THE FRIGHTENED GODS

In 2002 The Oakland A's did what seemed impossible. With a budget among the lowest in the big leagues they put together a winning team based on the notion that there were enough underrated players out there to do so that won 20 straight games, breaking the American league record that had stood for over a hundred years. A book and a movie called Money Ball tell the story of just how ignorant modern baseball had gotten. What is the real story is that money driven enterprises are always going to leave the best of the human race on the sidelines.

money driven enterprises are always going to leave the best of the human race on the sidelines.

And, friends, the system in place today is pure money driven greed. If not remodeled soon, it is going to sink like the Titanic, fold in upon itself in utter disgrace. Eight short years ago it was the banking industry that had to be bailed out to the tune of seven trillion dollars. This time it is probably going to be the bloated, over-stuffed, outlandish medical- pharmaceutical- insurance fraud perpetrated by the severely mentally ill that will be exposed when nobody can pay the bills. Lights out. Just how many times can we bail out the blind pigs and then follow them again? The insurance crowd is selling immortality insurance. Temporarily, the docs will be very busy and very rich...and then...what? What is the limit? Can anybody guess? How long will you play their unworthy game of nonsense?

What men call performance is living. What men call living is performance...going merely through the motions awaiting death. So, PERFORM, O, Ye Gods! Arise! Arise! (Join no movement, wear no garb of outer dignity relying entirely upon the integrity you came here as and do not ask anybody what to do first for only you know that.) Do that and you never need ask anyone what is your job here ever again.
