Another Rant; Unions, Politicians, Fear Mongering and the "Economy"!

.. Unions SUCK! People who get all wrapped up in Union Politics suck as well... When are we going to learn that anything that's bigger than any one of us isn't exactly going to look out for our individual best interests? Unions have agendas too and the leaders in each union have the same "Fevered Egos" that most politicians do (and politicians suck even more)!

 If politician's tongues are in our asses their hands are in our wallets taking every last dollar we have in the name of "Economy" (Local, national, Global or whatever other concept of economic fear mongering they can unload on us)...

 There's a frigged up concept as well, "The Economy"... Ooooh, you better be good to the economy or it'll crash and America will crumble as a result.. Oh Please! What a crock of absolute shit! I'm taking the Snake Plisken approach and want to see an economic "Reset" button pushed! Let devalue the dollar until it's worthless so we can bring down the Billionaires to our level.. Let them worry about getting food on the table! Let them worry about paying the mortgage! "Oh, but they have that money because they work harder!".. Really? Does ANYONE really believe that crock of Shit? Really? They do have drive, that much I'll give them, but they don't work any harder than the average Joe.. In the beginning they do allot of work until the ship is moving on it's own and then, after steady profits and regular expansion, they get greedier and greedier until the point comes where enough is just not enough! They want to accumulate ALL the money like this is a Monopoly game.. So they have bragging rights with their other Billionaire friends while the other 90 plus percent are barely getting by or starving to death and homeless!

 What does this say about people in general? Do I have this ability/capability? Would I be that greedy? I won't say yes and I can't say no... I'm Human and I really don't know what would happen or what I'd do if put in a position to make Oil Baron money or run Haliburton/Microsoft or even Walmart! Maybe I'd do the same thing, become one of the "Good 'ol Boys" and just do, be, to become of of THEM.... I just don't know...

 What do I know? I know this (and it's only my opinion based on what I see and feel on this concept):

• People, in general, are greedy (and I think this is just something that was never weened out of use during evolution.. I think we become greedy due to an animalistic instinct we still have that came from million(s) of years of evolution from a single celled organism to life in the sea as some sort of living creature to becoming a creature of the land to primates to what we are now... We aren't as different from those less evolved creatures as we think.. We retained that Self Preservation side to the point we go above and beyond and it turns from Self Preservation to Greed... Do we need a Billion dollars? No, hell no! Do we need to buy food and pay bills, yes, absolutely! But we don't need to over-do things... Somehow that's where these people end up.. They may have started out to better their lives in one way or another and became successful... Success is great but hoarding money as a result is just awful.. It shows how un-evolved we really are and makes me think we're not the inheritors of Earth, we're just place holders until a better species or more evolved version of us just shows up...

• Americans feel entitled to everything... We think because our neighbor has X we need to have it too or go out of our way for the better product in Y... Is it a game or is it just Ego and Greed? We have Piss-Poor examples on Americans, of humanity, on TV every day.. 

• Look no further than Reality TV shows or ESPN or CNN/MSNBC for examples of American "Trash"... We are sheep at the mercy of a handful of wolves who distort our realities using Media sources like TV, Newspapers, Radio and other forms of print to herd us into the direction of the "Next Big Thing" so that we can pony up our money and place into their pockets (with a nice little chunk to go into Uncle Sam's pocket.. One hand has to grease another, that's why the Government doesn't care what we spend money on as long as it's being spent! Uncle Sam has an Incestious relationship with the Billionaires who, in most cases, are one in the same anyway... Our Money = Two Birds w/One Stone!
  

• We are an individualistic society that has been lulled into believing that money is our God and that we have to make allot of it to succeed, to be real... Think about this, all our childhood lives our parents feed us on our own plate... You might think that to be trivial but think about it after this; The Chinese people, as part of their culture, give each family member a bowl of rice which is just a base for their meal.. They then put out ONE plate in which their WHOLE family SHARES from... Something so small goes so far in their culture... They don't have issues w/obesity and they work together much better than Americans do.. This style of eating is done in Poor, Middle Class and Rich households by the way... Go figure... Maybe it's time for America to reevaluate our own culture and get back to basics...
  

 So, getting back to the beginning, Union heads, Politicians, the Rich and even Obese people all have one thing in common.... GREED.... It's never enough... If they submit to that feeling, that desire, that WANT (not need) or Compulsivity, could we say they are "Less Evolved"? If that's not the case and even I would act greedy if given the chance, then I say we're doomed as a species! It's a sad thought but with plenty of "Sore Thumbs" sticking out, everywhere we look, how do we overcome it? How do we evolve, come together and just live and love with one another?

That's all I have to say about the matter!
