I'm not sure that InfraGard fits the definition of 'economic fascism' or any other fascism, for that matter. Would you write me directly so I can find out more of what you think on this subject please?
There's just not enough of me to do one-on-ones over blog posts. State what your concern is and I'll weigh in here when I can and others can add their two cents as well.
Seriously--I process hundreds of emails each day, have this, the Examiner, the magazine, other projects, and a life that has very little to do with any of it. If I'm going to invest in discussion on these off-the-beaten path issues, I need to max the pay off, that is, include the readers in time I spend writing.
Where I'm coming from, quite simply, is taking this statement: "InfraGard is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the private sector" and noting how many activities of the fed enforcement apparatus have no basis in Constitutionally-delegated powers, particularly in the agricultural, chemical and research/technology industries represented in the flash presentation, and then I shoot from the hip with a wise-ass comment that, to me, distills that down to its essence. That doesn't mean I don't think there should be no infrastructure protection--it's that I think resorting to many of the heavy-handed and Constitutionally dubious methods I see generally produces a cure as dangerous--if not more so--than the malady.
Good Morning sir,
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure that InfraGard fits the definition of 'economic fascism' or any other fascism, for that matter. Would you write me directly so I can find out more of what you think on this subject please?
