All is fair in the world in which we live. Governmental systems function as the trusting trust that the hammers of force and power will be wielded in a soothing and trusting way. The hammers of force and power are trusted hammers as long as the hammers of force and power have the ability to force and hammer away as they wish to force and hammer away.
The gentle gentry who, gently of de facto, gently cooperate with the gentle strains of enforcement, the gentle legitimacy of law do so gently and willingly as their gentle willing wills are gently coerced with willing tales and willing stories. Gentle stasis is reached when the game gamed is the game understood by all understanding boobs and all understanding boobs know their sullen little places.
Marvelous systems of imperial statehood operate marvelously upon the gentle principle of the honorable consent of the honorably governed. There are many a type of many an honorable back alley consent. A disproportionate amount of deviation from the accepted norm can be a bad thing for the general welfare. In the highly adaptable and flexible images of the simple peasant villagers and serfs trotting off to market that which the simple governed can put up with is a simple barren thing.
Costs are paid by the bearer and the flouter, can easily defer to the toxic wastes of roving inequities and the bon fires of intimidation and self preservation. Costs may blow up in pretty little flames when the rational for all cooperative cooperation gets to blow up in pretty little flames.
The eight by ten glossies of fire walls against chaos enhance stability. Power and things and money and such need be good hammering hammers in order to a defacing ugly backlash from the suckers be.
Fair is fair when fair is skewed in a lovely prism, an accident of accepted motion. The perceived mechanics of a gamed system by the non gamers who can be taken on… unwanted chaos theory.
Unhinge the scales of justice and strange brews brew. All good cooperation comes from ennui. Make the ennui go away and the unmoving may move.
Gazelles on horseback.

Dominance Games: A good peace
Posted in Commentary, News, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags Commentary, Government, Peace, political commentary, politics, power, Public interest, social criticism, Social Sciences, writing on May 12, 2011 by B SchiffParity. Fairness. Xenophobia. Heartfelt compassion. Good people all with thin skins. The world is not an easy place. The whining of poor babies echoes loudly from here to the Martian sunrise. The stiff cries of hold my hand are deafening…..and often time a counter weight.
Too much the demeaning, the demonizing. Too much the self righteousness, the closed mindedness, the self importance. Too much the liberalizing efforts of the universal comforters. The store gets given away to those who work it not.
The fierce battles rage on. The rights of the group and the membership therein. Membership is a thing open to passions and reasons and fears and such. The melting pot of old does not always melt. It does not always blend. It is at mercy to the ingredients in the stew and the stew often has uncooperative parts, the main ingredients rancid, the diced additives being not of a combining kind.
Staunch defenders of the faith are oftentimes intolerant. The non narrow us is the over ripe other.
Battlegrounds. Power is often to save face and place, often a trip for the hard relentless. The power is not me…diffuse it, challenge it, break it. the enemy.
Cohesion not when there are prizes to be won, sacred cows to be hidden, ridden, enemies to love to hate. Thugs can marshal the forces of the club…bring harm and grief… trump peace and joy and love and understanding. For a good peace the thugs have to be noble thugs. A good peace … not often.
