A few days ago, I got a preview of the new civilian enforcement agency, promised during the campaign. A brand new full-size (not hybrid) SUV, complete with custom paint-job and special roof-top lighting (estimated cost $50K), labeled Home Land Security, was being driven from an automobile dealer in Oceanside. The driver was a large minority man.

The new spread-the-wealth policy may be resisted, therefore, a non-compliance service will be required. Local police and sheriffs are too connected to the community (as they should be) through locally elected officials to be affective in this unpopular effort.

As we know from current Supreme Court candidate hearings, and at least one administration appointment policy statement, sympathy with certain ethnic groups is preferred. Those with little formal education or work-place achievement should by employed in higher paid positions.

As reported as a constant drone in the state-media, many (citizens or not) are less than satisfied with their position (after 30 years + trillions of dollars) in the US of America. In their opinion, their status is the result of exploitation by elites; they are correct.

Recruiting the disadvantaged into a national (relocated geographically) department with higher pay will ensure obedience regardless of the constitutionality of the orders given. Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely (or disingenuous) exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. / C. S. Lewis.

Betrayal by representatives dates back to pre-biblical times; documented by Greek philosophers and playwrights'. Those who don't study history are destined to repeat it (unknown). Government power, as opposed to commercial power, is different because physical enforcement is by the fire-armed police; directed and protected by the law.

Is entrepreneurial capitalistic free enterprise sustainable? Or, has the (233 year) experiment in individual property rights come to a failed conclusion? Is the human race returning (evolving) to a natural state, in which everyone is subservient to the state, totalitarianism?

As quoted in the magazine, Land Development Today (January 2009 - page 14); Many readers continue to have the same misunderstanding of sustainability that is held by the general public. Too many still equate the word sustainable with environment. Political and economic topics should be included when evaluating environmental issues. Much, much more is at stake than pristine air, clean water and soil erosion.
