A recent political cartoon in the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide\/EMC (The two local freebie newspapers merged last winter) shows a guy on a telephone saying this: “I’ll stop believing that all politicians are dishonest when you stop believing that we’re all \u00a0stupid.”<\/p>\n
— The whole world sometimes looks like a rabid political cartoon gone bad.<\/p>\n
I’ve been listening to people on a radio talk show arguing over what the definitions of leftists vs rightists really are.<\/p>\n
Were Soviet style ‘Communists’ really fascists pretending to believe that the people they were herding around were all created equal (to them?)<\/p>\n
Do ‘Free Market’ types \u00a0have an agenda? What might that agenda be? “Let the bankers rule the world and manipulate everybody into debt so they can call all the shots”?<\/p>\n
Have the definitions of all types and forms of economics, governments and philosophies been put through a double speak grinder? Like a meat grinder that spits out b.s. where nineteen eighty-four type double speak rules? Love is Hate? War is Peace? Peace is Hell?<\/p>\n
Are all forms of government (at least all the ones we’re aware of?) necessarily\u00a0psychotic?<\/p>\n
Do we have to be out of our minds to allow anybody, elected or appointed or whatever…. tell us what to do?<\/p>\n
—Hey- Let me know what you think….<\/p>\n
—thanks,<\/p>\n
