Of course,
Americans are SUPPOSED to feel guilty for
their good fortune of being native to the
world’s most powerful country.
I just figure that I owe my ancestors the
respect and allegiance of carrying on their
values for building such a great nation.
One that allows me to live better than most people.

I guess I lost it there Bob, only the rich and powerful have a right to vast expanses of land in a nation that is the only real power in the world. Hell, should I be bitching, Africans live in huts and eat dirt, I should be proud and lucky that I live in a dump that cost me 120,000 even though its probably worth only 40,000. This peasant will never make that mistake ever again. Oh, Ted or Jane Turner if you read this, I would be more that happy to shovel your cattle poo poo on your 100,000 acre ranch in Montana, hell you could even claim you no how the other half live after that.
Comment by Alan —

ME:

I remember the day when national television announced the discovery that if you take aspirin in the midst of a heart attack, you were twice as likely to survive it. In general, the study showed that aspirin, which everybody had, could be a major factor in protecting you against heart attack if you only took one a day.

Now, GET THIS: Every reporter who stated that, and I was a news junkie then and saw it half a dozen times at least, talked about this life saving discovery as if he were announcing the death of one of his children.

Now, GET THIS: Every reporter who stated that, and I was a news junkie then and saw it half a dozen times at least, talked about this life saving discovery as if he were announcing the death of one of his children.

And, after reporting this horrible finding, each reporter announced that it would make people forget all the good heart advice they were given, that people would take aspirin and get fat, do no exercise, and do all the things Mommy Reporter told them to do.

I am NOT making this up. That is how the news was reported on ABC, NBC, CBS, the local news and cable!
I am the only one who remembers it.

After a million years of existence, a major portion of mankind suddenly found starving to death a very unusual way to die. For a million years and the millions of pre-human years before that, everybody’s primary goal was to find a food source. Food was life.

So when, at endless last, a generation of white people looked upon starvation as a strange way to die, what was our reaction? We became one long funeral procession, one solid mass of guilt. We had not wiped out EVERYBODY’S starvation. Literally millions of people make their living preaching this guilt.

And you can forget starvation. Now if you live at a level the average person in any earlier society would have considered luxury, we are guilty of not getting them out of “poverty.”

No one CARED that aspirin would save lives. No one CARES that we have provided a standard that any sane person would celebrate.

SOMEONE has to expose how SICK this thinking is. SOMEONE has to get this BASIC.

To my mind, what mderpelding should have done was go into this BASIC analysis rather than go off on his patriotic declaration. He gets a B, not an A.

As for Alan, he dribbled off into a comment about the Turners he would have made if I had never been born. But he COULD have ANALYZED the basics in his thought and come up with something. How is it that the Turners have all that, which our white forebears got for US ALL?

If anyone should hold any private property AT ALL, then we whites deserve to inherit privileges based on what OUR forebears did, just as heirs to individual wealth do. We earn it every day by being here.

In South Africa, the Societal Property Rights I discussed in The New Right Papers and at the Public Choice Society meeting with a Nobel Laureate in attendance justified all the extra money a person got because his skin was white.

Why? Pull all the whites out of South Africa and check the per capita income level. The rand was worth $1.40 when I was there. It was .35 the last I looked.

But I was the only economist who noticed this. Hell, I was the only PERSON who noticed this. They were paid for being white because it paid to HAVE whites there.

The anti-racist logic would have us pay an ugly model as much as we do a beautiful one. That is good Marxism, but nobody wants to BUY an ugly picture.

I WISH some of YOU would go into the complaints and dig out the BASIC you are talking about.
