The real question we need to be asking ourselves is who’s shaking the jar and why?

Reads like you want yet another conspiracy theory to explain things as opposed accepting reality. Okay then, grey aliens are using the planet as a big experiment provoking all of the problems and issues pervading humanity and when they are done they will wipe the planet clean and start over. They did it with the dinosaurs and we're next - that asteroid passing close by is just getting into alignment and another test.

Or maybe it's just that the majority of humnaityh is still highly immature and just trying to grow up w/o killing itself off.

They all do have the same goal - to get re-elected. That's all that matters to them and why few ever understand that is hard to fathom.

Instead of just making up rubbish it's much simpler to just remember: The goal of government, you see, is to load the unhappiness unto those least able to make you suffer for it.

[robert.]

Yes. And the role of the people is to eat it up.

That's a pretty low, damning opinion of your government.

Sorry, couldn't resist. I agree by the way.

As has been pointed out or mentioned several times money is behind everything in government. Probably always has been and always will be.
The money may have different sources at times but the goal always seems to be the same. Make more money.

1) Not my quote.

2) It's not applied to my Gov't, but rather it's a general statement that applies to all Gov'ts. No exceptions that I am aware of so far.

3) Being true, understanding that goal of Gov't as early as possible makes your life a lot easier; you set your bars of expectation differently and realistically, and you plan your life differently.

Man, she's got that by the barrel.

I love Railbox:



Used to run a string of thirty of them on the old N-gauge pike...looked impressive.
