Forum Post: The humor of it all...

I find myself generally amused. In general terms I support the idea of organized action and a populus expressing dissatisfaction in an atempt to better the overall quality of life. While reading many of these posts I hear all of these abstract terms being thrown around such as justice, freedom, equality, and peace. I am confident though that most all of you have differing opinions on what each of those terms means. It then becomes extremely humorous to see the comprimises that are and will be made of individual values to fit a group cohesion; further it becomes humors to think that many individuals want to trade one form of absolutes for yet another or to continue with this wierd idea of limiting yourselves to two choices, this strange "either or" mentality. I also must laugh at the buzzwords being thrown around in atempt to form intelligent argument or as a form of protest.

In truth, I think most people just want to have more material wealth themselves. Be honest, you look around at the sad state of your own financial situation and notice that you don't even have what quantifies as a piece of the pie; you then notice some who have more then they can eat themselves and become upset. Then you notice that many others are receiving similiar bad deals and you decide to band together as a form of protest. Really thats all this is about, being upset that so many have so little while so few have so much. Why then is it so hard to intelligently say that and posit a solution instead of drawing abstracts like justice and freedom into the picture; what's just, whats free? I know some people understand this concept; yet hear are all these upset blathering plebians who are about to have their voices shoved from the Forum to the colussuem for dog and pony shows while they subsist off bread rations. Perhaps to extreme of a parrell, but who doesn't like drama right...

A trend I have noticed is that money accumulates upward, rarely does it flow down through an economy, this trend has been repeated and eventually a redistribution occurs in one form or another. The cycle will likely continue, because lets face it everyone of us is human and if we had the oppurtunity to screw over others and become rich we'd do it. Don't deny it, thats so idealistic it can't be true. Look at superstars like Oprah and Bono who are very wealthy yet supposedly do all of this great stuff for the needy, they do it as a form of marketing so that you will continue to support them. Hahahahahaha charade we all are! Anyway having fun reading feel free to flame and troll or agree if you want we are all just trying to keep boredom away anyway. Valete!
