The Road to Ruin...
It has been almost a month since I last posted. No big deal but I always seem to write them in my head and never get down to the mechanics of it. Like with many things in life, follow through is the only measurement that matters. My intentions don't mean shit.
For example, did this guy really intend for famine, flood and...well Four Horsemen kinda shit to happen when he did his Great Leap Forward, Cultural Revolution, etc?
Well, maybe he did. I would initially guess not.
So were all of those who agreed with Chamberlain and his pact with Hitler responsible for Poland, Czechoslovakia etc. being seized by the Nazis. How about those 6 million Jews?
Did Chamberlain's heart in the right place turn out okay?
This list get kinda long and repetitious.
I just got invited to join a group who want to create a cabinet position and new office e of Peace or some such horseshit.
I just get bowled over sometimes by boulder-sized naivete.
Just because some folks were raised in the warm embrace of a loving intact family; raised in a love-preaching kinda religious environment; knowing that freedom and choice are your right as citizens; and so on and so on, doesn't mean the rest of the world has been, or even wants to be. It just ain't so. It comes down to biological imperative and our own human weaknesses. Recognize our place in the food chain first, then tackle the issues at hand. As Lao Tsu once pointed out (I'll paraphrase) "Recognize your place in the food chain first, then tackle the issues at hand." I said I was gonna paraphrase.
What is this all about? It is about all of the "Now the world will get fixed once He becomes the president." It is about "Gee, isn't Hugo Chavez wonderful giving all that aid to the poor?" It is about "Cuba has the best doctors in the world. It beats the U.S. system hands down." It is about "The rich do not pay their fair share. If they did, there would be no financial crisis." It is about" The problem with our education system is it is underfunded."
Once again, the list goes on forever and gets repetitious. The bottom line is - RESULTS MATTER. INTENTIONS DON'T MEAN SHIT! So if the cult of personality which has been hitting our shores like a Third World tidal wave these past few years is any indication, I'd invest in a helmet if I were you.
