Upping our Standards
When I learned about the North Korean philosophy called "juche" I was intrigued. Juche is a philosophy of self sufficiency.
i am a libertarian slowly evolving into an anarcho-capitalist but I can appreciate self sufficiency, even from from folks who I do not agree with on every detail. Juche can also be interpreted as "screw you [I'll do it myself]"
So what do I really mean when I say "UP YOURS?"
UP - (verb) cause to be increased
YOURS - (noun) that which belongs to you
Up Yours means self sufficiency. If you need something, do everything you can to provide it to yourself. You need flour, grind your own grain. You need grain, grow it.
Up Yours means seek to increase the prosperity of those close to you. You need seed to get started, get it from a local instead of the just in time delivery system. Instead of printing your book in China, where you will get it at half price, print with your local printer who might actually have a job for you if that book isn't an instant bestseller.
Up Yours means use your resources to support those who share your values. If someone does not share your values, don't share your money.
And if you have a problem with any of this . . . ↑YOURS
Up Yours!

If People would Study the Constitutution, they would KNOW that it basically says'You Are On Your Own!" Unfortunately, the Original concept has been corrupted, so You can't do anything without "permission" now, from the Government! We are squarely to Blame for Allowing this to Happen! Nice post by the way!
Jefferson's ideal citizen was the independent yeoman farmer. He took care of his own needs fully and did not try to bother his neighbor. We are literally living in the world Jefferson did not want and took the trouble to warn us about.
People love the entertaining lie.. And hate the boring truth.
I agree, whole heartedly, my friend! All We Want is to Work, Succeed, and Be Happy!
