo last week. The revolutionary flag and the EU flag were flying on half staff.
Speaking of the French Revolution, it's flag flies on half staff when lethal force has been used against unallowable opinion?
Guillotine or machine guns? Quelle est la différence?

Scotland to the Polls
Today Scotland goes to the polls over the issue of independence from the United Kingdom. Even 16-year-olds are admitted to the polls. What a wonderful brave new world. Royal World says the next item on the agenda is the abolition of the monarchy. That is likely to be correct.

A Nobel Exhibition
This past Monday I went to the Nobel Peace Center in connection with it's year end free admission period (starts a couple of days after Nobel Day). One of the temporary exhibitions there was What the World Eats.
One timely and appropriate question to ask is what exactly this exhibition has to do with holding peace congresses and reducing standing armies.
One notable aspect with the exhibitions, though, was that it portrayed two ethnically Norwegian families. Those two were the only ones presented with two family names not even hyphenated. One should not be surprise if the father and mother are not married. There was at least one other families where the mother carried another surname than the family name, probably her maiden name, but at least there was one family name.
A friend once said that a family is a man and a woman who are married and have children. One could question whether an entity that does not have a single family name is a family.

Happy Halloween!
Want to scare the crap and the living daylights out of your neighbors?
Hold a No Such Halloween Party at your place and bug it completely and obviously, i.e., dress it up as the surveillance state.

Where Underwear Belongs...
I went to the neighboorhood pool facilities today.
Apparently, there were a few guys who operated under this rule for the day:
Go to the pool facilities and show your girl and a portion of your underpants to the rest of the world.Some dropped the girl part. One guy even had nothing covering his underpants.
There is a reason they are called underpants. They belong in your pants.
Regrettably, this phenomenon has become all too common...

Surveillance, Government, and Us
With the recent revelations regarding “No Such Agency,” we are reminded of what we put up with when the “government is us.”

Problem and Democracy
You have a problem.
You decide to solve it with democracy.
Now you have two problems.

Progressives and "Moving On"
Progressives tend to view their fights and battles as legitimate. No matter how many times, no matter with how high a frequency, they fight a battle and lose, it is always legitimate to come back and fight again.
However, when they win, anyone not bowing down and accepting the win for now and forevermore, is “stuck in the past as the world moves on.” This even applies when the progressives have succeeded at defining the moon as a green cheese.

Hail to the Chief?
Today is Presidents' Day in those United States.
The nation that is commonly perceived as the prime rejector of the monarchical order has a day to celebrate its presidents.
In the nation's rejection of the monarchical order lies a rejection of personal rule. Yet that same nation celebrates its presidents to no unconsiderable extent.
The very same nation also has a presidential office exceeding in power most if not all monarchs of old.

The Wikileaks Controversy
The state sees no boundaries upon itself. It intervenes to ever increasing levels in our homes, lives, and business, and it demands to know everything. Yet, it has no scruples about demanding “privacy” for itself on its very own terms.

Taxation and Representation
A dozen score and a year ago today, George Washington criticized taxation without representation.
Nowadays, we have representation without taxation.

Liberation Day
65 years ago today, this Kingdom was liberated from the Nazi regime. We have though a surveillance society being constructed that would have made Reichskommissar Terboven green of envy.
