“If America is circling the drain, Goldman Sachs has found a way to be that drain — an extremely unfortunate loophole in the system of Western democratic capitalism, which never foresaw that in a society governed passively by free markets and free elections, organized greed always defeats disorganized democracy” –Matt Tiabbi from “The Great American Bubble Machine”

I can’t believe we helped scum bankers. Employees are making an average of $600,000 already at Goldman.

This clearly explains how Golden Sachs owns America.

I’m not sure if fireworks are analogous to bombs. Fireworks don’t exercise power. Bombs do, and power can result in a more productive economy.

I think it can be well argued that government is precisely the will of the people, however disillusioned that may be. The government is that hired judge and executioner. You might not want them, but the people say otherwise.

What I find most frightening about Biden’s comments are that he either 1) completely forgot that he is the Vice President of the United States or 2) automatically supports all decisions made by Israel.

After what happened following 9/11, I think the United States would hold incredibly stringent requirements for determining the necessity of war. When it comes to war, I think hands-off, nodding politicians are the last thing we need.

I have been looking looking around for this kind of information. Will you post some more in future? I’ll be grateful if you will.

If one were contemplating suicide, a good way to go about it would be to climb a difficult mountain, with difficult holds and sheer drops. If one is to die, the spectacular views on the way down would be ideal last things to see.

But it’s likely the person contemplating suicide will find him/her self digging in and holding on for dear life — and then realizing that life is indeed dear.

Thanks for the post.

Thank you Arthor for this compelling log of inevitable struggle. You’ve reminded my dark hours of the whispering glow that kindles even the deepest sufferer’s reflection. Yes, pain is natural and it is necessary, but it is not incessant! (Does that make it cessant?) We must motivate our smothering norms with faith in exception and growth; drive with our thoughts, nourish with our laughter, and live inside of our dreams and creations and open hearts. Keep up the great work!
