My view of the world

The oil companies have announced that the high price of oil is due to the threat of nuclear war from Iran and some of the press are playing along.
The bottom line is that the current collection of honorless, lying, bastards in the Whitehouse and the Congress have allowed the merger of most of the major players in the oil industry and there is simply no real competition.
(Aren’t PACs and the world of “soft money” wonderful, and yes, I know, calling politicians “honorless, lying, bastards” is redundant.)
Yeah, I’m pissed.
We have a whitehouse that allows the rewriting of scientific documents (see the EPA) to suit their personal agenda, we’re in a war that’s based almost completely on lies and the oil companies seem to own “W” outright.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, as usual, our so-called representitives are too busy being “Repuplicans” or “Democrats” to give a shit what kind of a mess they’re creating, or how many of our rights are being taken. And the list goes on.

The basic problem is simple, I don’t mind them thinking we’re all stupid, but the number of idiots buying this pure unadulterated bullshit, proves they’re right.

In the meantime here’s our thought for the day:

“Why of course the people don’t want war…But after all it is the leaders
of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag
the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a
parliament, or a communist dictatorship…Voice or no voice, the people can
always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to
do is to tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack
of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.”
