I hear you loud and clear Chris.
Thinking about what our government pukes have done to us, this country, and future generations just makes me sick. It doesn't matter what party you talk about the posturing, extremism and lack of foresight has managed to cripple every ones future. Politics is nothing more than a game for power craving money grubbing ego freaks who think they are somehow superior to the rest of us. In fact I'm going to include something I find amusing that applies to these a-holes as well as possibly other parts of our lives.
Monkeys and the Banana
"No matter whether operating under the banner of democracy, theocracy, dictatorship or some other moniker, the individuals who make up a government are rarely anything special, even though those outside of government usually treat them that way. To the extent that they share a trait, it is that they have a taste for power, and given it, will fight to retain it. But you could say that about most individuals.
Had Khaddafi, the media’s current set piece villain, chosen a different career, he would raise no eyebrows standing on the other side of the meat counter as he inquired if you wanted the fat trimmed off your rib-eye.
But show him, or the house painter down the street, the path to power and some supporters to help get them there, and you have an entirely different organism – government.
Because it is illustrative in understanding the differences between humans as individuals and the individual operating as a unit to control other individuals, I want to share an email I received this very morning from dear reader and correspondent Jacques T.
While it would have made a worthy entry for our Friday Funnies feature, I repurpose it…
If you start with a cage containing five monkeys, and inside the cage hang a banana on a string from the top, and then place a set of stairs under the banana, before long a monkey will go to the stairs and climb toward the banana.
As soon as he touches the stairs, you spray all the other monkeys with cold water. After a while another monkey makes an attempt with same result... all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon, when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.
Now, put the cold water away.
Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and attempts to climb the stairs. To his shock, all of the other monkeys beat the crap out of him.
After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs, he will be assaulted.
Next, remove another of the original five monkeys, replacing it with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment... with enthusiasm.
Then, replace a third original monkey with a new one, followed by a fourth, then the fifth.
Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked. Most of the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs. Neither do they know why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.
Finally, having replaced all of the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys will have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, none of the monkeys will try to climb the stairway for the banana.
Why, you ask? Because in their minds, that is the way it has always been!
This, my friends, is how Congress and the Senate operates... and is why, from time to time, all of the monkeys need to be REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME."
with everything you said .
doesn't that sound familiar.
