Cuckoo Birds
When I
was in my early twenties, and that is ages ago,
I would
say to myself, ‘If I had only been born long ago when
land was
free I wouldn’t have to pay so much.’
I was
trying to save for a down payment on a house,
and things
seemed so expensive.
I knew rich acquaintances in college and their parents
gave them
a down payment.
It all
seemed so unfair.
Fact is,
if I lived in the time of the settlers when land was free,
I would
have had to hewn down the trees while I fought off bears.
I would
have had to scratch the earth in hope for a crop.
There was
not a doctor if I got sick.
There was
no convenient store to grab a beer.
It is all
about the differential of having and not having.
Children
need to feel history and not just read about it.
Unfortunately,
most don’t even read about it.
They just
want with.
The Irony
is that you spend much of your life acquiring and
ultimately
the house, now that the kids are grown, is a burden
you can't wait to get rid of.
What is
the point?
The point
is... freedom gives you the ability to make stuff.
Socialism,
the equalizer, gives the cuckoo bird the right
to a
house they refuse to build for themselves.
