A Word About Playing Nice With "Our Masters"

1. I agree wholeheartedly.

The things I say in private and not on this forum, about our "betters" and what is needed to sweeten their dispositions and get them more in line with normative society, are a lot more strident and graphic than I would ever post here.

And personally, I think that time grows nigh.

2. our political class is rotten to the core, dems and repubs

Foreign policy, education, poverty...they are not up to the task.

3. I've said that for years

We only get changes in our favor when the comfortable hear us hammering at their gates, ready to overrun them and murder them.

4. Torches and pitchforks is the only thing that gets their attention.

5. Ever read about the original rednecks?

The Battle of Blair Mountain was the largest organized armed uprising in American labor history and led almost directly to the labor laws currently in effect in the United States of America. For nearly a week in late August and early September 1921, in Logan County, West Virginia, between 10,000 and 15,000 coal miners confronted company-paid private detectives in an effort to unionize the southwestern West Virginia mine counties. Unionization had succeeded elsewhere as part of a demographic boom that was triggered by the extension of the railroad and was characterized by unprecedented immigrant hiring and exploitation in the region.

Good read regarding labor.

8. Why do you think there's all the emphasis on christianity?

As long as they can keep everybody afraid of the afterlife, we'll continue to let them screw us over in this life.
