Twittering to Know the World
I wake up in the morning, and one of the first tasks I pursue is reading and making twitter posts on my Treo, or laptop. This is a wakeup call to what is going on in the world to my friend, or those I have not seen before, who reside anywhere in the world. Twitter tweets are small posts that populate the twittering experience.
Twittering allows me to discover the world, peoples' likes and dislikes, desires, and acheivements. Through learning about others, I learn more about myself, discover new ideas about my world, and uncovers weaknesses, and strengths. Twittering gives so much more as well. There are many reasons to twitter.
Some reasons people twitter may be: to learn how people resolve technology issues; what people like to eat, and cook; where people live, and work; what people do for fun and recreation; the latest in technology; reviews on movies, music, and concerns; the daily chores people do around the home. Those are the common topics on Twitter.
I love Twitter because it speaks to me, to my experience, to the experience of those I know. It speaks to me of the good, and the bad. It shares with me what people do in situations I have been in, or may be in, or hope to never be in.

The Five Top Anything
Don't we think in terms of, the five leading this and the five leading that? I sure notice this. Numbers speak power to us it seems.
There are five top cell phone carriers, five leading real estate companies, five major airlines, five major media companies, five leading indicators, five business days in the week, five school days for most school children, five influential leaders in a company, and it goes on and on.
I think, for the most part, in the technological era that we live in, we like numbers, statistics, polls, and are the simplicity of narrowing things down to the "top five."
There are five ways to do something. Five hurdles to cross, five steps in making a food dish. When will it stop.
I like "five" don't get me wrong, but we focus so much the "this or the that." We use a number to simplify, what is not so simple, or we use number instead of looking at the individuality, the uniqueness, the value of that leader, that company, that way of making a dish, and so forth.

Goverment does not solve problems everybody
Since when does government resolve issues that is healthy for society. I can't think of too many. Remember, government is by nature evil, and left by itself would destroy the harmony of individuals. Look at history, and you will see example after example of what evils government has committed, and the millions upon millions who have suffered as a result of that.
The wise crafters of the United States of America were educated, knowledgeable on history and current events, and designed a system, a Constitutional Republic to limit what government can do, and protect the peoples' natural rights to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
Now, back in 1913, the United States Congress allowed a private entity, called the Federal Reserve, with its Internal Revenue Service, to control the money supply and to have the authority to print paper money (fiat money) at will. Wow, this is certainly not in the Consitution of the crafters of America, and this is also something the founding fathers feared. Money in the hands of a few.
Ever since 1913, the United States has been experiencing incredible ups and downs in the economy, the worst depression ever known, and now, an incredible debt due to the printing presses printing paper, to pump up society.
Before 1913, Americans were better off since they were using real money, gold and silver, which unlike paper, have value. Paper has little value in itself. All throughout history, people all around the world have used, and valued gold and silver as money. There were greater economic stability as a result and the free markets worked. The exceptions to this were those occasions that government interfered in the free market economies by imposing regulations, or inflating currently. Those were not happy times for the populace.
How can we as historically freedom loving Americans, allow a private entity, the Federal Reserve and IRS, rule over our financial lives. How can we allow the government, namely Congress, to sit back and allow the Fed control money. Congress created this right, and can take it away from the fed simply through legislation. Congress' job is to create laws, not create private institution to create laws. The laws created by the Fed restrict liberty, and the free market. Look at the income tax. Prior to 1913, Americans were allowed to take home their entire paycheck, and not give some of it up to a private entity, the IRS.
Now, we are so accustomed to giving up part of the money we earn, to the IRS, and who complains about this. Only freedom loving people such as Ron Paul, and others.

Greed was not what made America
I like to go back in history to the creators of the United States Constitution. Back then, people lived under the yoke of tyranny, the tyranny of King George of England. The American colonists wanted independence, and above all, liberty. They wanted to freely exercise their rights to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" without government in the way of that exercise. They struggled hard to be independent from big government, and to be free. They even fought the King army over freedom.
Now, today, we Americans are living the greed that the King, and those around him lived. We are paying for that too as greed comes with a price tag. For most of the 20th century, oil sustained our lifestyle. I remember as a kid, traveling through Texas and seeing those big oil horses sucking oil out of the earth. They were an awesome sight in the distance, and they were all over. Then, we found cheap petroleum elsewhere: the Middle East. We are paying for that fiasco. Now, there is an abundance of oil in Venezuela, northern Canada, and elsewhere. More greed is on the way, as oil means a glamorous lifestyle for many, but not for all. Some are left out of the oil wealth.
The early Americans could not imagine the wealth that oil would bring, the lavish lifestyle which most of us live today, when you compare today versus the periof of the early American colonists.
However, greed is expensive. We get government involved in energy, and before you know it, we have booms and busts as government mixes oil with monetary policy. When government subsidizes, and plays with our money, the result is inflation or deflation, now that we are not on the gold standard. Government, unless checked by "we the people" will have to get more involved in oil, since it is running out on earth, and will not last for ever. The costly wars fought over oil, yes, we will be paying for that policy for years; certainly our grandchildren will be paying for greed.
If we truly believe in the fundamental right of liberty, we need to reduce the size of government, and corporate power, so indeed, people can once again, be free. The early Americans were free because there was no big enterprise in the way of ingenuity, innovation, prosperity. The 19th century in the United States, was an era of prosperity. This was only possible because the citizens still loved liberty above all else, and defended it.

