A walking contradiction?

I was just now glancing at my left sidebar and all the references to making money.  That seems to contradict what I just wrote about.

Or maybe it supports it.  Here I am, over 3 1/2 years of writing continuously on this blog, and that sidebar represents a lot of work.  The work is all pointing to the one thing that I railed against in a recent post.

I need capital to do a lot of those things.  I don't have it.  I don't really know how I could get it if I really wanted to do it--- like mine an asteroid.

Impossible to mine an asteroid?  NO.  Only in your mind.  But realizing that nobody can wrap their minds around the subject of mining asteroids, I came up with a more down-to-earth solution.  But even there you need capital.

One of the reasons I railed against socialism is that it prevents capital formation.  Who is going to do something that requires millions, billions, or even trillions of dollars-- when their potential for income is so tightly restricted?

At some point, there needs to be freedom.  I'm not saying that government should be abolished.  But governments tend to grow too big and one of the things that can happen is that they get so big that they can stifle everybody and everything, which eventually results in death.  That could have been what happened to the Roman Empire.

So, if it seems that I'm going pinko, then don't get that idea.  If it seems that I'm am totally insane, then maybe you ought to look in the mirror.  If I'm crazy, why are you here?
