“Probably all laws are useless; for good men do not need laws at all, and bad men are made no better by them.”
–Demonax the Cynic
Back in the mid-1990’s I came up with my political affiliation. I had thought myself a Republican for years, due to my upbringing and Libertarian I-want-the-gov’t-and-everybody-else-to-just-leave-me-alone tendencies. But then I realized that I didn’t fit in the party of the Corporate Welfare System. And I sure as hell wasn’t a Democrat, in spite of what some people would consider socially liberal beliefs. So…what was I? The answer came to me after the 1994 mid-term elections.
I am Pro-Gridlock.
The last thing I want is a gov’t controlled by a single party. And it’s my self-esteemed opinion that lawmakers labor under the misapprehension that we need more laws (I think the problem stems from calling them “lawmakers” instead of something more useful, like “a sort of executive officer for the week”). So, in order to make sure that nothing ever gets done, and the fewest possible new laws get passed and added to the already bulging book, I vote to gridlock the gov’t.
The Pro-Gridlock Party’s official slogan:
No New Laws
Repealing laws is always an option, of course.
I think I give the best advice…
…when I’m yelling at myself.
