I remember back before the election when, in a news interview, a young man was talking about health care coverage and made the statement; "Get outta the way grandma, I want mine!", as if seniors were taking something, to which he was entitled, being younger and of more value to the collective.
This just blew me away when I first started hearing things like it. What a scary attitude of entitlement.
It reminds me of Obama advisor Ezekiel Emanuel's "Complete Lives Curve" system that Glenn Beck exposed years ago, where people of certain ages are deemed to be of more value to the collective, while the very young and the very old are not.

You can easily see how that supports abortion and euthanasia of the elderly and infirm.
It reminded me of something else. This video that I saw years ago, by George Bernard Shaw.

In other words:
"Remember that a government big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take away everything you have.” -Barry Goldwater
This is what happens when government grows so much that it consumes
everything, strips away individual rights and owns you, instead of you
owning your own life. You become property for the collective to dispose
of as they please - a mere serf, or subject.
These kinds of statements have seemed even more troubling, with an authoritarian Marxist regime in power now, as we've started hearing more rumblings along those lines. A regime that now considers our Constitution a mere inconvenience, to be gotten around by executive order if necessary.
So then I just came across this article at
http://www.thedailybell.com/28552/Bill-Bonner-Zombie-Nation
The bolding and underlining are mine:
"Zombie Nation
Creating and sustaining a nation of zombies is expensive.
Large sections of the US population have been turned into zombies. Retirees. Medicare dependents. Food stamp recipients. Disabled people. They are not necessarily bad people. They are not necessarily dishonest or lazy. But rather than add to wealth, they consume it. And when you have too many of them, your society consumes more wealth than it produces and you are on the road to The Downside."
Well what are "we" gonna do about "those people" now?
Something needs to be done, right?
Now in my 60's, I highly resent such sentiments. After all, it wasn't exactly my choice to be forced ( pretty much at gunpoint - I had no choice ) to pay into the forced-collectivist Socialist (In)Security system, from the day I started working as a teen, and to have it continue throughout my entire working years. And they even moved the bar on me in the process. Back then, I was promised full retirement at age 65. Then they did a bait and switch along the way, and it became 66.
And now these people are propagandizing us in with food stamp recipients and welfare slackers?
We're the walking dead and we just haven't figured it out yet?!
Excuse me?!
They have more nerve than a bum tooth!
For those of you who aren't Jewish, this pretty much epitomizes the word "chutzpah"!
But this is part of a collectivist agenda now, to start demonizing, like Shaw and Hitler did, those who "aren't pulling their own weight for the collective", even if they are seniors or the disabled - people who paid into their system and now expect to get just a little something back. Well "we" can't have that!
How many of you remember an old science fiction movie called "Logan's Run"?
If you haven't seen it, now might be a good time. It portrayed a world where there were no old people, because when you turned 30 you were zapped. And of course society loses a lot from that kind of thing, but this is the end game of forced-collectivism, when government gets so big and out of control that it starts owning you, and then starts making decisions on your value to the collective, and how to dispose of their "property".
And then it starts cannibalizing certain people.
Another reason I'm glad for my Second Amendment-recognized human rights, and will work hard to stay armed until the day I die.

Comment by Louise Strauss on January 14, 2013 at 10:15am The plan is moving forward and unfortunately the public is kept distracted by nonsense and so uninformed about the reality of our situation.
The Nazies have arrived.

As an old white conservative man, you have p***ed me off enough I think I'll live another 10 or 15 years.
Comment by Ruth Nicholls on January 11, 2013 at 8:52pm Thank you Cynthia.
It really looked like Mr. Moore wrote everything after the quote from Max Planck. So I apologize, Mr. Moore, if that entire post was not from your own thought. And with this post I will address it to whomever wrote those words.
Comment by Cynthia Catsman on January 11, 2013 at 8:35pm Ruth - Believe you should address your comments to Philip Brocum, the author of the column posted by C.E. Moore. Brocum is about 30, MIT graduate, lived in LV for a time. He's a kid who thinks he knows a whole lot...
Comment by Ruth Nicholls on January 11, 2013 at 8:22pm Mr. C.E.Moore,
Have you ever studied history. In the long history of human achievements, has there ever been a utopia or anything close?
Have you ever seen a human being who has no evil in his soul?
Are there any moral lines for you? Or are you an infant in an adult body? (Infants are little bundles of id).
When the seniors are dead and gone, who will sustain you?
Here's what will happen: the young people who will eventually become old (you) will become unnecessary, no, a real drag on the lives of the REAL young of that time. You will be euthanized. Life is hell, isn't it?

Live Free or Die!
Comment by C.E. Moore on January 11, 2013 at 7:38pm People under 45 voted two to one for our current so-called leader. Most of these people are already fully indoctrinized, the ones lucid enough to have retained it. The others are basically hopeless causes, already fully enscounched in the taker column with no intention nor desire to change or effect their own lives in any regard. For our nation to begin the comeback to the nation it once was will take, in my opinion, events more powerful than the patriotism and efforts of our kind of people. We are outnumbered. I pray for those events. Massive pain and possibly blood will be required of us or our descendants unfortunately.

Rhythme and Reason by Philip Brocum
Anybody else waiting for the old generation to die so that we can legalize filesharing, marijuana, gay marriage, etc. and then get on with our lives?
“A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.” – Max Planck
Look, I’m the first to admit that we young people are dumb: we are sex-crazed, druggy rock ‘n roll freaks who love Family Guy and fart jokes, but at least we care about the future. For us, most of our lives lie in the future. For old people, most of their lives lie in the past. I think that might be why old people are so stuck in their ways.
If you haven’t heard, the people who run The Pirate Bay were found guilty and sentenced to a year in prison and fines of about $4 million. This is nothing more than the older generation trying to stop the future from happening. By the way, they weren’t even convicted of sharing files illegally, or even sharing information about illegal files, but simply linking to information about illegal files which “aids and abets” the downloading of illegal files. This is nothing more than censorship.
I really hate people who try to stop change. As I mentioned previously in my blog post on Star Trek and Intellectual Property, a world in which information is free is one step closer to utopia. It’s nothing to be afraid of. If history has taught us anything, it’s that you can’t stop innovation.
Now, I don’t know a single 20-something or younger person who believes filesharing to be wrong (or gay marriage, or marijuana). Hopefully, once our generation takes over things will change.
