Before and since posting this “Warning” page, a few private comments have been submitted claiming that Arbitrary Vote harps about the problems of the world, but does not offer hope through proposed solutions.
If you dig deeper within several of the main pages of the website (e.g. industry regulation, healthcare, climate change, etc.) you will find suggestions for solutions; there will be more to come. While specifics are mentioned, the overriding theme of the solution ideas is that it is impossible to find all solutions through one person or single group of people (e.g. the government). Instead, free markets will offer the widest
range of possibilities to most efficiently find the best solutions. Hope lies in the next blossoming of this approach just as it has blossomed many times in world history to provide the greatest periods of economic growth and improvements in living standards our species has ever experienced. The application of this approach includes, but is not limited to: fixing healthcare, solving global warming, regulating the economy, regulating industries, minimizing hunger, etc. It is a system of freedom based on the merit of individuals and their rights to their own private property. It produces the many ideas that improve our living standards and chances of survival as a species.
As it stands, the government is swiftly building on its monopoly on ideas and property, while its citizenry stands by believing it will fashion them into the right solutions. It is implementing a system that has failed every time attempted throughout history. Not only has it failed to produce, but it has ended painfully in all instances. The magnitude of its reach and momentum is overwhelming to any individual wanting it to change. This can easily drain hope from all who realize this.
The Arbitrary Vote website is alerting you of the truth behind the causes and consequences of the problems we face; the biggest problem being our society’s approach to solving problems. It is not up to Arbitrary Vote to find the specific solutions. It is up to each of us, not as a government, but as individuals, to think, work, and create them. This is what has worked in the past, and this is real reason for hope.
With that said, it helps to clearly understand the inherent problems of government, the superior potential of following sound economic principals, and why these contradicting forces make it unlikely to solve major problems. Aside from the introduction to these concepts that Arbitrary Vote provides, deeper understanding can be found through Mises.org, Ron Paul’s Campaign for Liberty, and other suggested organizations, books, and blogs dispersed throughout this website and beyond.
One can live their life each day blindly hoping problems will be solved and things will get better by means of their government. They may be sorely disappointed as have the many in the past who have taken the same route. Wouldn’t your hope be better founded if you took the action to solve the problem yourself?
