Edward Leedskalnin, the builder of Coral Castle in South Florida
|
||
wrote several papers which have managed to survive. A small book by
|
||
Leedskalnin entitled "A Book in Every Home" has a distillation of
|
||
his observations in life. From this book, we take the document on
|
||
Ed's idea of politics. It is most discerning.

|
||
Politics
|
||
by Ed Leedskalnin
|
||
|
||
Before I say anything about the government, let's establish a base
|
||
for reasoning.
|
||
|
||
All our ideas should produce good and lasting results and then
|
||
anything that is good NOW would have been good in the PAST and it
|
||
will be good in the FUTURE and it will be good UNDER ANY
|
||
CIRCUMSTANCES, so any idea that does not cover all this broad base
|
||
IS NO GOOD.
|
||
|
||
To be right, one's thought will have to be BASED ON NATURAL FACTS,
|
||
for really, Mother Nature ONLY can tell what is right and what is
|
||
wrong and the way that things should be.
|
||
|
||
My definition of right is that right is anything in nature that
|
||
exists without ARTIFICIAL MODIFICATION and all the others are wrong.
|
||
|
||
Now suppose you would say it is wrong. In that case, I would say
|
||
YOU are wrong yourself because you came into this world through
|
||
natural circumstances that YOU HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH and so as long
|
||
as such a thing exists as yourself, I am right and you are wrong.
|
||
Only those are right whose thoughts are BASED on natural facts and
|
||
inclinations.
|
||
|
||
It is a natural tendency for all living things to take it easy. You
|
||
watch any living thing you want to, and you will see that as soon as
|
||
they FILL UP, they will LIE DOWN and TAKE IT EASY.
|
||
|
||
The physical comfort, the ease, that is the only thing in this world
|
||
that satisfies. It cannot be overdone and it is the real base of
|
||
all our actions.
|
||
|
||
We all cannot take things easy because there is too much competition
|
||
from other people. Only those who possess good management will
|
||
succeed BY EXPLOITING domestic animals, machinery, other people and
|
||
natural resources.
|

|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Everything will have to be produced that is consumed and to those
|
||
who have to produce the things themselves, they are consuming the
|
||
easy days which (are due them but) are not coming to them.
|
||
|
||
It has been told to you that the government is for the purpose of
|
||
protecting "life" and property, but it really IS TO PROTECT
|
||
"PROPERTY" and life.
|
||
|
||
NOBODY WANTS YOUR LIFE BUT EVERYBODY WANTS YOUR PROPERTY!
|
||
|
||
In International dealings, when an army conquers the land, they
|
||
DON'T WANT THE PEOPLE, they want the PHYSICAL PROPERTY and so do the
|
||
thieves and the bandits. They want your money and property and IF
|
||
YOU WILL SUBMIT PEACEFULLY, they won't harm you.
|
||
|
||
Now you see, NOBODY WANTS YOU, they want your property so really the
|
||
property is the one that needs the protection and NOT YOU. YOU ARE
|
||
THE PROTECTOR YOURSELF.
|
||
|
||
Government TO BE LASTING will have to be JUST. This means it will
|
||
have to protect ALL the property alike and all the property will
|
||
have to pay equal taxes, which means big property, big taxes, and
|
||
small property, small taxes.
|
||
|
||
Government CANNOT EXIST without taxes so only those who pay taxes
|
||
should vote and vote according to the taxes they pay.
|
||
|
||
It is not sound to ALLOW THE WEAKLINGS TO VOTE. Any one who is too
|
||
weak to MAKE HIS OWN LIVING is not strong enough to vote, because
|
||
their WEAK INFLUENCE weakens the state and a degenerated state
|
||
cannot exist very long, but every state should be sound and lasting.
|
||
|
||
By voting, the voters dictate the state's destiny for times to come
|
||
and then to allow such a weak influence to guide the state, it is
|
||
not wise and so you see one should vote according to how HE is
|
||
carrying the State's burden. (the right to vote, not the # of votes)
|
||
|
||
Another unwise thing about equal voting is that it gives the LOAFERS
|
||
AND WEAKLINGS the power to TAKE PROPERTY AWAY from PRODUCERS and
|
||
STRONGER PEOPLE, and another unjust thing about equal voting is that
|
||
it gives the LOAFERS AND WEAKLINGS an EASY LIFE (leached) FROM the
|
||
(activities of the) producers and leaders.
|
||
|
||
Self respecting producers will NOT STAND such an injustice for long.
|
||
It is not the producer's fault when one is too weak to MAKE HIS OWN
|
||
LIVING. The producer's life is just as sweet as the weaklings and
|
||
loafers life is to them.
|
||
|
||
All people are independent so you see everybody will have to TAKE
|
||
CARE OF THEMSELVES and IF THEY CANNOT, THEY SHOULD PERISH and the
|
||
sooner they perish THE BETTER IT WILL BE.
|
||
|
||
To be lasting, the government should be built in the same way as the
|
||
Supreme power of the land "the army." Governments have been rising
|
||
and falling but the ARMY ALWAYS REMAINS.
|
||
|
||
You know there is NO EQUALITY IN THE ARMY and so there can be NO
|
||
EQUALITY IN THE STATE; if you are not AN EQUAL PRODUCER YOU CANNOT
|
||
BE AN EQUAL CONSUMER.
|
||

