My personal ideal political system
would be a democracy in which votes are weighed based upon the amount
of income tax one pays. Corporations would not be granted citizenship
in this arena. Only real human beings, but their voting power would
be based upon their contribution to the society within which they are
voting and the value they provide. This solves the problem of
democracy within which the lazy and incompetent vote to rob the
competent and willing.
I know plenty will object and say I
am a horrid beast, but none of value to me. Why would I say such a
mean and nasty thing? Simple, many will argue that well I'm an artist
and nobody wants to buy my works so you are condemning art. You're
wrong, I love art. Good art that is, and I have shelled out thousands
in my appreciation of it in commissions.
Many believe that elitism is defined
simply by stating that they are elite. If one is elite there is no
need to tell others because exception is obvious. I must remind these
deluded fools that everything is relative. To compare yourself to
yourself only demonstrates an ability to improve. Elite is absolutely
a relative term by definition and as such must be taken in comparison
to others, competition if you will.
Some will cry and say well I'm elite
because I continually improve. No! (Boyd Influence Though I am
Waiting on The Book to Arrive) That does not fucking cut it since
elite is a relative term. While competition with ones self is great,
I have a term for it. It's called practice. I've spent plenty of time
competing with myself on the MX track when I was young, the entirety
of the effort was to improve my skill to better throw roost in the
face of my competitors, the same on the football field, the same
today with my golf game, and that is the reason I continue to study
math and engineering, now more than anything in the greatest
competition I have ever competed. (Commercial Engineering)
LaVey states that enemies are
necessary for glory. This is precisely what he is talking about. I
have always honed myself for competition, there are those who are my
superiors who best me, they are inspirations to try harder that I may
eventually best them, they inspire me just as much as those who I
have defeated in reward of victory. They continually become more
scarce with increased effort I invest in my game. There are also
those who are incompetent, who I tend to ignore because they offer no
glory in victory.
Some will say well I'm an artist and
I am my sole critic. Sorry but I am a pragmatists so try and defend
an empty belly any way you wish at the end of the day it cannot be
defended if one accepts the fundamental objective of life as not
dying. Kind of like someone in the hunter gatherer days who chooses
to make their way by picking inedible flowers. No use to anyone under
the circumstances. I thinks a Satanic artist either produces works
which will put food on the table or resigns art to a hobby and is a
full and well enough developed person to find a way to excel in life
even if it isn't their first choice of a career. A hunter gatherer
who does neither is useless baggage in a practical sense and since
the meaning of life is not dying, they fail. Art is great, but never
of more value than the artist.
To Quote Gwar, Martyrdumb.
On a side note I came from nothing,
grew up with everyone turning their nose up at me and it was really
tough. Broke my heart being looked down upon as a dirty son of a
drunken farmer who I loved so much and still do.

Beavery
