EM BURLINGAME: [Liberal democracy] is riddled right through with this concept, an idea that we need to forgive everybody and leave it up to the state to punish them. Well, how's that been going?

Unless you remove these people who will not be removed without force, it's a 40-to-60-year process and it probably won't happen because they're not going to give you that kind of time.  They're living very well off of this abusive system all over.  --EM Burlingame

My suspicion is that we are watching the end of liberal democracy, and why? Because it is riddled right through with this concept, an idea that we need to forgive everybody and leave it up to the state to punish them.  Well, how's that been going?  And how exactly are we going to fix that, by becoming a moral righteous people who are all Christian again?  Unless you remove these people who will not be removed without force, it's a 40-to-60-year process and it probably won't happen because they're not going to give you that kind of time.  They're living very well off of this abusive system all over.  So, to me, the focus for me now and very much to what you articulating is the young men because they are the asset of the land.  The physical violence capacities of young men are the only real asset.  So, okay, how do we healthily, correctly develop that capacity in young men?  Well, to do that there's a whole lot of other things that young men need to learn in order to control that violence, particularly well developed capacities for violence.  And when I look back historically there are, not too long, there are some very solid models for that.  And one of them is Knighthood, and the path to Knighthood, and the journey to Knighthood, and the responsibilities of Knighthood . . .
