from corn tortillas & rubber bullets to r-r-r-rubber biscuits and chocolate bullets

…if you’ve got the acclaimed silver spoon, the lion’s share, & the box of brass tax under the bed…all to yourself & your haughty henchmen, …tell me you are going to just sit idle by and let truth spread to the winds like a benevolent antiviral vapor for the masses?  NO, you don’t hem haw, man, you smash it, bash it, and hammer it today! Crush it before it gets in the way!  Blame it on the insolence of the hoi-polloi, you’ll say, as that liberal media fuels the flames of the impolite & classless hoards without regard for dominion!

I cannot say for sure with regard to the well-heeled because I’ve only seen those from afar…&, although I’ve dined beside but not shared in such wealth as the bourgeoisie, groovy midland richies that they can sometimes be, I understand the likely fear of loosing it…or being forced, through circumstance, to have to live with less.  Not so much those who’ve come up middle-of-the-road only to accomplish a feat that ultimately led to economic windfalls, as they more likely know how to stretch a buck and take comfort in the little things, but the arrogant and the puffed-up, by no choice of their own, were born into silks, absolute power corruption ilk, and servants at their beck & call, for so many venerated generations in all.  …Who amongst you would ask them to know such horrors as bag groceries and Raman noodles and lines at gas pumps?  Not me. 

I am all for the rich getting richer; …there’s just NEVER been any solid logic to acts that ultimately shape the middle getting poor & the poor getting poorer & more chained to the millstone turnstile.  @ no time in humankind’s twisted history has fixed oppression and sell-out government been a boon to whole society.  In every circumstance, EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE, it’s been the means to a fall of one potentially happenin’ civilization or another.   Just ask the people, they’ll tell ya.   What do they have to lose that hasn’t already been lost over and over again?   But if the value of a basketball game or a concert or a legislation or a vote or an inside joke continues to rise into the ethereal, there is no outlet like a world economic leader gone by way of the third world…outside those castle walls.
