It's election time. This cycle follows the time honored tradition of getting even with the 1%.It's comeuppance time. There will always be time for comeuppance for the 1% because we were all !% at one time.

Expensive Drug Or Death?

Japan is in the news today. It's pharma space is offering new cancer fighting drugs for $143,000.00 for a yearly treatment.Per capita income in Japan is approximately $37,000.00.Looks like many will be disappointed.Our own U.S. recently offered Sovaldi for $84,000.00 per treatment.It's for Hepatitus C.Our own per capita income is $53,000.00. Many will come up short. Of course pharma is counting on government to come up with the difference. Government hasn't the money either. But they can borrow.And if few and fewer want to buy government debt what will happen? Not to worry. The government will buy its own debt!And so it goes.People think they are worth saving. Governments want to help people with their imaginations and keep their phoney baloney jobs.Why not just tell people that they will all die some day. Which they will. And its very democratic and equal that they do die without burdening their survivors.C'est la vie.

Mosquitoes Are Not Politically Correct

Over the weekend saw reports of Massachusetts experiencing life threatening cases of Eastern Equine Encephalitis. Oklahoma documented West Nile Fever. Florida claimed Chikungunya infected residents. Mosquitoes are the carriers of the three African originated diseases. Mosquitoes aren't on no-fly lists passed out by TSA. So they hitched a ride on a jet and made use of the jet stream in coming to America.Would an attorney plead a case for asylum for mosquitoes fleeing fly swatters in West Africa? If there was money in it ,I think so. Why are West Africans who carry multiple diseases in their gut and blood welcome when the mosquito is not? The mosquito is vilified and exterminated when possible. But the West African human might get into politics and introduce laws to make it easier for other diseased immigrants to come to the U.S of A. Mosquitoes fly under the radar of political correctness. They just do their thing.At the same time we advanced organisms give our open arms to politically correct refugees.Mosquitoes will figure in the next world wide government. our PC democracy may not.

Democracy: Cost Of Equality Is Too Expensive

Yesterday Obama signed another executive order. This one let students who couldn't afford to meet their student loan obligation a path to legal forgiveness or legal default. It was a kind of dream act. But not The Dream Act that deals with free citizenship for illegals. But dreamy none the less. No reality please. Liberal causes always add up to lots of money being spent or laws being bent or ignored to fit people in who want their rights.Trillions of dollars later Lyndon Johnson's Great Society still has nothing to show for the legislation that promised to deliver equality to equals who were denied through no fault of their own. Fact is if we were in fact equal we wouldn't need trillions to live together.

United States Democracy is Majority of Minorities

Welcome to America. Here we have the unique experience where minorities are in the majority. This includes minority opinions that become law and force all others to conform. For instance, civil rights laws decree who can do what, who can say what and if one doen't do "what" then what can happen to one will surprise and possibly bankrupt you or your individuality can be confiscated.

I'm in the minority now in America.I am a straight white male who is not an attorney. But with my minority status, I am empowered and can now say that racial slurs directed at the new majority of minorities are mostly deserved and accurate. We in the U.S.A. celebrate all the cast offs of real and original self-sustainable races. Losers win in America. Yahoo.

How Soon Trade Wars?

We are on rails to repeat history. U.S. talks and negotiations about trade caps and currency realignments are final stages before trade wars. All democracies fail because they are based on the false premise of the equality of citizens . America needed China's slave labor to be able to afford entitlements to our cause celebre minorities. And so now the bill comes due for our follies. We are really known by our differences and minorities will have to make themselves useful. Equal access is one thing but equal results can't be afforded.

Obama Blames Democratic Voters

President Obama is mad with and scolding his democratic party voters for being "apathetic" He says that's "unexcusable". Gee  isn't that like an entertainer blaming the audience for not clapping and enjoying the performance?

Bob Hope Quote

Bob Hope once said, "One political party can't fool the people all of the time. That's why we have two."That's more accurate than Abraham Lincoln's observation.

Et Tu Berlusconi?

Prime Minister of Italy ,Silvio Berlusconi got a broken nose, split lip and broken teeth from a voter in Italy yesterday in the city of Milan. That was Berlusconi's home town. In these days of would be empires e.g. , al Qaida and the United States which are projecting their aspirations among the remains of former empires -Italy's Roman Empire being the most famous- the assault on Berlusconi is worth noting. 

A quick look of Berlusoni's history on Wikipedia involves about a 2-3  foot scroll down of mostly allegations of criminal conduct without convictions. The allegations range from collusion with the Mafia in assorted schemes through corruption and bribery of the police and judges to tax fraud and criminal accounting techniques. His personal moral rap sheet is another matter.

