Kwakiutl anyone? Bonfires indeed.

It’s called “greed”, it consists of “leveraging”,
uses the “old boys’ club” (or, in this case, “old
girls’”, I guess), employs legal fraud and rests
secure in the knowledge that despite all the leeches,
the legal mooches and the hangers-on getting rich off
the marital proceedings, most of the ill-gotten gains
will remain in murky offshore accounts of the
principals in this tale.

So what else is new? It’s America, folks, where
everyone can make it.

This is EXACTLY the behaviour in a society where ‘capital’ is what is number one, not people…

For why do you think it is called a ‘capital crime’ to kill someone, hmmmm?

Who can answer that!?!

But isn’t this what you would expect in a purely capital orientated society?

I do not know these people. Never heard of them. The picture looks like they are comparing laundry detergents. Why should I care?

And so, the last link to the Brooklyn Dodgers is severed…that wonderful iconic team, the Brooklyn Trolley-Dodgers, The Bums, that united a city, Brooklyn, against the world.

Cabbie: “How’re the Bums doin’?”
Passenger: “Great! We have 3 men on base.”
Cabbie” “You don’t say? Which base?”

(when 3 runners all collided headfirst one base and knocked themselves out, including the OTHER “Babe” in NYC, “Babe” Herman.)

Maybe something to do with strategic points of entry being ‘managed.’

So a direct public transportation route across a metropolis to / from a heavily populated area / popular / iconic location need be broken by other transportation means.

Or just plain incompetence across the board…. or both or several other reasons we’ll never know or be told about.

I have been saying these things since day one, Mark. How about another insidious crime: the lack of the Pasadena Gold Line going TO Dodger Stadium, but going BY it, not unlike the Green Line going BY the airport, but not going TO it.

Mike Davis “City of Quartz” madness!

The American Dream on steroids.

Is it more ‘what will my friends and family think?’

or more ‘oh my God, I can’t lose all this money, what will I do?’

or could it be the ‘I just can’t go back to beans and rice’ that really gets people on the hook to sell anyone out, including themselves?

This people’s ‘world’ is any American’s Wet Dream, is it not? ( AWD’s )

Yet you must wonder what really matters to them most in life? 

Folks are so MESMERIZED and ENTHRALLED by that fiat currency, that toilet paper we pass to one another with a ‘promise’ to pay from Uncle Slam… and are first to deny their attraction to wealth and difficulty letting it slip away.

Have Mercy on all who read this Lord…

What was / is YOUR AWD?

Mine was to make as much money as possible or the first million and give half to the church and share the rest with my close relatives… I was about 9 at the time.
