We constantly hear about threats to our democracy. But it is democracy that is threatening our freedom.

This podcast is going to be a little different than the others. Usually I identify a specific topic of government malfeasance, how it affects us and then postulate how the issue is treated in a free state. This time the problem is the way we think, or choose not to, and how that creates a society of oppressors and the oppressed. It is the suppression of our most human characteristic that leads to this situation and only by embracing this fundamental attribute can we live a free men and women.

Safety is a cruel god. Gun control, climate change, health care, the war of free speech are all examples of government doing things for our safety that are detrimental to our lives and liberty.

In this episode, I detail the failures of the government's response to Covid-19 and then, what a society without the FDA or HHS would look like.

In the first half of this podcast on government intervention in our health I will look at how and why government is involved in nutrition and food and then how well the FDA has operated as a watchdog on food and drug safety. Next week, we will look at Covid-19 treatments and invections and then, what society would look like if government was not involved in health at all.

Climate change alarmism is not only economically destructive, its worldview is detrimental to society, our interactions with one another and our view of ourselves and our worth. Combined with socialism and government totalitarianism it can be fatal. Yet how do we deal with environmental issues created by our modern world in a free society?

Economic insecurity is a fact of life in today's world and most of its causes are beyond our control. Should government assure basic economic security? And if so, what are the ramifications? Will a society based on theft produce good results in the end? How would a free society with no government safety net function? These are fundamental questions that need clear answers.

This week we are going to look at the country's failed education system its destructive policies, why such policies are adopted and then detail what education divorced from government control looks like.

This week we look at this administration's inane energy policy, the real, life threatening harm it causes, and why quick fixes are not going to happen. Biden's current begging, even if it would work and production increases, foreign or domestic, would not solve our problems, they go so much deeper than simple supply. But there are solutions.
