I just realized; ...I'm a Slave to the Master. |
|
There is a saying that never rang so true as it does this day....
The saying goes:
If you work for a dollar, you are the Slave to the Master.
If your dollar works for you, then indeed you are the Master.
Yeap, I'm a Slave alright.:cry:

4. In the end, aren't most of us working to make somebody else's dollar work for them? |
|
How many of us are involved in customer service, accounting, clerical work, etc.? All of these jobs and more are functions of many Fortune 500 corporations, and the shareholders on the boards of directors benefit from the labor of perhaps tens of millions if not hundreds of millions of laborers. If you can get people to make you money, to do the footwork for you, you have it made.

6. The administration...these *bush/cheny |
|
plantation practices have got to go! I just don't see a change in the near future. I don't hear enough from of Democratic Congress making any movement with the republican members. They are cememented in by *bush/cheny money and control. I feel "owned".

5. Stormbringer, Elric's sword |
|
Said his master is his slave... Michael Moorcock fantasy series.
The sword craved killing, yet his master, Elric, was peaceful at heart. The sword would hum and vibrate in his hand... wanting to kill.

"Our forefathers made us equal as long as we could pay. Yeah, well maybe that wasn't exactly what they was thinkin' Version six-point-oh of the American way
But hey we can just build a great wall around the country club To keep the riff-raff out until the slump is through Yeah, I realize that ain't exactly democratic, but it's either them or us and And it's the best we can do." -- Steve Earle, Amerika v6.0
