There is only ONE reason for this "stimulus" package, and that ONE reason is to increase the size of government. Period. The government could care less about any one of us posting here, or our financial situation.

Well here in Ks. they were talking about not giving tax refunds that were owed. Because the state didn't have the money. So since I owe every year I'm going to send them a note saying I'm I'll pay them later because I don't have the money now.

I think it is very important in times like these, and then keep up the habit in the future, to try to connect all the dots in examining how power works in society. While it does take time, it ends up becoming like a game, like playing cards or tennis or chess or backgammon. Its payoff is sanity in knowing how the tectonic plates of economics, politics, and power are shifting, which allows one to hop to the other foot when needed in the smallest and most mundane of everyday decisions that must be made -- as the personal is political.

Though I am doubtful of the Internet's utility in the long run, there are still windows of opportunity for it to aid in shedding light on the fissures and cracks in the Matrix. All the dirt is right out there in plain sight; it just takes time to research and organize the information, and it is being done.

Grab a big bottle of hard liquor of your choice and connect the dots below. When you're finished, never look back and never watch mainstream news again. Keep track of the names of the folks who really do have their eye on the walnut shell with the pea underneath and always search for their take on the issues:

This ride requires a Double-E ticket and no seat belts will be provided:

-------------------------

The Rabbit Hole: "All hope abandon ye who enter here"

Your main conductor for this ride is the British journalist and agent provocateur Adam Curtis.

1. Click on this You Tube link to Adam Curtis' "The Century of the Self. There are four episodes (The Century of the Self), each about an hour long. Each episode is broken into about six 10-minute files.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Kp24ZeHtv4

2. Then go on to the next film: "The Trap"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIXDMycMYsw...feature=related

This doc is also segmented into four parts, which are segmented into parts themselves.

3. If you can still stand the pain, take in Curtis' "The Mayfair Set"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yWY8IGczQE

If you're still on board, then there is no going back, so you might as well keep it up.

4. "Status Anxiety":

Now drive it all deeper into muscle memory:

5. Any number of Bill Moyers' interviews of the past two years, but this one will do fine: "Are we chumps?" "We might be."

http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/02132009/watch.html

6. Thomas Frank:

7. Rick Shenkman:

8. Interview with Adam Curtis:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/11/20/ad...rtis_interview/

9. For good measure, Dante's "Divine Comedy"

Through me you pass into the city of woe:

Through me you pass into eternal pain:

Through me among the people lost for aye.

Justice the founder of my fabric mov'd:

To rear me was the task of power divine,

Supremest wisdom, and primeval love.

Before me things create were none, save things

Eternal, and eternal I endure.

All hope abandon ye who enter here.

Such characters in colour dim I mark'd

Over a portal's lofty arch inscrib'd:

Whereat I thus: Master, these words import.

---------------------------------------

Now, if you're still conscious but writhing on a bile-puddled floor in pain without the will to go on, you are then in THEEEEEEE perfect place to read Henry Miller's "Tropic of Capricorn." It will lift you up and make you right and put you back together in a way you never thought possible, a Phoenix rising from the ashes.

Someone asked a while back why I've given the name "Maverick" to my bags. I had wanted to reply but was unable to encapsulate the exact reason why -- until now -- and I wanted to make sure that any explanation I gave be perfect.

Well, if you've taken in all these links, including Miller's "Capricorn," and you put together all the disgust, pain, laughter, sadness, despair, joy, hatred, love, lust, and desire that you encounter throughout the journey, shake it and stir, and then start punching your way back to sanity stitch by ing stitch, you have a "Maverick."

Hello there folk. I feel like ranting about life a little, as I have no where else really to go but here, so here goes. I am getting so feed up trying to find a job, having enough money to eat, and stay happy at the same time, while watching others who it seems, are struggling too, but doesn,t stop them from doing all the normal things. I have worked so hard, for years, at horse jobs, and still struggle to put shoes on my feet.

Now do not get me wrong , I do not dislike those folk, or hate them, but just wish that I could do the same thing. Watching others going off to family gathering gets depressing , you know. Every where I have gone, no sorry no work going,another one today, and you know that is finally starting to wear me out. I am a fairly strong person, but these days I am becoming weaker with all the doom and gloom on TV and Radio. I was wishing for the leather to help me a little, but again that does not seem to have worked either. Maybe I should not have listened to my friends at the time. I guess the lord has other plans for me,just wish I knew what. OH well too late now.

On the bright side I have posted a few things on EBAY, thanks to what you folk said here, and hope that the lord will pull out a miracle for me.

So how many of you others, need to GET IT OFF YOUR CHEST like I just did. I feel way better now. Seems we all need to release our feelings good or bad ,now and then, don't you think.

Wow What a rant, sorry . :blahblahblah::deadsubject: Think I have beat him enough. Thanks all you leather friends for having this site and having a ranting post.. Next time I will be happier. Happy carving to you all.

Mine too. I'm about fed up with all the :censored2::censored2: ! See, it could be worse, you could have my job.

Having a job is not what it is all cracked up to be.
