Iowa caucus tonight. If you are a Dem, you will be subject to public shaming because your leaders really don't want to give you a private choice. Good luck changing your leaders to someone who cares more about you than power. ( not to say that the Rep. leaders are worth the air they breath. ) | ||

Best description yet of the Dem campaign. "It's a clash of personalities and one person doesn't have one" ( Why Bernie is popular, and Hillary is not. Just rich. And The Chosen One. ) | ||

She stole it. Expect more of the same through next year when she takes office. I do mean take. | ||

damnit. Where's my privilege? I know it must be here somewhere. Maybe I missed the baton pass? Or maybe it's just bullshit. | ||

https://pjmedia.com/election/2016/02/09/video-conc ession-speech-featured-either-hillary-and-bill-or- an-episcopalian-bishop-and-the-cryptkeeper/ this is just mean. accurate, but mean. Her handlers made sure to impress upon her the need to not make the audience feel like she might leap off the stage and begin feasting on the Earthlings, which is the vibe she was putting out there last week. It was somewhat successful. Sometimes her smile induces more nightmares than her scowl. | ||

damnit. Where's my privilege? I know it must be here somewhere. Maybe I missed the baton pass? Or maybe it's just bullshit. Interesting video. No doubt may see it that way. I assume they started with some of the biggest problems they see. They start, right out of the gate showing how wealth is passed from on generation to the next. There is some truth to that. Not nearly as much as many people tend to think though. Wealth in our country is very transient. It comes. It goes. Often before it's even passed to the next generation. Having some degree of wealth passed to you is a great benefit though. I would never argue otherwise. It's one of the things I really believe in as a free market capitalist. So what do the minorities support? Candidates that want to prevent the passage of wealth. Let that sink in for a moment. The poor are supporting candidates that want to prevent the passage of wealth that can give their next generation the head start they need to be successful in life. It doesn't take much BTW. My grand parents fled Hitler during WWII with nothing. They had close to nothing to leave to my father. On my mom's side, her father left early. Her mom died when she was 12. She was kicked out of her aunts house on her 18th birthday. Neither of my parents had that kind of head start. They did work hard to provide for their kids though. I've done fairly well for my self. To the point that I've both been accused of lying about the wealth I've built, and lying about how I built that wealth. It's funny how people like to disbelieve what is right in front of them. I've long ago stopped trying to convince those around me that they really do have opportunity to create wealth for themselves. My brother-in-law is a classic example. He had every advantage his sister did, but developed a completely opposite view of how wealth works. BTW, last week, we found out he had quit his job because he thinks he will actually be better off not working. My wife started to try to talk sense to him then looked at me shaking my head. She realized right away that it was a lost cause. He will almost certainly die with only the assets that the government sees that he should have. It's painful to see this though process with family members. It's also painful to see it with an entire segment of the population that has been taught to believe in these untruths. | ||

Oddly understandable though. I was at a buddy's house helping him work in his garage on his truck. Urban home, low income high crime 'hood. I had a similar discussion with a fellow who bragged, yes, bragged, that he didn't have to work and I was supporting him. I was the sucker for working fifty plus hours a week. Perhaps. Really the only argument I had was I was going to ride the Cyclone I worked for home to the house my bank owns that I work to pay for and the library I work to pay for that makes me far more informed than he is. Absent pride and possessions, both fleeting items in the broad view, why should I work myself into the grave just so more than half my earnings goes to taxes? It would be easy to just let others support me and settle for cheap beer and free cable. The argument that I was a citizen and he was a serf who lived at the pleasure of his masters had no traction with a fellow happy to do nothing all day but do drugs and mock those who read those stupid books. Like "Carnage and Culture" or "Time Enough For Love". Books that show that slavery isn't for me. | ||

Aesquire- My nephew told me of an experience he had with a similar person. My nephew volunteered at a homeless shelter in Columbia, SC periodically, and struck up a conversation with one of the guys one night. The guy was clean, fairly well dressed, and obviously intelligent and educated. My nephew asked him how he wound up like this. The guy basically said he got tired of the rat race. He went on to explain he knew of 5 or 6 places in town where he could get a free hot meal every day. There were 3 or 4 places where he could bathe and sleep in a warm, clean bed in safe surroundings every night. He could get decent clothes for free. He could spend all day touring the city's parks, or reading books and watching videos in the library. "What's not to like?" was pretty much his response. I don't know how you argue with that. | ||

My mother runs a community outreach called "Feed my Lambs" at St Joseph's Episcopal church in Long Beach, California. I have spent many a saturday down there slinging soup and breakfast hash, and fresh muffins, coffee, hot chocolate, and whatever else gets donated each month for this event. I will never cease to be amazed at the number of professional homeless people. Not the people who were professional and became homeless. Those who are professionals at BEING homeless.

The part about drinking cheap beer is enough to keep me working! | ||
| Macbuell |
Giving my child (and wife) food, a home and an education is enough for me to work my ass off. | ||
| Macbuell |
And working my ass off makes me want to have a few nice things and go on vacations every now and then. | ||
| Aesquire |
But won't all that be free? Except for vacations, and choice. And freedom. |
