DIGNITY VS WELFARE

I don't want to disappoint you
I'm not here to anoint you
I would lick your feet but is that the sickest move?
I wear my own crown of sadness and sorrow
Never thought tomorrow
Would be so strange

"E BOW THE LETTER"      (R.E.M.)



Philosophically, welfare comes and goes. Once it's gone, it may come back again.
But, on the other hand, dignity.....


At this point in time, there is nothing that would give me more pleasure than to slap (not sexually)
Madame Lagarde.
I mean, her predecessor used to jump on anything on two legs that walked in front of him. The Madame can't  get any whether on two or four legs...
As for Frau Merkel, I'm afraid I'll have to throw three leggeds in the equation...
And Mr Schauble (however the hell it is spelled), there is nothing to fear but fear, and maybe staircases...


No jobs I guess they're like wild geese
They all went flying overseas
I'm standing in the rain
Smoking my last cigarette
It's morning in Europe*
And it's cold+dark+wet

"COLD+DARK+WET"       (Greg Brown)
*Poetic License/Justice



Democratic Capitalism has been replaced by Corporatism and its voracious appettite is spreading like
a prairie fire. It could be the final act, the last stretch of the mile, when Corporatism and Government
are tangled in a deadly tango. If you believe in God, you should start praying. If you are smarter start finding ways to exist outside the system...


We watched the tragedy unfold
We did as we were told
We bought and sold
It was the greatest show on earth
But then it was over
We oohed and aahed
We drove our racing cars
We ate our last few jars of caviar...
