winds of change...

At least that’s what I hope I’m feeling breezing against my cheek. There is expectancy in the air today; tomorrow may be a turning point in our common lives... when we take some measure of control back from our fascist state, start taking care of the other 99% of us... let the guilded 1% fend for themselves (not that that’s likely to happen; it never has before; they’ve always prospered off the backs of laborers and slaves, and anyone else they could exploit, with their hired Gestapo’s to enforce their wills).

Ooh…, am I sounding a little testy, or even radical... NOT NEARLY RADICAL ENOUGH! I’m sorry, but no company is “too big to fail.” And the sooner the better for most of them. The leaders of said companies should not be rewarded in any way, in fact they should be punished...severely.

In early Native American traditions (Navajo for example), the worst, highest evil of all was GREED. And ... sorry... but “leveraging other peoples money” or the “equity” in your home so you buy more stuff, or property, or whatever is GREED of the highest order. So, all involved should get what they deserve... and that’s not a government bailout. Ah, but this is all old BS already, and with any luck, or anything like justice, we have reached a point where things will begin to favor those who actually do the work, provide the "P" product in GNP...

We shall see...
