If we had a genuine stampede, perhaps some useless twats would be trampled to death in the process.<br /><br />Bottom line? We have succeeded in electing both a President and a Congress who are incapable of achieving anything for the public good. All they do is guarantee their own paid continuation. <br /><br />We do not pay them to accompish nothing: we pay them to work on our behalf and for our betterment. If anyone is elected to public office and fails in that regard, they should be removed, post haste, no questions asked. Enough with the polite and clever commentary: they are useless.Ivan Hentschelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669238942080921290.post-66080959689159425352010-02-22T08:13:07.874-08:002010-02-22T08:13:07.874-08:00During a stampede the herdees herd the herders.During a stampede the herdees herd the herders.Case Wagenvoordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10598177456573356261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669238942080921290.post-4604067112357659062010-02-22T07:43:47.011-08:002010-02-22T07:43:47.011-08:00Anyone who attempts to think of life in terms of &...Anyone who attempts to think of life in terms of "herding cats' is clearly looking at life through a spyglass backwards,where large is small, small is large, up is down and vice-versa. It is an impossible proposition.<br /><br />We are herded, rather (by virtue of our own folly and lack of attention to detail), like cattle, as evidenced by the story (just this morning) that, although the new credit card law has gone into effect, it is still os full of gaps and loopholes that any mediocre banker could drive an 18-wheeler through...to our detriment and for their profit, compliments of our our legislature. <br /><br />And then there is the Obama-Reid_Pelosi health care public option scam, whereby it was briefly raised from the dead to falsely raise everyone's hopes, only to be disclosed as still a corpse, while private insurance rates remain tantamount to public rape of the middle class. (I think Obama has confused bipartisanship with cat-herding).<br /><br />A simpler question ought to be raised: just exactly how much profit is enough and for whom? This is the essential wedge being driven between the tops and bottoms of the populace.Ivan Hentschelnoreply@blogger.com