But Berlusconi on a number of occasion has used his postion as head of state to pass laws in Italy's paliament to protect himself from prosecution and conviction. In two or three court battles the proceedings were stopped  because of a statute of limitations law that was passed by his majority in parlaiment while the court was in session.

One can understand the frustration of Berlusconi's assailant. One can hardly understand why there was only one such incident in Berlusoni's long tenure. Anyway, Berlusconi got off a lot easier than former empire dreamers Julius Caesar and Benito Mussolini did. 

All empires dissolve because of corruption. There will always be corruption . But the best way to limit it is to have more power locally so the corruption can be accessed and stopped more quickly and easily. I predict that this physical voter activism towards deseriving unindicted criminal politicians  will gain more popularity. George W. Bush and Dick Cheney are on many short lists if opportunity provides an opening.

Afghanistan Democracy: Can They Afford One?

America is one of the richest countries on the planet whith a per capita income of app. $48,000.00 per year. In spite of this wealth we are a debtor nation. Our democracy continues to generate new entitlements to any legal or illegal that can yell. And all these entitlements are expensive.

Afghanistan is having another election this weekend. Our politicians are seeing this as progress. How can Afghanistan afford a democracy when the per capita income is about app. $450.00 per year? Will their politicians work for free? Who will be given a subsidy with so little to spare? 

Bad News: We Only Have Ourselves To Blame

Sorry to break it to you boys, but the start of "white male suffrage" in the early 19th century brought the consequences of this crazy democracy we all now suffer through. The Federalist Party collapsed in app.1820.The Federalists held that only white male property owners could vote. But with Maryland's liberalizing who could vote in 1810 and other states following, the election of Andrew Jackson over John Quincy Adams was the first "democratic election". Then came woman sufferage and now illegals sneak a vote. 

Of course the seminal moment for ruinous democracy is the disconnect from property ownership and the right to vote. Because it's only a matter of time before the masses out populate and out vote the haves and give it to the have nots. And this includes taking from US citizens and giving to people around the world.

Don't let them vote your gun away. But I think no one trusts the government so when push comes to shove, the haves and the have nots will team up to shoot the politicians. It will be great fun.

Peace Negotiations Between Taliban, U.S. & Afghanistan

Last week representatives of the Taliban, U.S. and Afghani tribes had a round table discussion about the merits of a Taliban rule or a U.S. democracy as a government model for Afghanistan. Both the Taliban and the U.S. were trying to sell the Afghani rep on their own paradigm.

U.S. Rep. : Mr Afghani we want a democracy in Afghanistan.

Afghani Rep. : What will democracy bring and what will it cost me?

U.S. Rep. : First, we will stop bombing you. Second , democracy will bring law and order because we will send our lawyers to train your new lawyers. Thirdly we will show you how to share your wealth with people who don't work as hard as you do. The cost will be about 30% of your present daily income in cash to achieve both goals.

Afghani Rep. : I don't have cash. Can fruits and vegetables and my personal service be used in place of cash?

U.S. Rep. : No a democracy needs cash. We need the illusion of wealth and something that can be put in a sack in case the lawyers and pols have to leave town quickly and start a new democracy somewhere else.

Afghani Rep. : So I give real produce and get worthless paper in return.

Afghani Rep. : Mr. Taliban Rep. What do you want?

Taliban Rep. : All we ask is for you to let your hair grow, don't educate your women and for this we will cut you in on our drug business profits that lives off of the disenchantment of voters in democracies around the world.

Afghani Rep. : Where do I sign?

The Day After The "End Of Days"

According to the believers and vendors in all things related to "doomsday", the date will be December 21, 2012 @ 11:11 G.M.T. This date has been gleaned from disparit sources that include the Book Of Revelations, the Mayan Calander , predictions of Merlin and the Chinese philosophy I Ching.

A simpler explanation of the December date would be that the spookiest dates for these northern hemisphere inhabitants are the shortest and coldest days. And therefore any culture or race would become the most fearful during these times and speculate on the "end days". And so scientists will indeed find what they are looking for if they focus on the winter month. But suppose we all don't perish in about 3 years from now? What will we all do?

More relevantly speaking, suppose the rescue efforts of our self serving central planning politicians fails and our democratic way of government goes the way of the Dodo Bird? What we all do? Frankly I will play the cards I'm dealt. Grand economic schemes by thieving politicians and lobbyists shouldn't succeed anyway. I will take care of me and mine.
