Eponymous - or "danagol rants"
I realize Danagol has been ranting - and also, from time to time speaking out forcefully but reasonably - on the subject of Police abuses in the United States. I wouldn't blame anyone if they were sick to their guttiwuts from all my rhetoric. But I must add.... that it should be obvious by now I feel it's relatively inconsequential, that some folks are "sick of all this sick shit." Fact is, I matter less than the things I say, or propagate, in the context of this blog. We need to diagnose police abuses and harassment, and properly condemn murders by our public servants in the field of law enforcement when they take place; we supposedly hold our police officers to a higher standard than the errant meth-lab tweaker or urban gang-banger.
And we must propose solutions to vexing societal problems, such as the ones I've been protesting, in my imperfect way.
I proposed, a while back on various forums, a Socialist or at least a mixed-economy, of the type formerly found in Sweden and Norway. A "mixed" economy ought to possess the "best" qualities of Capitalism, though they be few and far between, in my estimation. I think our Laissez Faire structuring of the American economy leads to a wide and unnecessary array of social pathologies that would be substantially ameliorated, if we as a people were truly resolved to try another approach. Y'all have other solutions you'd like to propose, no doubt, and I'd like to hear them. But I feel no obligation, neither social nor digital, to cease and desist with the postings I've been posting. Let the people speak in regard to my postings - I DO want to read their responses. But I offer no guarantee (why the hell should I?) that I'm gonna change my methods. I AM one stubborn schmuck when I feel a crucial principle or two is involved! NO APOLOGIES.
