Greed and being diabolical
In my opinion, Bernie Madoff went tuh jail for one hundred and fifty years for greed. Sen. John Boehner didn’t.
I watched on Sunday as Mr. Boehner in his finest garments lay prostrate before the majestic shrine of Mephistopheles vowing with clinched fists that he will do everything within his power to prevent the HealthCare Reform Bill from passing. It was a stunning performance and I repeat, it was stunning!
For Mr. Madoff there are amendments that could be cast and votes taken and counted addressing the concerns of a society regarding greed. There are popular consensus, dancing dialogs and writings of Biblical proportions with occasional verbal gymnastics allowing a society to cope and address greed in its midst.
However, in the vaulted Halls of Diabolics there are no plugs to fill the gap; no healthy dialogs to pursue and certainly no help whatsoever from the Gods. At this time, I am mindful of the “cartoon” in a NY newspaper depicting the police shooting a gorilla.
The Shakespearean character Iago, who may well be the most odious and despised of the bard’s characters, is a real walking and breathing personality living amongst us. Woe be to us all when one or more of them perch upon the uppermost ledges of our American oligarchy. The damage they fester is devastating and there are some who may rightfully call such behavior non-human!
With that in mind, I have already formed an outline as to how I will be voting in the November 10th elections and looking forward to having candidates strengthening my various positions for the good or otherwise. There may be some selective reasoning but hey, that’s just the kind of guy I am! I take advantage of every opportunity I can to dispel the media myth that the public has a short memory. They wish! They feel journalistically-bound making sure we do not have short memories when a Tiger Woods, OJ Simpson or Michel Vick comes along.
Finally, and in my opinion, greed has some redemption qualities but there is no absolving a person who is diabolical. We mere humans do not have it within our power. We too have wishes!
Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-SPAN and the spirits of the unborn for the help,

P.S. I note the media has made TeaBaggers a cleverly disguised “anonymous source”.
