Just to avoid confusion, here is a brief list of what I personally think should be considered fields of public interest by any nation that does not want to be sooner or later destroyed by its own greed and lack of minimum ethics (like for instance respect of basic human right, or violation of international treaties):
-health and social security
-energy
-defense
-justice
The government has the obbligation to make sure that their personnel curriculum is standardized and untouched by the outside opinion myths of mainly fanatic religious and greed interest groups, and in order to do so, the above departments should have their own academies to train and educate their own personnell internally, and to promote within their own institutions, on the base of verifiable results obtained in the fields of competence for the national interest, without regards for any non governmentally obtained titles or classifications.
Also, as mentioned several times, I believe in freedom of choice for pretty much anything not damaging third parties, like choice of controlling birth, or choice of religion, however I do believe that people that recognise the authority of a divinity above their public duty, are "unfit" for public duty because of conflict of interest and historical patterns of behavior.
I am not sure if I could be defined a good supporter of republics, the older I get and the less tolerance I have for the generalized corruption and lack of basic honesty of such institutions. I have always been loyal to my republic, however I reached the point of thinking that, given a choice, the presumed incompetence of monarchies is way better than the arrogant corruption and lack of ethics and conscience (not in religious sense, but in social sense) of republics.
I think to be a libertarian, because for anything not listed above, I support and believe in deregulation and freedom of enterprise, but poor western choices as "employment at will", "kleptocratization" of social security, "medical poorcide", "corruption and criminalization" of society and "freedom of usury" are subjects where the "real" effects are totally disputable, especially now with the generalized western crisis, tip of the iceberg and prelude to the collapse of the western economy.
I am not sure at this point if the leaders of "free market" preachings, are not as bad as their opponents, and I am starting wondering if the whole big chit-chat of the western "intellighenzia" is sincere, or another scum comparable and equivalent to the churches and the socialist lies.
I would like to see a sign from the "western" world, making evident in the facts that all the cold war doctrine was a real philosophy of thought in favor of freedom, and not just the preaching of some other lunatic Illuminati fanatics, just like their counterparts, but I strongly doubt at this point.
If you follow the pattern of the profits you can always see the truths from the political and holy claims, here a nice exercise, get a piece of paper and list the names and the companies that made profits creating disgraces for humanity, since the year 1901, and meditate.

... about conservation ...
I am quite surprised learning from the discovery channel that "religions" are now in favor of nature conservation. Considering that "religions" are the puppets of power and finance, pursuing historically an agenda of power search and oppressive and savage domination, it makes me laugh the fact that the supporters of no birth control, the inspirators of genocides, and the greedy manipulators of holy finances and perpetrators of holy destruction, wars and crusades, are now trying to depict themselves as conservationists.
I find also astonishing that "scientists" don't dispute such "religious" claims, as pure propaganda. The patterns of behaviors of "religions" in the last forty thousand years don't seem to show that much concern about nature and conservation, as the concern about political power, greed, hate and persecution of whoever would try to dispute their claims of false truth, contrary to any scientific evidence.
I guess that monetary and political power can still purchase a lot of "science". Since the time the sun died and raised in three days, on the southern cross at the solstice of winter, probably about or around the 13200 BCE, at the age of the last polar inversion, the translations of the legend of the shepherds and the books of the law felling off the skies, is still finding believers, an amazing track record for a myth with no substantial historical evidence.
Apparently roman sources mention about a Palestinian guy kind like a Che Guevara of the Empire age, titled "Christ", causing troubles in the middle east, somebody that in our days America would be like a traveling preacher trying to demolish the federal reserve building with a jack hammer, but from this to the whole mythology built in twenty centuries, the difference seems to be quite big.
Probably the doctrine of the church, will need to be revised to rotate around Saint Francis of Assisi, in order to support the new age of christian conservation movement. Well, who knows, it may lead to a progress for Christianity, history will tell. In the mean time churches should probably practice on multiplying breads and fishes, or revise their theories on birth control, because otherwise we may need their miracles once the world population doubles again in the next decade.

... alleanza atlantica ...
A questo punto e' necessario rimettere in discussione se l' america abbia titolo a controllare l'alleanza atlantica, subordinando di fatto gli altri paesi membri. E' oggi chiaro che gli stati uniti violano leggi internazionali e commettono atti criminali contro cittadini di tutto il mondo, incluso il loro paese.
E' ovvio che la credibilita' degli stati uniti non e' a questo punto in una situazione accettabile. Il ruolo degli stati uniti nella NATO danneggia l'immagine di tutti i paesi membri, ed in lungo termine espone i paesi membri ad azioni di rappresaglia causate principalmente dalla presenza statunitense.
Sarebbe pertanto auspicabile che il comando della NATO sia affidato ad una rotazione semestrale, sul modello della comunita' europea, dove ognuno dei paesi membri mantenga un periodo di sei mesi o di un anno di comando, a turno.
Una possibile rotazione potrebbe consistere in tre gruppi membro, US, British Commonwealth ed EU, ed eventualmente altri da definire. All' interno di ogni gruppo puo' essere deciso l'incarico dei paesi membri, in proporzione alla popolazione o ad altro accordo.
Quanto sopra nell' interesse della reputazione internazionale della NATO e dei suoi paesi membri.

... why madness is taking over the world ...
... and what to do about it ...
Coupling available radio frequency technologies with amplification (see NASA silent speaker), reading people mind seems now a reasonable reachable technology.
The problem of governments pushing to "chip" with RFID devices their citizens opens a serious ethical problem, and is a step towards destroying democracy planetwise.
The fact that not only freedom of speech, but also freedom of thought is in danger, may push humanity back thousands of years in history, humans must prepare to fight for their freedom.
I urge people to take action and resist, to prevent the "chip" problem to become the instrument of the new holocaust. Also I invite people to emigrate and support with financial investment, governments and countries with legislation prohibiting human implant of chips, while desupporting financially the countries that plan to implement human chipping technology.
... amen ...

