Isn’t it so wonderful how the “dragons” make the poors dance for their shekels? Isn’t it so glorious when they toss their scraps at them and watch as they scramble like a bunch of animals? Doesn’t it make you feel so warm inside when they make the little dark children smile while they throw their pennies and pity at their faces? Is this what our society has become? Are we so distracted by our own personal struggles that we can not see that someone is pissing in our faces? We need to wake up now. Human beings are not born to be slaves. They are made slaves by deception and coercion. It needs to stop now.

Communication and Democracy
Democracy can not exist without communication. Communication happens by listening first, then thinking, then speaking. This is not what is happening in the legislatures of the great powers today. This is not what is happening in the news media. This is not what is happening on the social media sites. All I can hear is the shouting of empty, destructive rhetoric. This is not good for Democracy.
Wage War
I am a capitalist, make no mistakes. However, I think that the plutocrats in this country are more anarchist than capitalist. True capitalism requires reason and a nuanced understanding of and respect for humanity as a whole. The people who caused the 2008 financial crisis are animals with no respect for law and order or any human beings but themselves. These plutocrats have become something equivalent to the monarchs that existed prior to WWI. Many people toil for forty, or sixty, or eighty hours a week providing essential services to society yet they are unable to provide a healthy living for their families. All the while, the plutocrats take the benefits of their labor and piss it away on insane luxuries and the occasional charity to make themselves feel better about robbing humanity. This is a recipe for war. Hopefully reason will prevail. I think that the article in the Chicago Tribune entitled “Activists at MLK event tie equality to wages” points to a positive approach to the problem.
Violence vs Sex
You know what’s really sad: the word “decapitation” shows up on my phone in a few letters. I have to type out “pornography” letter by letter. What does that say about us?
