Well, fwiw, i've never ever had a great interest in politics, i guess my overall view could be like that old Monty Python sketch where people pay to argue with each other, and I find argueing for the most part to be pretty un-productive.
I grew up in a household with alot of argueing and little solutions and not much progress except backwards, so my view is obviously biased by my up-bringing.
Thus, when this decade rolled around I still had very little interest in it and knew as much about it as a thimble full. I had only voted one time in my life. So, kind of by natural attrition, and like some grand movie I slowly over the years gravitated toward it in a curious george sort of way, as in what the heck is going on over here type of feeling.
Besides the typical bs'ng every now and then with friends about it this has been really the only place I've chimed in about this or that. So, in the honor of all good stories that have a beginning a middle and a climax and an end, I felt it onlly right to post this here.
I guess in certain ways you could say it's been a big learning experience over several years, and the curious part about it was to really get too the meat of something takes time and you have too see situations and reactions repeated out over time.
So, in my 9 year study here are my conclusions:
1. Repulblicans are like the Mob. If you talk the talk all the time, they will let you walk the walk, another always requirement higher up the heirarchy over time. The old military motto, Rank Has It's Privaledges theme. With seniority in hand and the elders with years of discipline from talking the talk and walking a bit, the ones coming up the ladder are given a clear message of how too succeed, it is very black and white with very little wiggle room. Just like in the mob there are rules that they say don't break, yet, things happen and rules do get broken, and if you have been in the cirlce you get saved, especially if you have age, and just like in the mob you can rob and screw other members, as look as it's just now and then and not always, but God save your skin if you rat, then it is all over.
2. Democrats are pretty much duplicates of the Keyston Cops, well intentioned but wholly dis-organized and at it's worst very disfunctional. Like a bad movie they take every complaint, or at least on the surface, as if there heart and soul is into the task and they are on your side, and then they go around the corner and they become waylaid by one antic after another until the intention is dead and buried and fiasco has ensued all down the block.
Now since the world revolves around money when you throw that into the mix alot of interesting things happen, yet, in both the long and short run they both play to type. The Mobsters like "earners" and tything will be paid allows to those higher up, and by god you better be ready to go to war at times, both litterally and figuratively. The Keystone Cops, well, as you could guess with years of government perpetual backing they have symbiotically progressed to the point where money does grow on trees, sometimes it's a money tree, and others pennies from heaven, yet, the lesson is there is always magically money somewhere somehow, of course true to type, in both good times and bad, antics and disfunction will ensue to the extremes always.
Which when you tie everything together creates myrieads of problems both on the long and short term. Whether one likes it or not these two groups ultimately have the power, the power of law, and the power of favor to those they like and respect................thus influence is peddled perpetually for in times of crisis you must rally troops, and there must be some type of win or gain for the troops in crisis time, so on the mob side it's easy, it's always money money money, on the coppers side it's pet rock projects.
The conflict arises in that most folks are raised with a sense of fairness and punishment reward and a believe sytem of certain rights and wrongs, which one does not see played out at the top when folks are in power. It as if some big game at the top is played and power changes hands yet the other side does not crucify you for sins because they now on the down the line there sins will be just as bad or worse and they are building up some good will for a future pass, which is now how real life works for those on the front line, there are always cause and effect.
Which brings me full circle to Libertarism. I've always aligned with this group because imho they are the only ones with sound money sense, and since few things in life binds us all together like money in my view in the end they will have there chance to lead when all the money follies come to an end.
the question is if and when they get a chance will they be any better in the long run, or will some form of misfortune befell them over time due to the deadly combo of power and money. Obviously I have no idea, yet, for the most part my sense is with a more level playing field that is easier for all to understand and the ability to say no, this is a stupid thing to do with money we will have a chance.
So, there it is my final report, I've done my homework assignment and this is how I see it. Whether right wrong or indifferent it is what I believe is the history which will repeat until it does not.
As Doris Day sings, Que sera sear, whatever will be wil be, the future is not mine to see, que sera sera
In final summary, I have no real interest in politics going forward as it is not worth my own personal time.
