The root of “equitable” is expediency

For those like myself; who think that it is ethics that gives a government legitimacy – there’s none to be found these days. It’s a game of “give” and “take” in which our government will end up by taking all. • And it’s not just expediency in the little things; but in the basics – a foundation built on expediency is all about selling; not security. It’s about buying on credit; without a thought for those who will have to pay in the future – or what the final cost will turn out to be. • In a society brought up to ask “who?” not “what?”: when they’re told that sacrifices must be made – and to see everything in terms of how it can be used to personal advantage – “expediency” is a lie; then use of force; then desperation.
