Contributing to Society The idea persists, folks: if your chosen field remains the realm of singer, musician, actor, writer or poet... you are not contributing, but taking! Now here are examples of noble professions: politician, lawyer, businessman, banker... and to some lesser extent, doctor, dentist, engineer, designer; architect or teacher. Is it still believed that these people contribute the most to society? Well, obviously, that must be true: income levels say it all! And so, blue collar workers, plumbers, bus drivers, technicians, carpenters, handymen and janitors to name a few deserve little but the left-overs... But woe unto you if you happen to fall even below the level of the janitor collecting some form of social assistance: a handicap pension, unemployment benefits or perhaps that lowest of all places: receiving the shameful welfare cheque. Get a job, bum! Say the people echoing their government’s lies that the nation is in debt because of lazy welfare types! What woeful ignorance these mindless drones display. Who are the ones who steal from society? Look up, not down: look up there to those ivory towers of power: there are your thieves, folks. |

Well, WW. It would appear that that reality is becoming abundantly clear to everyone, in short order, these days. I don't know if people really understand what is about to happen yet... but they will. Ida |

effective 'reality therapy'! 'exploitation of the masses' by the few...the totally self-referential...is a hallmark of human history. The "Runaway American Dream" is an economic caste system ['haves'/'have-nots'] in which the gap between the (economically delimited) 'classes' has likely never been larger...under what may be the most unconscionably abominable political administration conceivable in a former 'democracy' which has sadly devolved into a corporate 'mediocracy' at best. applause for this 'penning'! |
