The Economic Libertarian

I live in an apartment. I share it with someone else. We have three chairs for use with the computers. They’re all quite decent. I particularly dislike one of them. He particularly dislikes one of them. Yet somehow, it turns out that those two are the only ones we use. You see, it turns out our tastes are mirrored.

If you gave us a list of the chairs and had us ‘pick two’, there’d be one vote for the chair I like, one vote for the chair he likes, and two votes for the chair we both tolerate. Somehow it’s the chair we tolerate that we end up not using. Our appreciation of our respective favorite chairs outweighs our agreement on the compromise chair.

I keep wanting to read a political analogy into this. I’m having trouble making it fit. After all, there are two of us, and thus we pick two chairs. We don’t vote on it, we just each pick (and get) our favorite. If we had to pick one chair, we’d likely go with the compromise chair, but that’d be silly. There’s no reason for two people to limit themselves to one chair.

The third chair got put into a corner and forgotten about, if anyone’s wondering.

• I regard as my primary obligation the welfare of the White individual, White family, and White community and will engage in action for improving social conditions.
• I give precedence to this mission over my personal interest.
• I adopt the concept of a White extended family and embrace all White people as my brothers and sisters, making no distinction between their destiny and my own.
• I hold myself responsible for the quality and extent of service I perform and the quality and extent of service performed by the agency or organization in which I am employed, as it relates to the White community.
• I accept the responsibility to protect the White community against unethical and hypocritical practice by any individual or organizations engaged in social welfare activities.
• I stand ready to supplement my paid or professional advocacy with voluntary service in the White public interest.
• I will consciously use my skills, and my whole being as an instrument for social change, with particular attention directed to the establishment of White social institutions.

This is Satire. Sadly, I’m referring to my post, rather than the link.

1. stopping unnecessary out-of-home placements;
2. reunification of children with parents;
3. placing children of European ancestry with relatives or unrelated families of the same face and culture for adoption;
4. addressing the barriers that prevent or discourage persons of European American ancestry from adopting;
5. promoting culturally relevant agency practices;
6. emphasizing that ‘transracial adoption of a European American child should only be considered after documented evidence of unsuccessful same race placements has been reviewed and supported by appropriate representatives of the European American community’

Once again, my post is Satire. Find what I’m satirizing under the link.

I’m sure the NABSW is very sincere in their efforts. They also seem a bit bigoted. Our culture is very odd indeed… Why such fixation on skin color and ancestry?
