A Quote…


Date: Dec. 10, 2008

“Men do not act in accordance with their interests; they act in accordance with their illusions. To know what one’s real interests are is an intellectual feat of which few men seem to be capable. ‘If all men acted from enlightened selfinterest,’ as Bertrand Russell has put it, ‘the world would be a paradise in comparison with what it is.”

– Henry Hazlitt, A New Constitution Now.

Can we have some enlightened self interest out here?…I’d really love to know, because it just feels like so few people in this world want to put forth the effort. As though this were “too much” for them…”How dare” anyone expect that of them…

“Enlightened self interest”…

…Have you ever stopped to contemplate, that maybe it “is” in your better self interest…to embrace pedophilia?…

…Have you ever contemplated, just how awful a toll this “war on pedophilia” is…and all of it’s vast reaching, unintended consequences?…

Maybe “you” do not think and reason so deeply?

Maybe it is time for an enlightenment?…for a new paradigm…

Maybe we all need to work towards understanding this wonderful, enlightened self interest…
