News
stories about the "scalping" of tickets at the NCAA Final Four games serves
as a reminder that scalping should be legalized.
As Libertarians say, the purpose of government is only to protect people
and their property from the violence and theft of others.
On the issue of scalping, the government is the hypocritical violator
of the rights of scalpers.
"Scalpers" are merely people who purchase tickets and then resell them
at agreed prices.
The government jails scalpers for reselling their own property, and their
tickets and profits are taken.
At the same time, our government builds socialized sports facilities
with taxes taken from those who object. It is all the complete reverse
of what is right.
Of course the only apparent difference between an illegal "scalper" and
a legal "broker" is a piece of paper - a license bought with a fee paid
to the government.
And the media (with a completely straight face) reports the government
"crackdown" on the "criminals" who scalp tickets, and then reports that ticket
seekers should locate "brokers."
It produces contempt for laws, the government and the media.
There are many people who make a good living "price gouging" through "ticket
scalping" in the profession known as ticket brokering.
Why price gouging is good!
The Malthusian theory was named after English economist the Reverend THOMAS
MALTHUS (1766-1834). A Malthusian catastrophe (or Malthusian check, crisis,
dilemma, disaster, trap, controls, or limit) is a return to subsistence-level
conditions.
A web search for “the Malthusian theory is manifested
only in socialist economies" reveals only 2 results on the web, and 1 result
on newsgroups and they are all to http://rexcurry.net/commentary/earthcharter.html
Web searches for similar phrases (listed at the end) suggest that
http://rexcurry.net may be the only website
revealed in web searches to point out that a socialist economy prevents
it’s population from being able to feed, clothe or shelter itself because
socialism destroys a free market economy. Socialists hide the truth by calling
the problem “overpopulation” and by blaming the poverty on the number of
people that exist, instead of blaming socialism. That also explains
why the socialist trio of the worst atrocities (the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics, the People’s Republic of China, and the National Socialist German
Workers’ Party) caused shortages, poverty, misery, and mass slaughter.

The separation of sport & state is as important as
the separation of school & state. Socialistic sports nerds
engage in emotional masturbation similar to that in the Pledge of
Allegiance. Both forms of emotional masturbation were acquired

From Creative Loafing Newspaper Re: "Tom's "Morning After'" by John
F. Sugg (Feb. 15-21) published 3-29-2001
I just finished reading the article you did about the corrupt ways
of blowhard Tom McEwen. Fascinating stuff, but hardly surpassing. In the
few times I actually wrote to his weekly "Hey Tom" column, he refused
to print my letters. I suspected a huge ego at the time and I was young.
Now I am grown and completely understand the man had more power than most
knew. He couldn't have gotten away with his slanted views if he didn't.
Now I know why. Thanks for making it all clear and a special thank you
for finally playing a part in taking that man out of my life for good.
He was a complete waste of space and time.

RexCurry.net is the originator of the libertarian phrase
"socialistic sports nerds" that describes and condemns fanatics
who support taxes and government in sports. On October 6, 2003,
a google search for the quoted phrase "socialistic sports nerds" and
"socialistic sports nerd." There were about twenty hits
on both the web and on newsgroups, and they were all attributed to RexCurry.net.
The oldest reference was from 1997.
The catchphrase helps explain this axiom: If they support
socialism for sports entertainment, then they will support socialism
for anything. The separation of sport and state is as important
as the separation of church and state.
Newspapers often rhapsodize the lives of sports "greats."
Never has any sports hero repeatedly and publicly denounced
government involvement in sports. If they support socialism
for sports entertainment then they will support socialism for ANYTHING.
Socialistic sports nerds engage in emotional masturbation
similar to that in the Pledge of Allegiance. Both forms of emotional
masturbation were acquired in government schools (socialist schools).
Seen on the web: If you went to see England college station
soccer at Wembley, you could observe people around you making the
Nazi salute during the national anthem, and abuse of black players,
even those playing for the home. It is sad to note that it sounds
like the USA not long after the Pledge of Allegiance was created in 1892.
The Pledge was created by a self-described socialist who
supported "military socialism." He wanted all of society to
ape the military.
The National Socialist German Workers' Party was influenced
by America's Pledge of Allegiance, its military socialism, and by American
football games.
Today, there are even football teams that represent branches
of the military and their cadets. A recent Army-Navy game included
cut-away shots to soldiers in a foreign country in the current war
in which the President is being beaten and humiliated. The soldiers
were cheering for their respective football "teams." The war that
the soldiers had been forced to fight in had many parallels to the football
game that they were watching and to all NFL cities and NFL games.
Most socialistic sports nerds are Democrat-socialists
or Republican-socialists. No one expects Democrat-socialists or
Republican-socialists to act on principle. When either "team" controls
both houses of Congress (and/or the presidency) fanatical behavior
occurs. Blind team loyalty brought six years of unbridled growth in
the federal government's size and scope under Republican-socialists.
Blind team loyalty in sports brings new taxes for socialized stadiums
and discrimination against all other sports.
The old political parties are bizarre. Understanding the
world, though rewarding, provides nothing like the pleasures of a
"Two Minute Hate," a focused, ritualized denunciation of enemies. To
induce its own Two Minute Hates, the old parties, like Ingsoc in 1984,
manufacture bogeymen such as "special interests," "judicial activists,"
"so-called realists," or "moral relativists" that become symbolic representations
of detested outsiders. Meanwhile, like the Inner Party in 1984, the
leaders in the old parties tolerate the more vulgar, angry purveyors
of ideology -think talk-show hosts or authors of bestselling political
books. The most vicious attacks, meanwhile, are reserved for turncoats,
like Goldstein in 1984. (Of course, as many old party members could attest,
the hatred is usually mutual.) Rooting for dogma is as engrossing to its
partisans as rooting for the local football team is to its fans.
People like a good war like they like a good football game.
But they forget the score of last year's game and don't appreciate
past performance. So they'll forget last year's war just as easily EXCEPT
if it drags on. The American people like a war that we're not clearly
winning and that drags on about as much as they like a football game in
which their team is not winning that drags on past dinnertime. They don't
appreciate such a war any more than they appreciate such a football game.
Politicians thought they were bringing the American people a good thing
by waging war in the middle east.
You can be a capitalist quaterback in the superbowl against
socialism. Join the team. The score so far: LIBERTARIANS 23, SOCIALISTIC
SPORTS NERDS 3. Defeat the sports-crazed socialists. Don't fumble the
ball. Tell everyone "I am a team player, but I play for the better
team." Socialistic sports nerds are bad sports.
Does Fandom Breed Establishment Loyalists?
I love sports. So Michael writes to me and rants about the ridiculously
fanatical fan fever for sports teams and how that annoys him. He believes
sports fervor is a form of nationalism that breeds loyalty to the establishment.
I can certainly sympathize with his point.
But I've always thought that the bizarre notion of American school
spirit is a form of quasi-nationalism, if you will. It seems to breed
similar loyalty on a larger scale as these types typically come to worship
the state as much as their alma mater. Going to a small, private college,
I've always disliked the extremist college fervor from alumni that has
them worshipping everything about their former place of "learning." At
50 years old, college is still the one thing they want to talk about all
the time. I used to be forced to go out to lunch with my
audit team when I was working in public accounting and working out of the
office on client audits. (Team-building, don't you know.) There were two
main topics of conversation that sprang forth from these otherwise intelligent,
educated people: TV shows and college (alma mater) worship. It drove me
nuts. Nowadays, if people do that in my company, I just start surfing the
web on my Palm Smartphone.
Talking about the good old days at college as if they were the
only days. Seems a bit bizarre to me.
