Quote from Chuck E. Cheese:
Amen to that. It's the game for the elites. They learned the lesson from Rome. The masses must be kept weak and lacking knowledge/direction for easy manipulation. Otherwise it's going to be hard to keep the masses happy or in control. Just look at China where the average citizen is an indentured servant of the State working to fill the pocket of the politicos, local, and international business men. Over in the U.S. we have severe wage reduction of the middle class conveniently blamed by globalization. It is indeed a brave new world after all. We're just working for da masta.
Politicians these days are an extra arm of the true elite, which is the the one holding wealth. Though at times it might be difficult to control that arm but at the end of the day the arm must obey or it's lively hood will be cut-off from the rest of the body only to be replaced by another one. They are expendable after all. Politicians know that. Overtime it is suicide to wage wars against big business. Money talks and a good smear campaign could bring down almost anyone (Eliot Spitzer anyone?). But they are also have to keep Joe public happy so from time to time they must look tough against big business just enough to get Joe's vote and temper. Then its deja vu all over again. Joe, overtime, has been conditioned to believe that it's foolhardy to have true freedom.
The Constitution and the Bill of Rights really it's an illusion these days because their laws it's no longer sacred and it's motto posed a direct threat to the politicians and big business: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Life - yes (for now). Liberty - just enough (there's still more to squeeze). Pursuit of happiness - what kind? Real or facade? In context this is what the "Founding Fathers" is most afraid of.
