And the simple truth is that those people need to go if we want to change for the better. We need to weed the garden. It's harsh, but nobody told them to be selfish j3rkoffs. That was their call. Arrogant families will need to be "disappeared". The only injustice in that is that they victimized their children by having them and passing on their superior garbage. How much money or schooling they have is besides the point. Oligarchical democracy is a lie. We aren't better off because we vote, we're better off cause we're wealthy.
Interesting you bring up Aristotle. I was just reading about how the Athenians drew lots for public servant positions to avoid becoming too polarized. They were afraid professional government servants would use those skills for self benefit. So they decided the average citizen was better for the offices of government. They drew lots to see who would be a judge, who would be a treasurer etc etc. Obviously some jobs couldn't be done by unskilled labor and eventually the whole system evolved back into an oligarchy. Personally I disagree with Robert Michels Iron Law of Oligarchy. We can work together and not sh1t on each other but we will have to change our nature to do this. And we've already started, a long time ago. Freedom of speech and everyone having a say is all good in theory but there are times when certain ideas need to be removed from the public consciousness as best as possible. My utopia does NOT have everyone running around doing whatever they want, good intentions or otherwise. People are not all equal and therefor total equality is NOT possible. But we can come close and at least give everybody the dignity and respect they deserve by giving everyone a fair shot at taking care of themselves. Except for those that take advantage of huge masses of people,like I said before, they need to go.
And some stupid people are great leaders who lead men off a cliff. Clearly he meant smart people with leadership skills. Not just people with high IQ's. The smartest people are usually the most disfunctional. They understand too much. Whereas the average cat does get bogged down in the specifics like that. That's psych 101 sh1t right there.
Taqiyya is no trick! It is only foolish people who are tricked by the deception.
One judges a man by his action and deeds!
Actually it is similar to politicians who say they are for most Americans but they vote with the .00001%, ,or those politicians who claim they believe in freedom of choice for themselves but want to deny choice for others who have different views! No difference in my book! A trick is a trick is a trick!!!!! Tricks are for fools and ignorant and stupid people and that's a fact!
its all a trick to me. in regards to religion and someone trying to covert others and people begin to call others stupid, foolish, or even gullible indicates to me you might be one of them who believe its ok to trick, fool, or deceive to get someone to believe in your god. if i am wrong, my bad........ I still say **** RELIGION. its for fanatics.Taqiyya is no trick! It is only foolish people who are tricked by the deception.

however, i do believe all will come to know religion is no bueno in due time. everyone isn't on the same spiritual level. i believe the sheading of the connection to organized religion you will come to truly know spirituality. not all the mystical bs......true spirituality.
ALL RELIGION on earth is going to face a instant extinction upon the admittance of alien life in the universe.

Hung Sing Boyz, we gottit on lock down

I don't think anyone should have nuclear weapons or wmd of any sort.
Those that do have it should reduce what they have until it is all utterly eliminated in the name of humanity. And no one should be starting to make more. No one.
So, it falls with the ones who have made the error already to correct it in themselves and to have the know how and power to prevent it from happening with others.
I don't feel equanimity applies whatsoever when it comes to this.
Kung Fu is good for you.

There is a huge disconnect between those running government and the people that voted them in.
We are talking almost at the level of Marie Antonette.
Being a lawyers qualififes you to debate and discuss and implement Laws, it does not qualify to you run a country or city, to do finace or anything to do with health care.
Lawyers in the "legal" branches of government, sure, that is who should be there.
Running a country? No, not even close.
Especially not any of the lawyers I know, LOL !

Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
Guy, have you seen who sits in the Houses of Parliament?
I would like to demand that we have a better quality of mind in any of those chairs.
For an individual to have put forth the 4 to 6 years to get to the bar and including the amount of mental ability required to get there I would rather that than some racist farmer from saskatchewan in a suit licking at steve's boots and giving him all his votes or some vapid young girl all of 22 who used to work as a ****tail waitress in a club and whose major is liberal arts which she has just barely one year completed as a freshman.
No thanks. Our system is broken, most systems are. We live in a country where business and corporations direct the government to do what is best for them, not for the people.
Most people don't have the guts to deal with that and half the people are too **** ignorant or greedy themselves to understand what the problem with that is.
The last decade has seen polarization. Anytime you see intellectuals in society diminished by ignoramus' such as creationists, racists, out of touch inheritance kids etc, you're looking at a set up to the enslavement of the masses that are asking for it by NOT getting up to speed or because they're afraid about their jobs or they are just plain old uneducated about most things that are worthwhile to know something about.
superbowl and american idol are more important to people than foreign policy and truth in government.
the stupid get what they deserve in my opinion.
I would rather live in a world where personal integrity is what has value. Right now, there is not that and it is decaying rapidly and quickly into crap.
Another 10 years? Maybe won't even happen at this pace.Too much hate, greed and ignorance in the world. The system we live in has been set up to trap you into having to use it in order to be part of the greater society. If you do not conform, you are cast aside and regarded as less than.
Believe it.
Kung Fu is good for you.
I do know who sits there, a few of them better that I would like.
A little story:
My mom was a nanny for a family member of a certain premier of Ontario.
She told me that she would never vote for him because " A man that can't govern his home, can't govern anything".
She was 100% correct as history proved.
The fact that the people the run for government are quite possibly the ones that should NEVER be elected, speaks volumes.
Who was it that said that "no man that wins an election, deserves to" ?
Your issues with Harper are irrelevant.
Need I mention Mulroney and Chretian, both Lawyers and both horrific ( Chretian perhaps less so, but oh my the corruption).
The disconnect between the typical person in federal or provincial government ) elected official, although employees seem to also be in a lad of their own), is stunning. I know I have seen it up close and personal AND officially.
Somewhere along the lines politician forgot they are first and foremost CIVIL SERVANTS, they work for US, not the other way around.
Psalms 144:1
Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
Then you should know that qualified is something many of them ain't and secondly who and what has history proven. The little story means nothing without a name.
Mulroney failed the bar twice and was recruited by the cons in HIS freshman year. my issues with Harper? Where did you read that into it? Harper is a leash holder. That's obvious and has nothing to do with my perception and everything to do with how he runs his cabinet and government.The fact that the people the run for government are quite possibly the ones that should NEVER be elected, speaks volumes.
