Sorry JOG,.. I got wound up...
What I'm saying is the alignment of these things into conspiracies, isn't the conspirators...
It is the media that makes it's living from it,... that knit this sweater...
Rich people are out to get richer...
Politicians do take monies for favors...
Many people act in selfish ways, and don't care about anyone else...
... but,.. the threading together of these acts into conspiracy is a fiction...
Recently we were all accused of conspiring to sell Modified camchain adjusters...
We were a group of strangers all seeming to work as one, against a helpless person in need... trying to force him to one conclusion... That it be our way,.. and there is no other option...
...It turns out we were right,... and our actions were not nefarious, but sincere and helpful...
But, it was perceived differently...
To his mind, we weren't a bunch of helpful individuals... We were a group that conspired to manipulate, and make profit from every hapless victim that came our way...
Same facts, but a different narrative...
I think there are good and decent people that want to make a better world,... and others that just want the best they can get and to heck with everyone else...
I am a liberal and a Democrat, because I think the wealthy have shirked there duty to the people that they make their living from... i.e., their workers and customers...
If they aren't going to do their part voluntarily... then, I think government has to step in and do for them, and do it with their money... because that money came from the hard labor of people that have had these things taken away from them...
Cost of living has gone up for decades... and the working class and the poor have not seen their money keep up...
Meanwhile the rich have more than ever...
The working class,.. now drives older cars, shops at dollar stores and trift shops, and will never be able to retire... and the rich have seen incomes go up 100 fold...
The balance is gone... the rich won... and they purchased this victory on the backs of people they should be thankful to..
Rant over...
JMHO...
Sorry,
Peace,
Serow