Ron Paul and his 4-Point Economic Revitalization Plan
Ron Paul has an economic plan that is wonderful. It speaks directly to the four major economic issues that impact all of us. Ron Paul has a workable plan to solve the terrific problems facing society, and the plan is based on the Constitution of the United States of America, which Ron Paul admires, and so do I.
As you read the highlights of each point, keep in mind that for most of American history, these points wera already natural, and in effect. Most of American history did not include Social Security, and prior to the passing of Social Security legislation, Americans were more properous, and were taken care of in retirement. Something to consider.
Point 1 of his plan is, tax reform.
Tax Reform has these points:
Pass HR Res. 23 to encourage savings.
Eliminate taxes on savings.
Repeal the death tax.
Pass HR 191 to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
Eliminate taxes on social security benefits by passing HR 192.
Eliminate taxes on Capital Gains.
Eliminate taxes on tips by passing HR 3664.
Spending Reform is about:
Reducing overseas commitments, and bringing troops and bases back onto United States grounds. It is about freezing non-defense spending.
Monetary Policy Refore is about:
Getting back to sound money, such as a competing currency, such as gold or silver. Gold and silver need to again be legalized and they are legal according to the United States Constitution. Pass HR 4683 to repeal federal criminal code provisions regarding the issuing of gold, and silver as well as other metals as money. For most of United States history, over 100 years of it, the United States was prosperous on a gold and silver backed monetary system, with few periods of inflation, except during wars.
Federal Reserve meetings need to be open, not secretive, and televised.
Regulatory Reform is about:
Passing HR 1049 to reform Sarbanes-Oxley and reduce the burden placed on small businesses in America. This would brings jobs back home. Regulatory reform would remove costly and unsolicited federal regulations strangling hard working Americans.
Ron Paul is the only one discussing these issues and reforms, and knows the issues inside and out. As a 10 term congressman from Texas, he has been a strong advocate for legalizing the Constitution of the United States so that we again become a nation of prosperity for more people, and a nation that loves and preserves the blessings of liberty.

Boy Scouts and the Founding Fathers
There is a similarity between the boy scout movement, and the early American movement for a Constitutional Republic. Both have a system of values, and both recognize a Creator that gives rights. Both recognize the importance of rule by law, not rule by persons. Both believe strongly in liberty, which really drove the early Americans.
We can learn much from the wisdom of America's founders, who delivered a Republic under God, with security for liberty, so that Americans could prosper individually, and as a nation. It worked. Liberty lived well during the first 100 plus years of the American Republic, with a few challenges along the way. I find the the necessary values and laws for a successful republic, are found in the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America, and in the United States Constitution. The first defines who "we the people" are, and what we are entitled too. It discusses the threats to liberty. The second document is a a guide to limiting the power and growth of government, and a security to liberty.
Having been in the Boy Scout movement, I was surrounded by good, liberty loving individuals, and found my way along the path of good citizenship: love of country, love of liberty, love of the Constitutional system of government which tell what government can do, and if government does what is not in the Constitution, government is exceeding its authority, and violating the liberty of "we the people."
I wake up each day thinking a little about our founding fathers, the words of wisdom they left, as well as the boy scout law, the boy scout oath. I will continue to honor the remarkable man, who made scouting possible. What a wise man. We can learn a lot from those who walked and thought before us. Their values should be our values. They valued liberty.

Secure Our Liberties Constitutionally
The solution to all the many abuses towards liberty, is to have less government. Big government threatens liberty, since by nature, government will expand and lead to tyranny by a group or a single individual, unless there is a tool to check its growth. There is such a tool, crafted by a wise group of thinkers, that have worked well for over a hundred years. This tool is the United States Constitution, a tool never before created or put in practice, before the signers of the Constitution signed that document of liberty.
Real security for the rights of life, liberty and property can only occur under a Republic, with a Constitution, because in a republic, individuals are elected by individuals, to legislate, and defend liberty. Every group, or individual has a place in the political processs. A republic is we the people. In a democracy, it is different. The signers of the United States Constitution did not want a democracy, which is rule by the mob, rule by the biggest, and most powerful group. The group that legislates can violate the rights of the minority, and can bypass, or even trample upon the security provided in the Constitution. A republic is far more secure than a democracy. In fact, the founding fathers of the United States of American used the word "republic" but rarely using the word "democracy."
The Declaration of Independence of the United States of America defines the sole purpose of government, by stating that "to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving there just power from the consent of the governed." We better not forget that. This is why we have government. It is all about liberty.
A Constitutional Republic then, which the signers of the United StatesConstitution created, secures "life, liberty and the pursuit ofhappiness," by keeping government only big enough to do its job:protect individuals regardless of what group an individual associateswith.
A written Constitution makes the republic work. It is the tool of the
republic limiting what government can do, which is threaten liberty. History is filled with governments harming liberty, and destroying lives.

The Truth is that individual rights come from God, not from me, not from governments. Sincemen can do wicked things, a Constitution is created to check andrestrain the activities of government. Without restraint, governmentcan oppress individual liberty, steal property, like our money, andmake life difficult.
History is the teacher in understanding Constitutional Republicanism.
The big picture, which the wise crafters and signers of the
Constitution saw, is also the picture people today need to see.
