Borders are abstractions. They are fragile concepts accepted by like-minded individuals.

These individuals give their cooperation to these imaginary distinctions in exchange for their inclusion within something tangible; an orderly society where borders and the like-minded individuals within protect each other from trespassers who believe in neither.

These like-minded individuals receive the honor and distinction of "citizen" for their cooperation, and reap the benefits of membership.

As citizens they demand that their elected officials protect their fragile, imaginary creation from harm. As elected officials, they must pass laws to do just that.

Currencies fund the bills passed by these officials to fulfill their duty.

Taxes collected from citizens back the currency's worth.

Elections ensure that citizens can replace those politicians that fail their obligation.

This is the process of an orderly society. America is witnessing the opposite.

American politicians are refusing to defend America's borders. Yet, how can they expect to hold their titles? Think about it. If a Senator from, say, Maryland supports amnesty for illegal aliens, he doesn't support borders, and if he doesn't support borders, how can he call himself the Senator of Maryland, a Senator of The United States, or a Senator of anything? How can states collect taxes without the acknowledgement of borders? How can the value of the U.S. dollar remain stable if "the U.S." is no longer distinguishable from any other country in the world?

It would be absurd to expect Chinese citizens living in China to pay Maryland state taxes, yet American politicians expect their citizens to pay taxes to support illegal aliens from foreign countries.

Sadly, when the remaining 300-million legal American citizens get fed up enough with their elected officials and refuse to recognize them as their rulers (as illegal aliens do), they will take back their cooperation to these imaginary distinctions and demand something tangible; the hides of those who betrayed them.

This isn't a warning. This is simply history repeating itself.

I personally like to write children’s stories, but like so many other beginners I had not a snowball’s chance in hell of being published by any reputable publisher, unlike a famed movie star who gained notoriety by flashing her tits on the silver screen and then deciding she wanted to write wholesome children’s stories and have them published. Publishers were bowing at her feet.

So, we started FromThePen.com as a vehicle for amateur writers to publish their creations on the Web. Soon after, we were offered the opportunity to write political views for KRLA radio in Los Angles - this long before the existence of the word, “Blog.”

I don’t know if “Blog” is an abbreviation or an acronym for some unknown entity and I don’t know where it got started, but I do know that it is a function of regular people sitting in their kitchens doing research on their PCs and publishing their findings on the Internet.

At first the mainstream media outlets shunned these “Blog” finding as irresponsible and not of journalistic quality, but time after time the Bloggers beat the mainstream media to the scoop, and soon all the big stars of the mainsteam media formed their own Blogs.

Fortunately, we Kitchen Bloggers are still one step ahead of the certified, journalistic Bloggers in that they are handcuffed by the syllable police. For instance if they wanted to say, “unlike a famed movie star who gained notoriety by flashing her tits on the silver screen,” they would instead have to say, “unlike a famed movie star who gained notoriety by flashing her BREASTS on the silver screen.” And, instead of saying that someone was full of bullshit, they would have to say that someone was full of manure.

Sometimes they let the reader fill in the blanks. Instead of saying that a certain Democrat congressman was a dumb fuck, they would have to say that he was a dumb F**K. It’s as though the reading public doesn’t know what ** stands for or that we have to ask Vanna White to , “give me a C,” or “can I buy a U?”

In all, the mainstream media Bloggers don’t really have freedom of the press, us kitchen people do.

So if you don’t like how regular kitchen folk write, then just *is* off.
