A writer must “know and have an ever-present consciousness that this world is a world of fools and rogues… tormented with envy, consumed with vanity; selfish, false, cruel, cursed with illusions… He should free himself of all doctrines, theories, etiquettes, politics…” —Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?). “The nobility of the writer's occupation lies in resisting oppression, thus in accepting isolation” —Albert Camus (1913-1960). “What are you gonna do” —Bertha Brown (1895-1987).

It is a shame that so few people will spend 20 minutes to listen to one of the most important explanations of corruption as government.
ReplyDelete"That was so stupid."
"Why would they do that?"
"What a dumb thing to do!"
No. There are reasons. Sen. Whitehouse explains the entire procedure and explains who and how much money is behind it.
I sincerely hope this goes viral. Corruption as government is killing us.
