Gosh, tired of this...

Barack Obama…
William Clinton…
The Bushes…#s 41 and 43…
Jimmy Carter…
Ronald Reagan…
Gordon Brown…
Tony Blair…
All of those “awful” people…including those …

… on both the African and South American continents…

…hasen’t it become abundantly clear that there is some connection?..

Be it a “Communist Government” or a “Socialist Government” or a wonderful “American Government”…
…that there is only one way to keep people producing?**

And that is to suggest that they can have more, MORE, MORE…

If they keep believing in the “American” - “Capitalistic” - “Way”

Let’s not accept that many cultures are happy with far less material things.
That many cultures are happy with less competition and more cooperation.
That many cultures can’t imagine a ‘Big Screen TV’ being more important than connections to family, neighbors and friends.

No. No.

What we need to accept is that the “Ultimate” is a ‘Driver’ for your limo…your access to the movers and shakers of the top 1% - your access to affect legislation , laws and workers over the “rest of the world.”

I can’t believe the STUPID people in the top 10% believing that they have any effecct on the top 1% of the economy.

But that is what drives the engine.

That is what makes upper middle class folks vote vehemently against the “Death Tax.”

Do you really think you’ll ever get there?
Into the upper echelons that really make the decisions?

And yet… that is what makes our stupid legislators bend over.

Gahhh…

Dude. You gonna pass that thing, or Bogart it all night?

I’m gonna pass this over to the dudes in Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share.

Has “bogart” in the sense of “steal” not worn down enough linguistically that it can be lower case? “Internet” hit that milestone years ago, even by dictionaries.

I think we should boycott that usage for the malapropism that it is, lest we be lynched. :slight_smile:

Yes, at least according to Merriam Webster.

Well done, sir!
