After working long and late yesterday I am back at it bright and early this morning. That's OK. Yesterday was a good day and today I should be home at a decent hour for a change.
While I have a very brief moment I want to make some very brief comments about the protesters at the G-20 summit in London.
When time permits I want to write more (maybe even a book - who knows) about the parallels between the far left and the far right. The differences are obvious in that the far right has a stranglehold on the Republican party while the far left are pretty much isolated from the political process. Also they both seem to argue for different things. However the similarities of these two fringe groups are too often over looked.
First - they are irrational. They purposefully take a complex situation, make it overly simple and then present a false choice between two things. On the right - it's that Capitalism is a magical ,wonderful, invisable force that can operate unchecked. On the far left it's that Capitalism is the root of all evil. Yeah - right.
Next - they are unproductive. While it's easy to demonstrate, hold tea parties or scream on the radio or FOX news, nothing good ever comes of it. It's all nonsense to attract folks who cannot or will not think for themselves. It's purpose is only to distract good people from the reality of the world.
Finally - they are funded by the same people. Those "Zeitgeist" videos being used to peel off people from the liberal side are funded and distributed by the "far right"!! Why? Because these people have only the intention of crippling governments so they can take over with their Robber Barron capitalism. They want the system unchecked so they can abuse it. It is impossible to get everyone to follow Limbaugh or Glenn Beck, but they knew that putting out 9-11 conspiracies would capture a whole new group of people they could lead away from reality, away from the democratic process and turn into mindless drones. This allows those Robber Barron's to have their way with the help of far left liberals. Ingenious!
So when I see these people protesting in London I view them as brothers and sisters of US Dittoheads. Followers all and unthinking in their complaints. Using emotion instead of reason. They should know better.

Some people could say the exact same thing about Republicans and Democrats (followers and unthinking in their complaints) all designed around party lines... Many people in the world are starting to realize just how corrupt the banking system is... Many people are starting to realize there IS NOT irrefutable proof that the towers were taken down by Osama Bin Ladin and I think it's very dangerous arrogant to insult people who feel differently. I feel there is NOT enough people asking questions and just go on like mindless drones rather than get up and go protest for something that they believe is right.... Mainly because the majority of people who do stand up against the people in power and the banking system usually end up dead...
But I do value your opinion... I'm just asking that you be more open minded to people who share a different view before being so quick to judge... Especially when the stakes are so high and the people protesting probably don't have much else left to lose...