... interesting quotes from honest americans ...
"Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." - Benjamin Franklin
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin
"I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." - James Madison
"I think we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious." - Thomas Jefferson - Letter to William Ludlow, 1824
"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." - Thomas Jefferson
"No man can suffer too much, and no man can fall too soon, if he suffer or if he fall in defense of the liberties and Constitution of his country." - Daniel Webster
"Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster and what has happened once in 6,000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world." - Daniel Webster, 1851
"Contrary to the Marxists, the Nazis did not advocate public ownership of the means of production. They did demand that the government oversee and run the nation's economy. The issue of legal ownership, they explained, is secondary: what counts is the issue of control. Private citizens, therefore, may continue to hold titles to property-so long as the state reserves to itself the unqualified right to regulate the use of their property." - Ominous Parallels, Leonard Peikoff

... rants ...
I just finished reading the troll post number one-zillion and something, over the windows versus Linux OS battle, that other unknown troll has digged, causing a surge of arguing as usual. By the way, the Steve Jobs of Linux are at least two, Stallman and Torvalds, and money is not the metric of everything in the universe as you folks think in amerika.
That's why Saint Francis may have not lived a comfortable life like reverend Dollar (is not a joke, it is his name, Google 'IRS Dollar' and you get the article), but Saint Francis is part of history while reverend Dollar may only remain in the history of the IRS claims, suppose they keep the records of the deceased after death.
Anyways, while I was reading the article, flashes from the past came to my mind, from the times the only Microsoft thing existing, was a BASIC compiler, I think it was called BASCom, was not that bad for the times of CP/M but I used Nevada FORTRAN and COBOL, cheaper, producing portable source for other places than PC's and more useful work.
In the early 80's I was asked an opinion on appropriation plans, and I suggested to give a try to a distributed architecture of servers/workstations of the AT&T B class. For various reasons the choices were however going in different directions, and I therefore opted for Honeywell.
I never had an MS/DOS machine, until Windows became a "standard", mainly for lack of decently priced competitors, Concurrent DOS and DESQviewX were clearly superior, but nobody really bought them for serious projects around the environment I was in, nor bothered to ask what we could have wanted.
Anyways, one day I found out that the geniuses in the engineering area, had appropriated a zillion of DOS machines with Windows 3.0 to build a distributed architecture using the Honeywell servers and LAN Manager network. That's when my battle with viruses started.
Never seen a virus before. Not in VMS, not in GCOS, not in CP/M, not in Xenix, not on Mac OS, so I assume, unless anybody can prove me wrong, viruses officially were introduced to computing with the advent of Microsoft introduced features. The introduction of the problem created two new working positions in my branch, and an entire new office at general services, just to support the PCs (I can't resist not to laugh when somebody talks of windows TCO, I had a GCOS machine with years of uptime, all it did in NINE years was crashing one single LARK disk, and the VAX did not even have a single failure in the same time period, I did not check the uptime but I'm quite sure it was the same).
At this times, the Windows machines troubles, in addition to the other folks mentioned, took half my time, and some unaccountable time from the users trying to fix their system before finally giving up and calling from help, admitting of having been 'bugged' somehow. For whatever reason, my Xenix box was not having any issues either, nor it was the OS/2 server, nor the VAX, nor the GCOS systems, not the Mac's, all on the same network, just DOS and Windows.
Next, I left for a new life and now I had to pay for my own software (sigh). I found some work with this software company, and they had a few VAX, a few Alpha, and a few PCs, we ran Tru64, SCO, VMS and NT. The miracle discovery was that there were no viruses running on the Alpha NT, so in a minute of hope I thought that finally windows x86 and PCs were going to be in a giant future trash can, and Alpha would have became the paradise of Windows computing.
In the mean time, I was running Windows at home, and at the business, struggling with the viruses, and hoping that the new emerging Linux would catch up to be usable as SCO. The main issue was recompiling the kernel, on a 386 sometimes it would take all night. At one point I even had one of the first Slackware and Debian running, with dial-in over the phone, so I could provide a cheap x86 stations running a free OS.
For about seven years after, I was out of the computing business, and during this time my systems were dual boot until the advent of XP. Microsoft in the mean time cancelled the Alpha version, obviously when you have something that works and with no viruses, why keep it, it would look bad if you are in the virus distribution servers market (I did not claim the right for this one, he he).
With XP I decided I was done with MS. I bought one for my kid, that's it. I still run 2k versions, only inside virtual machines, most of the times with the network disconnected, and just to run legacy applications until they are ready for the garbage. I may have to buy one more XP64 maybe, but I hope by the time this XP64 will be good to trash, there may be no more need of Windows and MS for the things I do.
Now I run Debian GNU for multimedia, and develop on Oracle on Fedora, Suse and Solaris. I could use Designer in the Windows VM if I have to, but I generally use XE on the Fedora installs. I found peace, no more viruses, no more wasted time, so hopefully as there were no viruses before Microsoft, the hope remains that there will be none left after Microsoft.
If I had to give advice to anybody, I would suggest to buy a Sparc, dual boot with Solaris and Fedora Core, and an AMD_64, quadruple boot with Fedora, Debian, Suse and Solaris. Also, for the ones that are nostalgic of the times of reliable computing, an old Alpha dual boot with Fedora and VMS is a kick, Alpha core runs very very nice on my Miata. I have not had a chance to own an Itanium 64, that would have been my next wish, possibly with VMS, HP-UX and Debian, and maybe also a newer Ibm 6000, but it may not happen any soon.
