"The World is a Prettier Place Now"

This is a story many people would find truly remarkable. Just a few days ago, a Polish man named Jan Grzebska who'd been in a coma for nearly 2 decades, since before the breakup of the USSR and the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe, suddenly woke up (as you do). He's woken up to a better world.

...And it's not just me saying that. She herself said that "the world is a prettier place now", and she is particularly impressed by the range of food in Polish supermarkets.

What's in a name?

Ahhh, our names. The greatest benchmark of our individuality invented.

So, what made names so great? What began as a simple "identifier" of different people has today blossomed into the single greatest symbol of individuality. After all, numbers can identify someone. Why not use them?

As a matter of fact, they've already been tried. Mao used them during his reign of terror in China, mostly for the peasants. The system didn't work. They destroyed any sense of individuality, and any sense of self-pride (communist nations have a tendency to do so). Human moral declined. After all, you were merely a "number". Not a human, a statistic.

It is because of the individuality that comes in our names that we have a sense of self pride. The name is the best word to desribe ourselves, because it encompasses all our achievements and puts them all in one word.

Therefore, names are the grandest benchmarks of individuality ever invented.

"Money doesn't buy you happiness". Or does it?

"Money doesn't buy you happiness" is a common catch-phrase used by members of the left. It is used to (supposedly) tell people that money is never ever going to make you happy.

I partially agree with that. Money, by itself, is a worthless material. However, this worthless material is currency in every nation in the world. Therefore, money can be used to buy goods, services, and probably most importantly when it comes to happiness, experiences.

So, because money can buy you these goods, services and experiences, it is a necessary, if worthless, material. You need money to travel the world. You need money to buy the beautiful house on the hill. You need money to do just about anything.

Because you need money to do these things that make us happy, money does actually buy us happiness.

Also, another stupid part of their argument is the belief that people in the Third World-people that literally live in cardboard boxes, eat off the ground, and have to walk a total of perhaps 20 miles a day just to get water for their families are just as happy, if not happier, than us in the Western World. Yet, it is the left that runs most of the campaigns for more aid to the Third World. How are they happy if they need money? The thing that doesn't help at all for getting a better life?

Therefore, the left contradicts their policies of aid to the Third World and welfare to the poor in the West when it makes this argument. They are only contradicting their other worthless policies and beliefs (it is well known that production, not aid and welfare, is better at getting the poor out of poverty, amongst many smart people. The left completely ignores this in their policies of aid and welfare).
