Beating Evil Ain't Easy

Having been around longer than many but being born after the two guys who live in the penthouse suites of that hotel in a really, really warm place (Hitler and Stalin), I can say I've had my taste of enough bozo's who claim to be doing good for something but ultimately betray the truth and become good for nothing.

It's a hard task to do what you can against this kind of self-driven greed and focus on their own importance, in their eyes. One might call them a madman, and according to Google, here is part of what it comes up with for a definition of madman.

A madman is a man who behaves in a very strange, wild, and dangerous way.

Pretty straightforward, and a lot of folks from history and the present day fall into that category. So what do you do about it? Vote in the next election. There are arguments on both sides for yay and nay, and I lean towards the 3rd graphic here, which is about "Why Do I Bother". If you have three or more equally useless choices, is it worth our time to even go to a polling booth, which could be rigged in the 1st place or not, or do we get people who would do a better job to run for office? Smarter folks don't waste their time and money chasing rainbows like the vast majority of today's folks who self-proclaim themselves as politicians. Mostly, they are people who can't hold down a steady job, get fired and take up politics as a way to get money for not doing their job properly. I'm sure you have lots of folks in your life that fit that role.


One of the key phrases in the last paragraph involves firing people for not doing their job properly, but with proper reasoning, not just someone who thinks he has the power and goes on TV firing people because he thinks he's right (sound familiar). This isn't about making life better for me and you now, but about making it better for your children, grandchildren, and future generations as a whole.


So we need to come up with a plan to fight back against these bozos. Not easy to implement, but necessary all the same. Don't re-elect anyone who hasn't fulfilled their job or kept the promises they made to get elected. Yep, that will result in a lot of turnover, but it is necessary to weed out the freeloaders in the system, which is a rather large proportion of those in politics today.


Your major voting power is the financial clout you carry in the decisions you make about what to buy and where. A simple example is buying from those who give you excellent customer service, not from those who don't. It may sound impossible today, with banks and internet providers all seeming the same, but there are still clear first choices in those categories. If the other players want to stay in business, they have to at least measure up to the current 1st-place leader, and that means the customer gets more from them than from companies that run on the philosophy that what is best for the company is what is best for the customer. Lots of people lose their jobs due to so-called streamlining, but not the bozos at the top.


Our society needs to look for creative ways to fight back, and they are there for those who work for them. A lot of it involves getting out with other people and talking about it, which is what the pandemic was trying to stop, so talk to strangers. There are a lot of nice ones out there if you go to the right places, and lots of folks will share, not dictate their doctrine, like you get in bars a lot. Do something, anything, but just don't sit back and take it anymore. Like the guy in the movie Network (you look it up, lazybones), be "Mad as hell, and I'm not gonna' take it anymore."


Y'all have a wunnerful day, eh! Kinda glad I don't live in the USA right now. Split down the middle like a big fat watermelon with a guillotine. Too bad they stopped doing that to folks who betrayed their country. Now they re-elect them. Go figure.
