This generation is truly and royally screwed. We are being robbed of the fruit of our own labor. Yet we do nothing. We deserve our lot. In the past, people were less forgiving of those who would deprive them of the product of their work. If they saw us accepting this level of taxation, they’d spit on us. We are pathetic.
A fighter is born not made. I once saw a diminutive man stand up to a giant of a bully. Not once did the man raise his voice. He clearly stated the facts and the bully got out of his establishment. My grandfather taught me the value of principles. One lives and dies by them. One does not change one’s principles. My grandfather taught me family is the most important thing on Earth. One fights and dies protecting one’s family.
Romania has always been a special mythical land. Its beauty is only trumped by its capacity to promote special characters into power. Step right in for a brief history lesson.
Entitlement is the Road to Perdition. Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad. Problem: A fool and his rights are soon parted. One man's loss is the other man's gain. Solution: Jefferson.
Corporal punishment has worked for millennia. A lenient society is not a better one. Government is not meant or equipped to raise children. Parents are. Doing away with corporal punishments creates monsters. It is our collective failure that brought us to this low point. By irresponsibly ignoring our Duty to Chastise as Loving Parents, we have created the Nightmarish Society of Today.
It’s a dog eat dog out there. The Romans knew that. The Barbarians did too. Somehow, somewhere, some people decided that “live and let live” is preferable to “survive and prosper”. Not sure everybody else on Earth got that memo. But hey, I am Devil’s advocate! What do I know?
They say that the only people who see the end of the war are the dead. I wonder if that is the only certainty in this solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short Life of ours.
We can all be heroes. That we choose to be cowards, it’s on us. But cowardice comes at a price. The moral decay of our times is that price.
Do you ever wonder how slogans come to be and why? Wonder no more. It’s easy. You’ll soon see.
The world must accept and learn to live with the State of Israel. If it doesn’t, we are all in big doodoo. And yes, that is my professional opinion. Not to dilly dally, but I do not think the adage “The Arabs have the oil, but the Jews have the matches” is accurate. My gut feeling tells me that the world is a block of cinders, and the Jews have the atomic fire. I do not think toying with the Jewish incarnation of Prometheus is wise. Do you?
