Here are a few quotes for y'all:
[The Chicago School of Economics is] a great center of contemporary scholasticism. The economists working there and produced by it are as important to the stagnation of useful thought as the Schoolmen of the University of Paris were at the height of the Middle Ages... Like that of the Paris scholastics, their mastery of highly complex rhetorical details obscures a great void at the centre of their argument... A large number of America's economic problems could be solved by shutting down the Chicago School of Economics... The purpose of closure would be simply to disentangle a tendentious ideology from its unassailable position within contemporary power structures. The same sort of liberating shock treatment was applied to European civilization in 1723 when the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) was disbanded. The effect was to set free the ideas of the Enlightenment."
--John Ralston Saul, 1994
Economics is the publishing of political agendas that are hidden within known-false assumptions. If one accepts these assumptions, then one accepts the hidden agendas. This brilliant method for subliminal programming has been very effective in instilling libertarian ideals into university students for half a century.
~ Jay Hanson
"The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt but it has
always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of
brain damage."
~ Hazel Henderson
The destruction of the natural world is not the result of global capitalism,
industrialisation, 'Western civilisation' or any flaw in human institutions.
It is a consequence of the evolutionary success of an exceptionally
rapacious primate. Throughout all of history and prehistory, human advance
has coincided with ecological devastation.
~ John Gray, Straw Dogs
"Democracy cannot survive overpopulation. Human dignity cannot survive it.
Convenience and decency cannot survive it. As you put more and more people
onto the world, the value of life not only declines, it disappears. It
doesn't matter if someone dies. The more people there are, the less one
individual matters."
~ Isaac Asimov
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not
so sure about the former."
~ Albert Einstein
"How we dare even prate about democracy is beyond me. Our form of democracy
is bribery, on the highest scale. It's far worse than anything that occurred
in the Roman empire, until the praetorian guard started to sell the
principate. We're not a democracy, and we have absolutely nothing to give
the world in the way of political ideas or political arrangements. God
knows, the mention of justice is like a clove of garlic to Count Dracula."
~ Gore Vidal
And my favorite,
Goddamn you all, I told you so.
~ Herbert George Wells
Meanwhile Obama is transforming the democratic party from a party which buys votes from the poor by providing welfare programs to a new kind of corporate tool that buys votes from the rich with bailouts and backdoor deals. Obama is showing Republicans he can court business and corporate elites as well as they can by pandering to them, the way the democrats once pandered to the poor. Leftists are going to be in for a rude awakening when they finally realize that the democrats have become more corporatist than the republicans were.
Easter is a time of reflection for me, as opposed to New Years or Halloween.
I've come to admire not only DB, but all the "Intelligent Posters" on the Site. I love it when Skinflint Curses, and tries to make
me paranoid with black helicopters and night trains. Cheyene, you are on the INSIDE somewhere, but in all your writings, I
can't figure out where. I feel like most of the posters are from Wall St. or Finance but are on the inside of information, which I
like. I love John's day, Christina Marlowe,HH, Thank you one and all.
My background is NY Wall Street and Old Bank One, in Columbus, OH.
Since ya'll have become like my family, below is my Easter Blessing.
The video at the end of the post reminds us that, Presidents used to talk about God and his guidance.
We now have a Country that rejects DADT, and tries to repeal DOMA
A Country that can't employ its people, but wants 20 million illegal's admitted.
A Country that is in debt 17 Trillion, but borrows from China to GIVE to the Middle East.
A Country that has a health care law that gives confused men boobs, and confused women abortions.
A Country that sells/gives guns to the world, but wants to take yours.
A Country that is forcing Gay Marriage to legitimize homosexuals. (or at least make them feel better)
A Country that can't afford gas, but is not allowed to Drill
A Country where human target games are pulled from school, but fund studies to find out why kids are fat.
A Country where the Constitution has been replaced with Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals"
A Country that has surrendered our culture, our heritage and our traditions without a shot being fired.
A Country where Hollywood is praised and our veterans are punished.
A Country where the people work for the government, and not the other way around.
A Country where we no longer make money but print it.
A Country where our President will be the final nail in the coffin for the legacy of the Old White Christian's Men who discovered, explored, pioneered, settled and developed the greatest Republic in the history of mankind
We have been taken over by A coalition of Bankstas, Blacks, Latinos, Liberals, Feminists, Gays, Government Workers, Union Members, Environmental Extremists, The Media, Hollywood, uninformed young people, the chronically unemployed, illegal aliens and other "fellow travelers", all while being politically correct
We are no longer Norman Rockwell's America, and I am not sure we can ever have that again.
I am nostalgic for Rockwell since I spent two days at Crystal Bridges, in Bentonville, Arkansas (home of Walton's), Walton's Museum.
They had 50 original Rockwell's that were narrated via Rockwell's son and the Director of the Rockwell Museum in MA.
You simply punch the painting number in the iPod and you hear how and why Rockwell did this particular piece.
There were 323 Saturday Evening Post Covers, and his original works about Civil Rights in the South. I had no idea that Rockwell was involved in out right propaganda. Rockwell did The Four Freedoms: War Bonds promotions
Freedom of Want - Lady with a Turkey
Freedom of Speech - A town Gathering
Freedom of Warship - Lots of different religions praying together
Freedom of Fear - Tucking the kids in bed
All Ended with Buy War Bonds
Having said all this, have a Blessed Easter
Thought you'd enjoy the last quote from President Reagan.
