particles)

a)You can't save the last guy

b) without your principles you

have

nothing (what's in the

minds of billions

of persons,

zoom in on skyscrapers,

10000

years)

after thinking about the high

sounding

hiltzik article, the moral

posture of an

opinion leader or

person in position of

authority.

Might Makes Right and all

you've got

to do is cast around

for a suitable

cloak for this fact

to make it palatable

to the

masses who are capable of

recognizing intuitively when their

principles are in play and what

allowing

themselves to be

hoodwinked about

this fact

means for the future of

civilization.

you need to prove every single

dollar

that was ill gotten when

you take it

back. there is a cost

to the billions of

minds that are

keeping those

skyscrapers there

and everything else

we benefit

from by being able to

organize

above the level of insects and

animals.

needing to apply gummint

largesse to

the poor bleeding

underdog that is

now at your

gumworker feet where you

can

smell him and hear his grinding

molars is a powerful motivator to

steal

from somewhere,

anywhere, but a

civilization that

wants to live long needs

to keep

up the mental/moral

investment

that, after all is said and

done,

IS THE ONLY THING THAT

PRODUCES A FUTURE...

Principles (adhered to) will

channel the

energy of that

gumworker to, say,

finding the

actual misfeasances, and

although his success level will

probably

be lower, the

alternative is sneaky,

hidden

expenditures of the very moral

capital upon which civilization

sits.

there's a good reason for

sayings such

as it is better that

ten guilty should go

free than

one innocent be convicted

I pass every political expression of
position through two filters:
what do you tell your kids,
two wrongs do not make a right
too much of politics is deciding which
way the populace should move and
then what lies will accomplish this.
this is like "living off the principal"
