TODAY'S CONCEPT TO EMBRACE

"The Ten Cannots" (1916)
William J. H. Boetcker
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatreds.
You cannot establish security on borrowed money.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away a man's initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.

The Occupy Wall Street Contradiction

The following is an extract from an article by Jazz Shaw of Pajama's Media.  In 89 words it is by far the clearest and most amusing assesment of the absurdity of this make believe 'revolution' I have seen to date.

"It’s also clear that you, as a protester, have very little understanding of precisely what it is you are railing against. (Or, more correctly, what is causing the injustice you perceive.) You live in a society founded on the essential principle that the government turns everyone loose to gather as much wealth as they are able. Do you now express surprise that some people actually went out and did just that?

You are fighting against the end result of a system performing exactly as it was designed to do."

For the article in its entirety go to:

It is definitely worth the effort
