THE DEAD BODIES OF A FAILED ENDEAVOR


By de Andréa

If one has ever traveled across the Altamont Pass between the San Joaquin valley, and the San Francisco Bay Area, one cannot help notice all the thousands of dead bodies strewn all over the hills that separate the valley from the coast of California U.S.A.. Before one calls the authorities regarding this genocide, please let me explain:
More than twenty years ago approximately a half dozen companies with some private investments and mostly government tax grants embarked on a project to create electric power by harnessing the wind. The dead bodies, mostly still standing, some are lying on the ground as if to say please give me a decent burial in honor of my effort, are those of giant windmills. Not just a few, or even a few hundred, but over 7000 of these mechanical remains, stand or lay on the ground as a grim reminder of a failed endeavor that has managed to kill more than fifty thousand birds, some of which are endangered, according to the feather huggers.
I will refrain from calling it an experiment, because to experiment would be to erect 1, 2 or even 3 or so of these machines and collect the necessary data to measure the effectiveness of its design. Then one would make the necessary changes, modifications, and or improvements to make it competitive with other forms energy production. When and if success is achieved then one would duplicate the achievement, and voila, the result would be lots of cheap energy. Or in the case of failure one would scrap 1, 2, or 3 of these expensive experimental machines instead of thousands.
But this was not a failed experiment; this was a monumental failure in project management, among other even more important basic philosophical and ideological declinations. To design and build one of these money toilets that doesn’t work, or is, just too expensive to maintain, is an honorable attempt or experiment. However to build another and to continue to repeat the failure thousands of times expecting a different result is not only one of the clinical definitions of insanity; it is the epitome of ignoring history and the destiny to repeat it, even if it is, as resent as yesterday or even today.
To maintain a philosophy that continues to repeat the same unworkable mistakes, and does not provide any additional positive results, is one of the academic aberrations that our children are being indoctrinated with in our schools from K through Graduate School, at least for the past four decades. Moreover, it is accepted by more and more of our ever-growing anti-American leftist society everyday, and as a result, our governments, local, State and Federal, are becoming a redundant waste of repeated failures.
Our legislators are passing more unenforceable laws that do not stop crime anymore than the last bunch of redundant laws, and without the understanding that in a free society the only purpose of law is to support and protect ones rights, freedom, and liberty. Moreover, philosophically, law was never intended to deter crime; rather its intent was to point out the wrong-doing and convict. This is why more redundant laws do not prevent more redundant crime anymore than a thousand inefficient windmills will be any more efficient than one, two or three inefficient windmills.

THE BOTTOM LINE: That being said, the enforcement of a few basic fundamental laws designed to support and protect a society of free law-abiding citizens, will be a thousand times more effective than the thousands of redundant freedom destructive laws that are being passed by our legislatures. The electorate doesn’t seem to have enough to do, but to grow government into a bigger and more powerful entity for the purpose of protecting and glorifying itself rather than its people.

The people created the government, not the other way around. When the created becomes more powerful than the creator it is time to shut it down, and take it back. Moreover like the windmills, the politicians have become a redundant waste of space as opposed to a positive contribution to the process of maintaining a Free State. The Government of this great country America, seems to have become a Nation bent on monumental failure... Think about it…