|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Fifty per cent of the people don't want to lead, THEY WANT TO
|
||
FOLLOW. They want somebody else to furnish the money for their
|
||
living expenses and as long as such a condition exists, they are not
|
||
equal with their leaders.
|
||
|
||
That is the reason why everybody should be put in the right place
|
||
according to their physical ability and mental ability.
|
||
|
||
There is only one way to share the National income. It is by
|
||
sharing the production and if you are not producing equally you
|
||
cannot share equally.
|
||
|
||
NOBODY IS PRODUCING ANYTHING FOR OTHERS.
|
||
|
||
THEY ARE PRODUCING ONLY FOR THEMSELVES.
|
||
|
||
People are INDIVIDUALS. For instance, if you want an excitement you
|
||
will have to TEST THE THRILL YOURSELF, or if you have a pain you
|
||
will have to BEAR IT YOURSELF, or if you want to eat, you will have
|
||
to EAT FOR YOURSELF.
|
||
|
||
Nobody can eat for you and so it is that if you want the things to
|
||
eat you will have to produce them YOURSELF and IF YOU ARE TOO WEAK,
|
||
TOO LAZY, LACK MACHINERY and GOOD MANAGEMENT to produce them, YOU
|
||
SHOULD PERISH and that is all there is to it.
|

|
||
Vangard note...
|
||
|
||
Altogether a rather harsh view of life. We cannot deny that it
|
||
does make sense when based on Nature. The strong survive, the
|
||
weak perish or gravitate to their own level.
|
||
|
||
The beauty of such thinking is that it reinforces the idea of
|
||
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
|
||
|
||
That is the single GREATEST FAILURE OF MODERN SOCIETY to take
|
||
into consideration. The great majority of people make excuses
|
||
or try to pass the blame onto something "beyond" their control
|
||
or to another person or group.
|
||
|
||
The Old Testament clearly states "an eye for an eye" while the
|
||
New Testament (see the excellent paper WHATIF on KeelyNet by
|
||
"Indiana Jones") gives the advice to "turn the other cheek."
|
||
|
||
Look at Nature and see how it works (and quite successfully).
|
||
Turn your cheek in a natural environment and it will be
|
||
screwed, ripped off or eaten. You will see that there is
|
||
little room for yielding to or supporting non-productive
|
||
members of a community.
|
||
|
||
Physical and mental abilities should be continually worked on.
|
||
As the Army says, "BE ALL THAT YOU CAN BE." Many people's
|
||
brains are like loose rubber bands lying on a table, no mental
|
||
tension except when FORCED and that sometimes fails.
|
||
|
||
To quote another, "It is EASY to DIE and very hard to live",
|
||
well, by the same token, it is much easier to NOT think,
|
||
because it is "understood" that someone will "compensate" for
|
||
failure through forgiveness or fudging the record.
|
||
|
||
Page 3
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
That way, failures generated from lack of attention or
|
||
concentration are easily excused by "I'm Sorry". Yet it
|
||
happens again and again and again. The New Testament at work.
|
||
|
||
The Japanese do not allow such failures. Although termed
|
||
"heathens" because their particular religious beliefs do not
|
||
coincide with the Christian system, they are nonetheless an
|
||
admirable people.
|
||
|
||
Look at what little they have to work with and how they have
|
||
dominoed it into a highly successful and influential country;
|
||
mostly through the use of their minds and incredible will.
|
||
|
||
The point of this little diatribe is that we should all take
|
||
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for our actions. Stop expecting to be
|
||
forgiven for screwing up.
|
||
|
||
Do not make mistakes and there will be no problem. We will all
|
||
advance and succeed because we WILL not waste time or material
|
||
which requires it to be made up or redone.
|
||
|
||
Mistakes DO HAPPEN. Once is OK, it is a learning process.
|
||
Twice, again OK but needs reinforcement or retraining. Three
|
||
times and there is a problem with the process, the person
|
||
attempting to carry out the process or the teaching method.
|
||
|
||
Much of the civil problems now going on in Dallas are directly
|
||
caused by such LACK OF PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
|
||
|
||
If people are not held ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS, they tend
|
||
to act like rotating wheels slightly out of balance. As they
|
||
continue to rotate with no correction of the slight wobble,
|
||
they become aware of the FAILURE FOR CORRECTION and become ever
|
||
more wobbly (outrageous) in their actions.
|
||
|
||
Eventually, "influences" come into play which tragically or
|
||
"justly" end the situation. Unfortunately, the windows of the
|
||
event are sometimes so wide that we do not see the FINAL
|
||
retribution or compensation. It DOES come about, though not
|
||
ALWAYS within OUR window of observation.
