Tis a jesters game flowing like sparkling wine from the serene rivers of coal burning souls

We have the holy rollers here.  We have the pure unadulterated mindless hedonists there.  We have the dull, dead brained walking dead in the middle just dying for either a fix of heaven or hell.  We are in the moral universe of titans and schemers and passions unrestrained by either conviviality or circus.  The damned be damned.  Work a day bums and bumettes be damned.  The world is a pocked landscape of fever and St. Vitas dance, crying martyrdom, hosannas and skunk worshipers strutting in the valleys of American exceptionalism.  We have the fond relays of whack – a – mole players enjoying their games while playing in the increasingly small vineyards left to their domain.

The happy jesters of misuse and mayhem has the power, sets the parameters, defines the public space in swooning American discourse.  Tis a jesters game flowing like sparkling wine from the serene rivers of coal burning souls.

Consensus drives the diminishment of present and future power grabs

Consensus drives the diminishment of present and future power grabs

There are not stakeholders in a functioning American political system.  For there to be stakeholders enough folk have to view government as an entity that mediates disputes, solves problems, looks to ensure a common good, keeps any private or public power in check.  These are viable options for societies that need consensus with a strong base of voters feeling fortunate in their lives and futures rather than having the need to desperately cling to opposite aims.

Winning disputes.  Finding advantage in problems.  Playing musical chairs with a creation of a scrambling caste system.  Vie continually for the fruits, benefits and slave labors of power.  These are stakeholders in a system that favors bare knuckle paths to power for any individual or group that can use that can maximize positions gained in the absence of any real checks and balances upon usurpation of control.  These are the stakeholders, players of the zero sum games.  Consensus drives the diminishment of present and future power grabs.

The public always defers to their betters

The public always defers to their betters

Some give.  Some take.  Some access the public trough.  Some gain access to it.  Some get the crumbs and the conscience money.  Some know how to get what is theirs.  Some know that nothing is theirs so they just wait with open arms for the manna from heaven that rains down upon them.  Some want help.  Some need help.  Some take their help by birthright.  Some invest in the store for access to greater returns.  Some just thrill at being able to live at the poverty line due to public largesse.  Oyhers just happily decide who better to take their money and treasure.

Owners own.  Breakers break. Killers kill.  Those who play the with the house’s money get to take it and have the public love ’em for it.  The public always defers to their betters.

The market place rules.

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, News, opinion, political science, Politics with tags , , , , , , , on May 22, 2015 by B Schiff

The market place rules.

The market place rules.

It demands that education be cheap and perfunctory, a baby sitting service run by those who are there to make a profit.  It demands prisons be full so that those who run them can be there to make a profit.  It demands that police be few so that no money is wasted on the useless neighborhoods where crime may flourish.  There is no profit there.

The market place rules.

It demands that politics be a game of those bought and sold and that with ownership goes privilege.  It demands that information and ideas be meted out freely and that eyeballs are made to be distracted and that societal discourse be a large game of constant cumbaya ….. lets salve the weary minds and bodies of the stuck, put upon wayfarers just trying to get through the night.  There is no power with them ….  to engage   give no profit.

The market place rules.

Those who have access to the game have access to the game.  Those who have access to the game play for profit and position.  They play to keep the market place open for business …… skewed towards those who use it, enjoy it, deal with the realities of life, maximize their gains.

The market place rules.

The rational act rational.

Humanity has no commonality.

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, News, opinion, political science, Politics with tags , , , , , , , on May 20, 2015 by B Schiff

Humanity has no commonality.

Since there are no fixed points in human behavior, no grand scale of a march towards civilization, no well considered moral and legal and developmental sets of observations and propositions then all belief systems have equal value and all cultural norms are to be judged solely in the context of their own base parameters, parameters non inclusive of any wider heathen world, any greater poluted information, any greater corrupt experience, any rancid larger pond.

To judge not and be not judged happily becomes judge and be not judged, insulate and attack, attack other insulation and all non insulation.  Common values imply contamination and cries for cultural superiorities or inferiorities.  All cultures are honorable in all judgements and all examinations of all facets of life and all differences within and without. The paths towards the grand, good society run through the the abilities to establish base premises that exist in a vacuum.  The paths towards good relations with differing cultures calls for the acceptance of these vacuums and non examinations of same.

Humanity has no commonality.

The student, the voting public is the boss.

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, Education, News, opinion, political science, Politics with tags , , , , , , , on May 19, 2015 by B Schiff

The student, the voting public is the boss.

Teaching and politics.

Once it seemed aspirational for the common sucker to wish to understand and grasp ideas and notions presented by those of insight and ability.  These humble folk were not dissuaded from putting forth ideas and sentiments and either asking for or demanding that their humble public make the effort to understand, challenge, respect and accomplish thought.

