Battling the beast: The continuation of our battles with liars cheats and thieves.

We all need to remember how nice it used to be when we all would mind our manners, gave general mutual respect to each other and we dealt with problems as problems instead of as a sport where winning is the goal instead of cooperation and mutual consent in the name of the common good.

It seems that many people have either given up on civilized behavior or the chant that Greed is a Mental Illness is much more true than we thought.

Has the competitiveness of the us vs. them mentality including the tricks of the dishonest superseded duty bound behavior and love of country, society and each other in general.

Now let’s throw into the pot the complaint that there is something unfair about the younger people armed with truth and are being blamed for making it all generational issues while the older dyed in the wool money grubbers are ignoring the fraying at the edges of many parts of our society. While they chant their same old song, give me more, give me more and you can’t have any. And if you don’t give me what I want, in order to win I will corrupt the judiciary and or the legislature.

Like it or not the fact is that a few decades ago both doctors and lawyers were taught, indoctrinated with, professional psychological warfare type trickery in order to get obedience and money from the ignorant masses. I only mention those because they both have created huge private clubs/organizations and have had huge effects on what the USA is today.

Many fantastic things have been developed and invented but many more could be if we take the time to adjust our moral and ethical compass.

Enter the younger people who are asking one main question “Why are we being forced to lie to and cheat people or strip them of their human dignity?” “Who made these rules and is forcing us, as a result of their greed or incompetence, to live and work in a moral battleground?” Is this breaking the spirit of our nation?

From building electronic components with slave labor to sending a million bottles of soap to be sold in the USA because the intended nation deemed the soap dangerous and made it illegal.

Has the indoctrination of dishonesty backfired as a result of guilt in the minds of those that make us their prey?

Is that why they order police to abuse citizens or peaceful protectors? Forcing us to obedience of their tyrannical reality?

Choosing the professions of law and medicine was easy, mass incarceration and a judicial system that is being touted as broken and commonly now used just to beat people down. Even the legislatures are constantly kept dancing as a result of the barrage of tricks that greedy selfish organizations trying to legalize an advantage for themselves. Not to mention how close is medical pricing to extortion, pay the price or die.

And to be fair let’s not forget the very tricky new bashing tool that is being used to baffle us into submission. Not to mention that it is the main argument for creating huge numbers of debt slaves. The “science” of economics! Wow this is the best one yet. Pages and pages of formulas to try and convince you that one dollar is not one dollar and only your local magician knows for sure which is real.
We must conclude that these are not generational arguments at all, these are moral and ethical arguments. Those that would ignore the mountain of facts and results we now have obviously never cared or prefer narcissistic self righteous delusion to reality….as long as they win!

Where They Lead Us So you want to make a better life for yourself. You want better friendships, more love and kindness, better food, a better place to live, a better car or maybe just more safety and security.
Where do we turn first? Do we turn to God and pray and then start making sensible plans to achieve our new goals? Or in our society now where God as with many personal belief systems that include justice at the core are under attack and not politically correct maybe we should turn to our corporate and political leaders.

Now please don’t get me wrong, I absolutely do not believe that the majority of our political and corporate leaders are criminal psychopaths. But, I do think that the noisemakers bring to our attention via media a disproportionate number of complaints about some of our corporate and political leaders.

And it is being sold to us by a miserable lot that they are somehow the norm. When in fact there are millions of great leaders at all levels of management and leadership. Not to forget of course that poor leadership at any level can prohibit great leadership anywhere under them.

Now let’s consider a new factor that must be or is being included by our leaders in their decision making process. Body Burden!

Now since “body burden” has become acceptable, today’s thought is more about how we balance the “body burden” in our planning process.

Volunteers needed

The first thing I would like to see is more honesty and integrity when making our decision about the “body burden”. Instead of sneakily selling someone food, cleaners or cosmetics that may kill or injure them, so we can have more money, why don’t we just get volunteers?

Oh wait, did I mention what “body burden” means? It is the number of people killed, murdered or injured by our quest for more money. To be politically correct they have replaced the term(s) body count, killed and murdered with the term “body burden” usually always to include “acceptable” as in “acceptable body burden”.

Have we lost our minds?

So now in the new age, unlike automobiles where maybe three accidents and one death can trigger a recall of millions of cars or auto parts. Some of our new corporate leaders are devising “acceptable body burdens” hinting to us that they have totally lost their grasp on reality and sanity.
But since they are our leaders and we are so good at following our leaders we need to consider and plan our “acceptable body burden” as part of our design to get more money and a better life.
So rather than surprising people like a lotto drawing as to who gets to pay the “acceptable body burden” – die or be injured as a result of food we eat, cosmetics or cleaners we use to name a few. So we can have more money. Maybe we need to have a “body burden lottery”.

In other words, to be more honest, rather than just sneaking up and bashing them, why don’t we just create a list of volunteers? Because as it stands now, mostly because we think that some portion of the taxes we pay are being used by our government to protect us from people that burden us with threat or chance of death or harm resulting from something we eat or use, we are all in danger of becoming “acceptable body burden”.

Wait, I’m sorry, I should ad this. I heard the other day that America is no longer a country; it is a business and you, lucky you, are disposable and could easily become a part of someone’s “acceptable body burden”!

I am also wondering if this is why the Supreme Court now allows foreign corporations to pay for who they want elected in the USA. Or is it still the fear that started when the USA dropped the bombs on the Japanese people and the rest of the world said wooooooo we don’t want them dropping bombs on us.

Don’t laugh, now that you can be a cabinet member and make $500,000,000 for helping get a war started. Ignoring the fact that the 82% of US people do not want war and are much more interested in better lives for themselves and their children, without the threat of being killed or injured by the food they eat or other products they buy.

But wait, back to “body burden”, can someone tell me when it became socially and nationally acceptable to kill people for profits?

Are we civilized yet?

Be Peace

Good Luck

God Bless
