Eulogy to Laissez-faire Capitalism.

Oh, Laissez-faire Capitalism, how we will miss your pureness of economic virtue. We so loved your ideology. A seemingly perfect model of economic heaven that promised we can all be wealthy with hard work and personal responsibility. But in the end personal responsibility was your fatal flaw. As we find ourselves in this economic cluster fuck, can we admit that the lack of responsibility is was what killed Laissez-faire Capitalism. I doubt it, it was somebody else's fault. Really, it was every ones fault. People bought homes they could not afford. Banks gave loans to people that could not afford them. Hedge fund manages bundled and bought these loans destine to default. To top it off our largest insurance company insured these shady loans that would not be repaid. Where is the responsibility? If Laissez-faire Capitalism was alive and well today the answer would be "Fuck you, you fucked up, figure it out on your own". We must lay to rest this myth of personal responsibility. The denizens of the economy need oversight for are financial markets. Other wise we just end up fucking the whole thing up. Yes, regulation will stifle economic growth but it wont stop growth. What good is wild economic growth if it is just an inflated bubble that bursts into a recession? We must change the model. We are assuming that the players in the markets will act in the best interest of the markets. Instead we should assume the opposite. Markets must be regulated because the individuals participating in the market will only act in there own best interest. Good bye, Laissez-faire Capitalism, your principals will be missed.

Everybody is Doing It!

I was starting to feel out of touch without a Blog. So even though I don't really have anything to say I am starting this blog. I have title this blog as such for I have no plan or idea where this will go. Ramblings. I picked up the nickname Freedom in the US Army. Remember in the early 90's there was a commercial for some Time/Life compilation album or something. It was call "Freedom Rock". I guess there was someone in the commercial that reminded people of me. So my friends started calling me Freedom Rock, but the Rock got dropped and that is how I became Freedom. I liked it so I kept it. I don't know anyone that still calls me Freedom, but I use it for a user id and character name on the web and in games.

There are a few subjects that I am mostly likely blog about. I think all religion bullshit made up by someone for their own gain. It is very dangerous when people are making life choices based on mythology. I try not to discriminate but it's hard when the other side will readily discriminate against me for being an atheist. Fuck you. I am also into drinking. As my favorite hobby spend much of my time getting drunk. Some of my other favorite subjects are boats and motorcycles. I'm moving to a tropical island with no privately owned vehicles so there wont much about motorcycles till I move back to the mainland. I will probably blog some about video games and computers as well. Who knows, you'll just have to keep reading and see what comes up.
