Progressive views for thinking people.

I've been paying close attention to what the politicians, bankers, brokers, and lenders are doing with our money. I joke with some of my friends about how they must really like owning a major insurance company and so much stock in financial services companies. Obviously, I'm skeptical as to how our taxpayer investments are going to develop. I suspect that the abovementioned folks will do pretty well. The rest of us will continue to do the best we can with what we have while falling behind.

'Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number--
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you--
Ye are many--they are few.'

Percy Bysshe Shelley - from The Mask of Anarchy; written on the occasion of the massacre at Manchester in 1819

"The people should not be afraid of the government, the government should fear the people." (V in V for Vendetta)

"There is something terribly wrong with this government. If the crimes of this government remain unknown to you, I would suggest that you allow the 5th of November to pass unmarked. But, if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and you would seek as I seek; then I ask that you join me and we shall give them a 5th of November that shall never be forgot." (V in "V for Vendetta")

"The quest falters on the edge of a knife; stray but a little and it will be the ruin of all. Yet, hope remains while the company is true. Do not let your hearts be troubled." (Galadrial in "Fellowship of the Ring")

 "The Blind Men and the Elephant"
John Godfrey Saxe (1816-1887)

 It was six men of Hindustan

To learning much inclined,

Who went to see the Elephant

(Though all of them were blind),

That each by observation

Might satisfy his mind…

They conclude that the elephant is like a wall, a snake, a spear, a tree, a fan, or a rope, depending upon where they touch. They have a heated debate that though it does not come to physical violence, the conflict is never resolved.

So oft in theologic wars,

The disputants, I ween,

Rail on in utter ignorance

Of what each other mean,

And prate about an Elephant

Not one of them has seen!
