"Progressive community?"

I think I'm going to be ill.


Why become ill?


Because every clown in the world with an agenda claims to be representing
some "community" or other. It has to be the most hackneyed phrase
currently
in use in the English language. Nearly as ubiquitous as "I'm like."


"Give back to the community"
"The community"
"The good of the community"

A ghost phrase if there ever was one.

Community and communism have a lot in common, especially in premise.

If enough people get together and force their will upon others the word
"gang" can be used interchangeably with "community".

All of the hogwash can be brushed aside by asserting there are no such
things as group or community rights. Without "rights" they can't do much
except march up and down the street with ill drawn placards.

Stand up for the smallest minority on earth --- the individual!

I'm Ted Bell!
