For your own good



Cool Hand Luke--- "failure to communicate" scene (video)

Robert Ringer has a new article out entitled "Forced Love". His description of forced love sounds a little bit like that scene. "The Captain" keeps saying that his treatment, of the prisoners he's in charge of, is for their "own good". When Luke says he wishes the Captain would stop being "so good" to him, the Captain goes into a rage and beats him--the speech follows.

Communism is a lot like that. It is for the "good of the people" that some people end up as collateral damage. If you cross a commie, you get the Captain's treatment. All of it for your own good, of course. There's no freedom in prison, don't you know.

The current political class is acting just that way. Like the movie, it going to be like one gigantic prison camp. It is also just like the kind of societies that communism produces. They are hell bent to do "what's good for us" as opposed to doing what they were elected to do. It's all called "democracy", but if it was really democracy, would anybody choose to live the way a prisoner is forced to live?
