All this talk of reform at all level's a myth for there is no incentive for change Money talks, B.S. walks, and unfortunately a fair shake's been priced out of our range But don't fret, keep the faith as I'm sure you all know Washington has our interest at heart Taking most of the pay from the few left employed with the middle supporting two parts In the top echelon, from whose giddying heights power flows in an endless supply At the opposite end, with their arms outstretched wide takers left with no reason to try A political joke's the unfortunate truth one need only to look to see why in this greatest of lands those who make all the rules are the finest that money can buy |

You have expresses the truth so well.  “All this talk of reform at all level's a myth Money talks, B.S. walks  Washington has our interest at heart the middle supporting two parts greatest of lands those who make all the rules are the finest that money can buy” Truly “(Washington Style)”  ---------------------------------------------------------------- When is enough, enough? Civil war? Police state? Martial Law imposed? Suspension of Habeas Corpus? Suspension of, The Constitution and Declaration of Independence; and Bill of Rights? There will be a reset of the economy, capital, national borders, and personal rights coming soon to a theater near you. Habeas Corpus “”Latin for "you [shall] have the body," is the name of a legal action or writ by means of which detainees can seek relief from unlawful imprisonment. The Suspension Clause of the United States Constitution specifically included the English common law procedure in Article One, Section 9, clause 2, which demands that "The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it."”” ~ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habeas_corpus_in_the_United_States Martial Law The imposition of military rule by military authorities over designated regions on an emergency basis—(usually) only temporary—when the civilian government or civilian authorities fail to function effectively (e.g., maintain order and security, and provide essential services), when there are extensive riots and protests, or when the disobedience of the law becomes widespread. In most cases, military forces are deployed to quiet the crowds, to secure government buildings and key or sensitive locations, and to maintain order. ~http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_Law Enjoyed!! JL  Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. Maranatha! |

JL, Thanks, but I'm afraid you may be missing the humor in this, gallows humor though it may be. The funny part is, we've known for years what the problem is, yet have only paid it lip service and allowed it to continue unabated. Woo hoo ! What a hoot! I certainly didn't sign on to have my future traded by a bunch of crooks, but apparently I had no say in the matter ( and yes, I do vote ).I think I can understand the nebulous nature of the occupy Wall Street movement and other protests popping up on our "fair" planet. You can only feed a man just so much crap before he realizes what he's eating, and it doesn't leave a very good taste in his mouth either. Darn, I thought I got rid of that soapbox, lol. Doc |

Yeah, Mr. Your humor was so deep I couldn't get there from the surface. But I have the audacious propensity to pull out words from what others say and sermonize on them, or vent with them, my total frustration of the way some people are so darn uninformed - that it's not funny. However, I did, and do, enjoy your humor, some venting must be done, on my part anyway, a balance to my verve. Oh, there I go again... Thanks #1 You are a PIP!  JL Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

JL, LOL, by all means feel free to pull words and vent all you want. The "pre-poetry" Dr. Moose was actually known on occasion to stand on a stump in his front yard and rant non stop for ten minutes straight ( timed, of course ) at passers by in a residential neighborhood. Not really wanting to be institutionalized, I started writing, and, fifteen or so years later find I've traded a stump for a virtual soapbox. Now that's funny, lol. Doc |

I have great admiration for stump-jumpers and soap-boxers bellowing their agitation. As long as they don't poop on cop cars, and occupy my freedom causing the government to take undesirable action against the entire population. That's all the excuse the powers that be need to remove hard fought for rights, and liberty. Once gone, gone forever.  JL Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

Thank you James, not my usual fare by any means, but the injustices being done to this country and its people by its leaders are inexcusable. Doc |
