All I see are perpetrators here

OBAMA WINS-World Ends

“ Things are very bad. The recession is hitting hard here, on top of a very unfriendly, uncertain and even punitive climate for business in Chicago, Cook County and Illinois.

The business guys I know (small and medium-sized) all say they would leave if they could, and would never move here if they weren’t here already.

One of the jokes circulating among my friends is that Blago should run. My response was, what is Lee Kwan Yew doing these days? We could use him there.

My wife’s first reaction: “We should have sold our house when we had the chance. Now we are going to turn into Detroit.”

A lot of people have to be thinking this way.  Chigago Boyz

problem is, it's a community bed. The guilty drag the innocent down with them. Hmmmmmm? Maybe a class action lawsuit against registered Democrats?

Chicagoans and all right thinkers should watch this amazing video concerning capitalism and socialism. Try to listen to the message without being overwhelmed by the drawing. Without doubt the best 11 minutes you will spend today, this week even.

"He (Slavoj Žižek) warns against the hypocrisy of perennial calls to “act now!” (or “take action!”) by donating a few cents to charity or sending an email to a congressperson. Or even going to another useless protest. While surely doing something, and certainly being visible, these quasi-actions also give us the illusion of doing good while we return happily and self-satisfied to our lives of perpetuating systemic wrongs. They are nonviolent expressions of terrible violence.

There are no better examples of this hypocrisy, Zizek contends, than people like Bill Gates and George Soros. Such men do a tremendous amount of highly visible good things, but they can do so only because of their fantastical success manipulating capital for their own benefit. They become better known for their philanthropy than their ruthless business practices, yet the former amounts to only a fraction of the effect of the latter. Beneficence, like brutality, is only visible to the extent that we accept everything else as static.
