Recollections of a former Flower Child:
"I was "there". I was in the atmosphere of the day and of the times. We were a Tribe. We were against war, and The War. We were for "civil rights" and "equality". We stayed up all night, and talked about Important Things. We were Sincere and Earnest. We were Passionate and Active. We would be heard. We would change the world for the better.
Or...so we believed."

Communitarianism puts the rights of the community over the rights of the individuals living in the community. Communitarian law integrates nations into the global communitarian justice system. The term "community," when used by global communitarians, can define everything from smallest rural area to the entire region, as in the "European Community." Today the EU Communitarian Court is used as the model for all regional trade agreements in the works. - CAFTA, the EU & Communitarian Law, by Niki Raapana

We have lost our individuality to the collective. "Law Enforcement" is the authority behind "community policing" which is a fundamental element of the Communitarian movement and the implementation of Sustainable Development under Local Agenda 21. BADGES GONE BAD... THE ENEMY HIDING BEHND THEM

Leonard Peikoff, the author of "OBJECTIVISM: The philosophy of Ayn Rand", identifies seven characteristics which underlie the destruction of the united states of America. It's the same things which defined the character of Nazi Germany. They are:
- Liberals demanding public control over private property, social security, energy, medicine, etc.
- Conservatives demanding government control over intellectual and moral life, school prayer, literary censorship, intervention in education, etc.
- Political parties devoid of principles or direction
- An educational system that creates students who can't read or write, feel helpless, and must adapt to "society".
- Student radicals who are, ecology fanatics, nature worshippers who attack the middle class, science, technology, and business.
- The rise of defiant old-world racial hatreds disguised as "ethnic-identity" movements and "affirmative action."
- A pervasive atmosphere of decadence, moral bankruptcy, nihilist art, escapist mystic cults, astrology, "alternative medicine", Orientalists, extrasensory perception, etc.
The Ominous Parallels
Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand
"Then you will see the rise of the men of the double standard—the men who live by force, yet count on those who live by trade to create the value of their looted money—the men who are the hitchhikers of virtue. In a moral society, these are the criminals, and the statutes are written to protect you against them. But when a society establishes criminals-by-right and looters-by-law—men who use force to seize the wealth of disarmed victims—then money becomes its creators' avenger. .... When force is the standard, the murderer wins over the pickpocket. And then that society vanishes, in a spread of ruins and slaughter." ~
Ayn Rand Atlas Shrugged (1957)
"Absurd charges often made and not rebutted can come to be accepted as truths, so it is imperative that Etzioni and other communitarian critics of individual liberty be called to account for their distortions."
~ Myths of Individualism
"As to altruism -- it has never been alive. It is the poison of death in the blood of Western civilization, and men survived it only to the extent to which they neither believed nor practiced it. But it has caught up with them -- and that is the killer which they now have to face and to defeat."
"Yes, this is an age of moral crisis. ... Your moral code has reached its climax, the blind alley at the end of its course. And if you wish to go on living, what you now need is not to return to morality, but to discover it." ~
Faith and Force: The Destroyers of the Modern World
""Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual)." ~
Ayn Rand COLLECTIVISM vs. INDIVIDUALISM
"Like every form of determinism, racism invalidates the specific attribute which distinguishes man from all other living species: his rational faculty." ~
Ayn Rand "Racism"
"Political control is fundamentally the power of physical force. It is the right to demand obedience from the citizenry either to do or not do something under the threat of the use of coercion. Political power can be used to command people regarding how they may live, how they may think, and how they may act. It is one man bending the will of another to his wishes under the threat of physical harm."
~ Free Markets, the Rule of Law, and Classical Liberalism
Americans once believed that property was the result of personal thought and effort. They now think of it as the result of a court decision or legislative fiat. Far from avoiding the government, they seek its intervention on their behalf. ... Our ancestors were acutely aware of something we seem to have forgotten: the relationship between “earning” and “deserving.” Like the ancient Romans, the people of the United States seem universally to labor under the illusion that their citizenship is a free ticket to the good things of life.
