Anarchy

For all intents and purposes I feel like I am living in an anarcho society.  I know it's not but the day the GOP shut down government,  everyone went about their business like nothing was wrong or there was no difference from any other day. 

So long as I pay my taxes and leave everyone else a lone I am left alone.  I study the news enough to know that could quickly change.

But the impression is we are all getting along quite well with each other. We all interact smoothly or as smoothly as possible and hence it appears to be that we don't need a government. But I think often this is because we want to avoid interacting with the government.

But it's times when things don't go smoothly when we need a government.  It's when a hurricane hits or cars smash into each other, that government cleans up the mess and I am not saying government couldn't do a better job or that other organizations couldn't have done a better job perhaps, but when things get gnarly, when things go bad, when the shit hits the fan it's got to be the government that cleans up the mess.

When government is destroyed things don't go back to normal,  things tend to go from bad to worse.  When the USSR bought down the Afghanistan's government, the place didn't go back to normal.  Usually a much worse situation develops, like after the Russian revolution,  Lenin and Stalin rose to power. Same with the French Revolution, Napoleon seized control then there was the restoration of the monarchy followed by a revolution. ..

Does government force us to behave,  yes I think it does.

On the other hand corporations want to micromanage us to optimize how much money they can get out of us.

A friend says government creates corporations but we let government do this so perhaps we should tell government not to anymore.

Decisions

There was no day that I remember deciding I was straight. Perhaps I thought about my own gender in the spirit of open-mindedness,  but I found no woman who I was interested enough to make it happen with despite options being available.

Actually the whole idea seems kinda odd. Why would you have sex with someone you weren't attracted to, unless you were forced to. How would you feel being obliged to sleep with someone you weren't attracted to? Which I think was the case when people married to hide their sexual orientation.

No doubt when the jews were struggling to survive in a harsh environment it was appropriate to order no one eat the pork and the shellfish as is ordered in the Bible lines away from where men shouldn't lay with men like they are women.

In this harsh environment they needed population, they wanted women to get pregnant and that won't happen if the men are sleeping with each other. These are conditions we no longer experience so we have done away with the embargo on shellfish and pork. Isn't time we stop caring who sleeps with who?

It all kind of reminds me of stories I heard of great grandparents who were beaten at school to force them to use their right hand instead of their left.
I don't remember making that decision of being right handed. It's time to be more tolerant.

    I am interested in progressive politics, women's rights, science & art. I believe the only way we'll survive is if we help each other.
