Greetings good citizen, raw & cold outside today, not that it matters much for the unemployed.
Today's topic is a sensitive one because like education, it is one of the two 'hot button' issues politicians use to garner voter support. If we take a look at the education system in this country we have to wonder if its the teachers or the students...when the real problem is the cirriculumn. Our politics AND our religion have both leaked into the educational domain and it is confusing the kids!
Throw 'do as I say and not as I do' into the legal mix and its a marvel kids know which end is up (although, unshockingly, some don't.)
Imagine 'Dear Leader's' quandry. Here he/she is, the supreme dictator of the most powerful nation on the planet but that nation can't learn he/she is running things because they're taught to believe they're 'free' (to think what they want...that's about the extent of your freedom, good citizen.)
However, Dear Leader's education advisor, just like the dozen or so before, have been meticulous in inserting Dear Leader's 'constituents' core values into the educational system. So you have 'creationists' teaching alongside old school teachers trained to teach the 'Scientific method' like they do everywhere else.
That said, Dear Leader likes to consider him/herself an 'innovator'. What he/she is doing here will soon be imitated in school systems around the globe because a confused populace is easier to control than one trained in analytical thinking.
Keeping them at each other's political throats also makes selling stolen elections easier as well!
I keep hammering education here, where's the L&O?
Well, I had to introduce the normally transparent 'puppet-master' for this whole oligarchy thing to make any sense to you. While I refer to him/her as 'Dear Leader' the title is an ill fit for what this, er, 'manager' does.
This, er, (so many adjectives/pronouns compete) individual has many diverse interests to serve and he doesn't have the luxury to pick & choose (although there must be a defacto give and take and a running tally for who is owed what in the overall scheme of things.)
Now we come to the 'Law & Order' part of the puzzle...you have to crack a few eggs (which usually means bending or outright breaking the law) to keep the ledgers straight and to keep an even keel in the face of looming crises (yes, multiple.)
We are running full tilt toward the 'natural conclusion' of the fossil fuel era. [Can you say SUV?] When we hit the 'proverbial' [not to be confused with the actual] bottom of the barrel, the global economy is going to crash & burn... hard.
A few EU nations are getting their renewable energy infrastructure in place but there's not much happening elsewhere because of the need to 'thin the herd'...considerably. [Here crisis is being viewed as 'opportunity'.]
Understand, the oligarchs consider themselves cattlemen and the rest of us are the cattle. A cowboy knows he's tending animals bound for slaughter and that doesn't bother him one bit...it's nature's way.
But the rest of us find this deeply disturbing...because we aren't bovines and neither is numbnuts!
So here is where you get slapped in the face with a Class A 'reality check.'
Where do you supose Law & Order fits when you're planning mass genocide [with only the purist of intentions...'self-preservation'.]
That's right, it doesn't. Probably why we live under a 'guns rule' society...the ones with the guns makes the rules...
Worse, they make them up 'as needed' so what happened last time isn't necessarily what's going to happen this time.
The lesson here good citizen is one should never let other people make the rules you're all expected to live under because by the end of the exercise the only one being bound by the rules is the ones getting screwed by those rules.
Humans, to a one, are conniving opportunists. Does that mean we should abandon the rule of law? Nope, but we need to start the process with a law about making laws that puts the law beyond the reach of the 'self-interested'.
Without that primary principle in place the rule of law will continually devolve into what we suffer now, the 'rule of man'...worse, a very specific 'man' [woman.]
Well, good citizen, thanks for letting me inside your head...you should be able to see light now, maybe not specific images yet but you are no longer totally blind...
