Obama won!!!


I'd hardly dared hope.

Frankly, I feared McCain would win by hook or by CROOK and we'd have a disaster. This country is facing a possible "Great Depression" but most take for granted if things get too bad there will be a "New Deal" or something. The problem is that our society is structured entirely different than it was when the first hit. It won't be a matter of just keeping a job or savings, if our economic system crashes we won't be able to buy food for there simply won't be any thanks to the transportation system. Another depression would destroy America at this point.

But Obama's in and the House and Senate seem poised to be not just majority but "Filibuster-Proof". That means Obama can indeed bring change.


And I think we DO need caps on wealth. For instance, when does my right to free speech end? When I yell "Fire" in a crowded theater for instance. Where does my right to swing my fist end? When it hits your face or frankly the physical act of the threat. So, where does my "Right" to own 50 billion and have a hundred mansions and yachts end?

It ends when I take the food from the mouths of my fellow countrymen, when I take the money from their pockets, when I devour their labors and leave them with debt. The elites have had it too good for too long and as evidenced by the Wall Street obscenity they can never, ever have enough. They need to be cut down when they get too high. I'd rather have it a thousand times easier to become a millionaire than lose that chance for the pretense of a chance of becoming a "Billionaire".


For, what truly does man need?

How simple and how profound a question.

For starters, man needs food, shelter, etc. Above that, man needs friends, family, companionship. Ultimately, man need a purpose, a reason to exist, a place in society.

Wealth in excess is pointless. And, it has been proven, wealth in excess is every bit as challenging to a man's soul as dire poverty. Look again at the rich elites, at the big corporations. You'd think after making so much money by sending jobs overseas, getting subsidies since it COST MORE to do that, they'd be satisfied, but no they work on sending the few jobs remaining overseas with no care who will be able to buy their products. And their trade practices, they literally starve babies to death by "Giving" mothers breast milk formula, just enough to let the mother's milk dry up. Then they charge full retail price for the formula and the families can't afford it so the babies starve.


The Prophet Isa said "It is more difficult for a rich man to get into heaven than to pass a camel through the eye of a needle." And he also said "They have ALREADY received their portion!"
