Are We Free?

[Octafish]

If there are two standards of Justice,
that serving those with money
and that preying upon those without,
how can there be even a single, true Law?



Freedom would be impossible,
as one group is subjugated to the other.
Perhaps only more than Knowledge,
Money is Power.

You may enjoy some of them.

5. Read about them? We're living them.

Reagan and Bushes lower taxes on the Swells.
Red Ink benefits deepest pockets from Dubai to Beijing.
Wendy Gramm deregulates natural resources.
Phil Gramm helps move loot to Switzerland.

I can't wait for the next Ice Age.

2. Is that Neal Bush? Criminal.

I seriously think that those people look upon the rest of us as chattel.

His buddy there is Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky.



Almost as nice a friend to have as Rev. Moon.

11. So when do we get out "Piece of the action"?

Gene Roddenberry was the genius of a generation, followed by J. Michael Straczynski, IMO.

4. Justice ...

Justice is the only worship.
Love is the only priest.
Ignorance is the only slavery.
Happiness is the only good.
The time to be happy is now,
The place to be happy is here,
The way to be happy is to make others so.

12. Amen. And thank you for reminding me.

Truly, only the Educated are Free.

From another teacher:

"The love of liberty is the love of others; the love of power is the love of ourselves." -- William Hazlitt (1778 - 1830)

13. Are we free ?

In the land of the fee and the home of the slave, some pigs ARE more equal than ALL the rest.

14. Many say the neo-cons are just feudalists, but I disagree, I think manoralists is more fitting.
