Today we're going to beat a dead horse and talk about the acts of depravity that are killing our country.

According to tradition, there are seven deadly sins: Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, Pride. We have a group of individuals who have taken gluttony, greed, envy and pride to levels previously reserved for mythological sociopaths like King Midas.

If these people were reveling in lust instead, we'd all be dying from syphilis right now, and the streets and sanitation department would be buried under used condoms and drowning in bodily fluids. But because it's greed and such, they've been allowed to get away with it.

We've all complained about the injustice of CEO, seemingly more incompetent than not, making 400 or more times the salary of their employees. Nothing happened.

We voiced concerns over "golden parachutes" and exorbitant bonuses to no avail.

We cautioned against housing bubbles and environmental impacts and God knows what else, but nobody does a damn thing. Even now, we are bailing them out in an effort to avoid our own demise.

We're not helpless, you know. There are more of us than there are of them. Gradually, "we the people" are going to fight back. One of "us" already is. We should lend people like that our support.

Maybe this revolution won't require armed violence, but instead we all just refuse to give in to their demands. What if we all developed our own regional economies, utilizing what we had available as far as food and energy sources was concerned? What if we had a labor-based rather than capital-based economy? Just because the currently wealthy's kingdom of make-believe is crashing down around their shoulders doesn't mean our world is collapsing.



Screw you, King Friday! Suck it up and learn a trade or do something useful for a change.
