as I had decided to blow the whistle on my employer (to no avail) which happened to be the corrupt corporation that was contracted to run and rip off the tax payer funded City of Phoenix Transit system. And this is not an attempt to change the subject of the OP but rather a reflection of some epiphany I had around the year 1980. The understanding that I learned from the experience of fighting City Hall encompassed a simple question, “If cave man had modern technology, what would the world be like?” The answer was of course and still is reminiscent of the predatory savagery displayed by those who relentlessly pursue positions of wealth, political power and resources, with out consideration or empathy towards those of whom or what they seek to totally dominate. Although I doubt that cavemen were as vicious as their contemporary counter parts i.e. conservatives!

So what I learned in a totally unrelated experience to unjustifiable war is that a certain character type avoids justice by being at the core of injustice, or more simply put, being above the law. I also learned that humans, who are under and suffer the law for the sake of justice, have this incredible capacity to forget the past and to ignore the present; this is for the most part the effect of being uninformed and misinformed while not having a clue. Conditions that we would expect from our ancient ancestors that lived in caves! Right?

So why are the American people so uniformed and misinformed amidst an epoch of information technology; and who benefits from us being kept in a state of Neanderthal awareness; when in the real world innocence is served up for the slaughter on a daily bases in the name of some noble cause? Now it’s obvious that no one can come up with a believable answer to this question, so let me end this cynical paradox of a rant by giving homage to the unelected powers that be (UPTP), their corporately owned conservative biased fraud propaganda fake news and entertainment machine (aka the M$M), and let’s not forget the politicians of whom we would never elect if not for the contributions of their uppity (UPTP) masters; but most of all let’s not forget about the incredible wealth that is stolen from the many so as those who plunder for a living can finance their world empire and - at their pleasure - make cannon fodder and slaves out of whom so ever they choose… And that’s the way it is!
