Earning Our Prized Possession - Moral Sanction
"With the election season almost behind us, you can still hear the echoes spewing from the pie-holes of politicians of all stripes as they cry out for unity. Yet in her 1957 novel, Atlas Shrugged, philosopher Ayn Rand had identified the problem and the solution, “They say it’s hard for men to agree. You’d be surprised how easy it is when both parties hold as their moral absolute that neither exists for the sake of the other and that reason is their only means of trade.”
"Of course, America’s founders had identified the problem and the solution 200 years earlier, and Thompson introduces their achievement to us again when he says,"
"This volume analyzes the mode of reasoning, habits of thinking, patterns of thought, and the moral and political principles that served American revolutionaries in their intellectual battle with Great Britain before 1776, and to create a new society after 1776."

Without that, I would rather live alone, to be honest.
We have a statist governor who puts the governor of california on a pedestal. There is a lot of land in Nevada where one could essentially hide in plain sight without being harassed by the state government here, but NOT in LasVegas or Reno areas.
I have visited and hiked in Mesquite Nevada -- about 80 miles NE of Las Vegas -- it is centrally located in terms of distance from many National Parks. However, it does boast of 110-115F temperatures in July and August ... that would be the time to head north for a couple of months. Another option for land would be just outside of Death Valley Natl Park near the Armagosa Valley. There is something about those wide-open desolate places that resonates strongly with me.
Thanks to our governor, Vegas I think has been dealt a death blow.
We are the quintessential two muppets, Staler and Waldorf, in the balcony.
So much easier than a run on FCC Section 230, to offer two options:
1. You can edit as you please, but you must disclose your practice and you forgo any protections.
2. You may not edit of censor, except for clearly illegal publications, and you receive indemnification for prosecution.
Pick you way, fascism or free speech, and the protections each platform deserves.
No? Too hard? Well, worry not, for two more months we can ridicule two administrations at once and accomplish nothing. A harvest moon indeed!