With teaching the power was with the educated stalwart who was allowed to teach because he or she presumably knew more than those being taught.  They were there to learn, to grasp, to expand idea, tools.  They were not there to force compliance with their abilities to be entertained.  They were not the sellers of attention spans.  They were the buyers of services.  Their moods and peccadilloes did not dictate presentation.  Students were not a congregations hiring dancing performers.

It is the salving of the needs of the poor babies who must be informed that counts.  The status of the having power in the power to fail is a wonderful thing.

Since all those who respect thr equations that honor ability and achievement

When interacting with fickle prolific public demand respect in this time and place we jump to leave it to standards and methods and messages being controlled by those who always demand the dancing dogs.

The student, the voting public is the boss.

Pull the right strings and we get to celebrate ugly forever.

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, News, opinion, political science, Politics with tags , , , , , , , on May 18, 2015 by B Schiff

Pull the right strings and we get to celebrate ugly forever.

It must be that we have traversed time and century and have been revised by the ghosts of the great depression of the 1930’s.

The poor are left to their own devices with no devices to be had.

The schools are left to their own devises overlooked by those who hear no, see no, wish no professional to be involved in the education process.  Any idiot can teach.

The police are left to their own devises with lacking manpower, lacking training, lacking means of being able to relax and feel safe in light of real and perceived threats.  Might is a default plan.

Bridges, rails, roads serve only to bring transients from one place to another, to reinforce the unity of  the country as a whole.  Regions wish not to associate with others of lesser stripe.

Hope is a cynical word with anger and hate a growing currency loved and used by those who wish to maximize the opportunities given by power vacuums and desperate victims.  The free market of power acquisition.

Pull the right strings and we get to celebrate ugly forever.

Power goes where it will go.

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, News, opinion, political science, Politics with tags , , , , , , , on May 15, 2015 by B Schiff

Power goes where it will go.

The existence of a vibrant middle class tends to spread the points of access to power and to diminish the authoritarian strains of all factions primed and ready to go forward and commit their ideas of holy unity.

The ideas of a possible existence of a middle class serve a similar function.

The absence of any hope that such a thing as a middle class may be possible leave the fields open to all manners of saviors.

Policies may come and fail.  They may be non too bright and all too corrupt

But they must be open to  establishing the ideas of a sustained, broad based population.  Power in a democracy should look to find a home in the solid middle …. that which may form itself by accident and common interest, by luck and sustained prosperity, by a culture that calls such a thing good.  These were the gifts of a once upon a time.  These are not the gifts of now.  The ground beneath the feet of that dream or illusion is shifting and caving and the new paradigms may find these old tintypes quaint and sentimental.

Societies change and the puffed out chests of their soldiers may take pride in different things.

Power goes where it will go.

Corrupt is a facile master.

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, News, opinion, political science, Politics with tags , , , , , , , on May 13, 2015 by B Schiff

Corrupt is a facile master.

Since corruption is at the heart and soul of modern American politics it is good that we know this to be so.  This is simply the parallel to the basic corruption of modern everyday American life where might makes right and the best survivors are those who ar adept at best being able to screw whomever they so wish to screw and whomever they are so in a position to screw.  Hard knuckle politics, economics, social intercourse reflect well upon a society happily dancing in fractionalism, daintily pirouetting to the tunes of attack.  A society of many losers is bought off easiest by those able and willing to buy.

Power corrupts.  Absolute power corrupts absolutely.  We have no fools raging in the public forum.  They see the prize.  They smell the rosebuds.  The shimmy to the flutes of the divine melodies.  They seek the prizes of, the smells, the aromas of happily rancid power.  They then are saintly rewarded with the joys of corruption coming and going.

Corrupt is corrupt because it wishes to be, because it can, because it is what is … the currency of the realm …. there just coming out in public appearance slowly and more surely and with brighter lights and star power as the chumps think it serves them.  Corrupt is a facile master.

Man is a rabid beast.

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, News, opinion, political science, Politics with tags , , , , , , , on May 10, 2015 by B Schiff

Man is a rabid beast. 

The authoritarian right.  The authoritarian left.  The authoritarian holies of all types and stripes.  The magisterial possessors of the word, the path, the right, the sun of being, the manna from heaven that springs.  All hearts and souls.

Man is a rabid beast.  He is strong, encroaching, feral, full of vim, encased with vigor.  Man is a rabid beast full of fire and ice, passion and pain, hatred and envy.  He kills well and he subjugates well his chosen subjects.  Man can own, can break, can kill, can demean, destroy, covet and whisper. Man is a rabid beast, with sword and message to support him as he sees fit.  The swords of sin, the messages of fire.

Man is a rabid authoritarian beast who can in wily ways find venues of convenience and necessity to use as channels for his lightening.  Laws and righteousness enforceable by the death of the soul, by cold barren death.  The equation.
