"Free Market" and "Freedom To Consume" ....... both selfish lies and rationalizations .......... too bad the human race will fail because it seeks not a higher state of consciousness ....
And unfortunately for most, it only takes the right conditions/history and legitimization by the govt/culture to justify it release.
"The perfectly coiffed politician is under arrest, sunk by his own vanity. But what did you expect? He's an Illinois governor"
And what are we to infer from this statement about Illinois politicians in general and Illinois congressmen in particular ???
Men pay women - either prostitutes or "dates" (who they still have to pay thru movies, meals, time, etc) to take clothes off ...... not put them on ...... you fools ....
Sex is between the ears ....... and the imagination is a great driving force.
Thru the 50's, the largest exposure a male could get to sex (other than his wife or girlfriend) was thru Playboy and that was breasts only.
Nude and semi-nude bodies are now everywhere from porn on the internet to Victoria's Secret Primetime shows.
Curiosity and imagination have been crushed by the onslaught.
A more "Puritan" atmosphere would bring back the "mystique" of sex.
Can destroy and cleanse the corrupt self-serving edifice of American politics.
No matter what you do to it ......
Leaving the US investment scene and planning to invest approx the same amt we are investing in the bailout on infrastructure ....... placing them far ahead of us in their modernizing of their roads, electrical grids, mass transit, etc ...... something of use to the people ....
While we invest in bailing out a bunch of criminals who filled their bank accounts when things were good and now expect to receive a good portion of what little is left for more diversion into their pockets ....
If the Congress had done the right thing to start with and bailed out nobody ......... then no one would be arguing about who should be bailed out.
These bastards who profited from their leverage games (and have hundreds of millions in their bank accounts to prove it) were bailed out ...... in China, they would have probably been arrested, stripped of their assets, tried in public and hanged.
Too bad the USA is more corrupt than China.
Has gone mad ....... and there's not enough zoloft or xanax to turn it around .....
