So whose music is it anyway?

Lately, much has been made by many - pilferers in my estimation - touting their "right" to download music - FOR FREE - from the Internet.

As a recording artist, obviously this is a topic 'near and dear' to my heart as well as my pocket book and you the reader should perceive my obvious bias. IN addition, I've often wondered, which part of that old "thou shall not steal" concept is so unclear? While wading directly into the - it belongs to the village verses it belongs to the individual who created it - pool (and boy is that particular pool warm [grin]) I would like to ask:

What happens to a society where an entire group becomes inculcated with the belief that "IT SHOULD BE FREE"?

Of course it doesn't matter what "IT" is, - because "IT" is now rationalized to be acceptable to get "IT" FREE based on either "need" or "entitlement".

By the way, just where does this belief that "IT SHOULD BE FREE"" come from?

"IT SHOULD BE FREE" is the latest form of brainwashing being taught by evangelical collectivists tenured in the United State's own Government Schools. Moreover a new breed of "carpet bagger" adds to the assault by entitling the right to victim-hood. What might not be accomplished via legislation (read: a brainwashed electorate aided and abetted by vote buying lawmakers) can now be accomplished via the collectivist's enablers through adjudication!

So while "the looters" might rationalize that they are entitled to free music, what happens when the tyranny of the (brainwashed) majority - led like lambs to their own slaughter - deem their entitlement to the "fruits of your labor"?

By design or accident the result of an "IT SHOULD BE FREE" mindset is still the same and this portends a negative consequence for those in of our society who value "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". Besides, what DID happen to that; "thou shall not steal" concept anyway?

Tucked away on the back page of our Oct 16th (2001) Orlando newspaper's "A" section was a brief paragraph from Harare, Zimbabwe. This little 'nugget' contained the following "...Zimbabwe is abandoning market based economic policies and returning to a socialist-style economy, President Robert Mugabe announced Monday that Businesses opposed to the move should 'pack up and go', he said... "

The Zimbabwe government (such as it is) is actually perpetrating this worn out idea of economic-terrorism on its own citizens. The most heinous aspect of this plan is that yesterday the government of Zimbabwe boldly declares to its people that they no longer own themselves and thus the benefits of their own labors. Instead and without apology, the Zimbabwe government declares that they own the labors of its citizens. As a consequence President Mugabe has again forced servitude among his people and returned slavery one more time to the continent of Africa.

Taxpayers around the world (and particularly American taxpayers) should be quite disturbed by these recent actions. For it will be from our own pockets the next set of demands will be made. The government of Zimbabwe by its own actions is rendering the economy fruitless and is creating a system of catastrophe, malfunction and failure.

When a government deprives from its people an incentive to provide for themselves, the next step is to demand from others that which they have prohibited from providing for themselves: A remedy to a self induced crisis.

This sets up the age old question: how can a cart be pulled if everyone is inside the cart waiting to be pulled, and there is no one left willing or able to pull?

... may be coming to a neighborhood or civilization near you! These are the same old crimes - just meted out by a new overseer. Evil carried out - not by the Goths, Vandals or other Old-World looters; but, by a more heinous monster of the home grown variety -  "the Majority" inculcated with the doctrine: 'EVERYONE BORN IS ENTITLED TO EXIST WITHOUT LABOR'!

But, the new overseers are "Moral Cannibals" who proclaim that it is everyone's Birthright to receive minimum sustenance: all of their food, all of their clothing and their shelter with no effort. To further their creed the 'Overseers' have succeeded in their deception that: everyone is entitled to receive their Birthright from the efforts of others.

While these same "burden shifters" decree that PRODUCTION is not a problem - they declare the only problem is the redistribution of production profit. As the masses have demanded it - it must be made so - even if contrary to all laws of reality.

Where does the future lie? And what of the "selfish unenlightened" who dare to continue to produce, to work, to endeavor? What is to become of them and society when they realize: they no longer own the result of their own creation and ideas - that all property, ideas and result have been claimed by the Overseers - based on power granted by "the Majority" - to be redistributed capriciously and arbitrarily to those who demand it - based not on what has been earned; but, upon the creed of need.

What of a society who's masses permit this "Moral Cannibalism" to exist? When the overseer and the masses recite from the same liturgy: "EVERYONE BORN IS ENTITLED TO EXIST WITHOUT LABOR"? History reminds us that there are no actions without consequences. Q.E.D. a society that fails to follow the laws of reality will bear the consequences of those actions.
