Latest Monologues:

‘Flirty E-Mails’
-jay leno

Aired Wednesday night on NBC: For the first time ever, gas across the entire country averaging $4 a gallon. Or as we call that in Los Angeles, the good old days.

And believe me, the oil companies, they are laughing all the way to the bank that’s foreclosing on your house...

my email to poster

You know I don't like this sort of crap, but...
& I don't know how correct any of this information is.
Anyone can write anything about anything.
Doesn't make any of it true.
I just don't trust this at all, but who cares what I like, eh?

I don't like this sort of "stuff", but that's not my decision. You decide.

Here's the thing ..... (and this is kind of a mental jam session...okay????)

A Libertarian patiently explained to me why "the rich" would probably never intentionally completely ream "us little folks".

Pretty simple, actually: We are production and consumption units. Their wealth is founded upon our availability/ability to buy the goods and services of the companies they own, and to actually produced the goods and services the companies that they own provide to the marketplace.

Henry Ford said he never wanted to make a car his workers couldn't buy. This is maybe on of the greatest understandings of what a free market cold ideally be. (Henry Ford had a lot to say about TWMBO. Dearborn Independent. Maybe some day your turtle head will poke out of its intellectual carapace and you'll track this one down. But I digress..........)

Specialization of production skills requires a certain sized population. People must be lured to work. Slave labor works, but pretty inefficiently.

Hear me out ... hear me out ... roll another one.....

Slave labor works efficiently for direct physical tasks. Cool Hand Luke and the Boys kept those goddamm weeds down, didn't they? The boss man walks up and down the line and he can see, from the swings of the sickles, who is doggin' it.

But slave labor begins to loose efficiency with more complicated tasks. How can you push an accountant to crunch numbers faster? You can try, but you'll start getting errors. And how, as the slave master, can you get inside the accountant's head and see that he's truly doggin' it??

Now take this into the realm of engineers, and physicists, and honest-to-God thinkers ... the fundamental creative people whose imaginations and logic and problem solving skills are at the root of all the wealth that the Bad Rich People control.

Dude, you gotta treat those house n* better than the field n*. And you know what? A certain number of field n* will see those house n* and want to be working in the house. You need a pool of raw labor from which to draw for replenishment.

Rock, the human psyche probably hasn't changed much since our ancestors were pounding iron and plowing with horses in the 1700's. That's why Jefferson's and Hamilton's and Franklin's words ring true to us.

VOLUNTARY SERVITUDE (see The Constitution) is legal in these United States. But "The Rich" know that we worker bees have to be deceived into believing that we can actually own the fruits of our labors. You "own" your house? Nope...The Bank owns it. You "own" your car? Not likely...The Bank owns it. You own your labor? Nope...The Government (which is really the guys who also own the bank) owns it. Anything that you have to rent is owned by another entity. Property tax (it's rent,isn't it?) is the greatest inroad of communism in the history of America. You can't even own a piece of dirt free and clear!!!!! What a f*n' scam!!!

We are almost all of us sharecroppers (actually renting that which we think we own!) with a floating contract that flutters up and down at the will of the Plantation Owner. This is done by the manipulation of actual exchange value of "money" (their green inked paper).

Enter the entrepreneur class. Actually, you should be one of these, but your f*ing Granite Brained Contrariness seems to block your ascent into the land of the Rich Nerds. These guys are my heroes. Woz and Jobs and Paul Allen and ... gulp, gag, choke ... that f* with the bad hair and glasses...

The Bad Rich People know that they depend on this class. If you can enter this strata of the labor pool you start eating off the Big Table.

Now, what to do with the field n* who won't work. Hmmm.................... What is the Massah gonna do with them? Hmmm.................

Hasta,
