Thoughts to Ponder for February 16, 2015
"If a baseball player slides into home plate and, right before the umpire rules if he is safe or out, the player says to the umpire-"Here is $1,000."What would we call that? We would call that a bribe. If a lawyer was arguing a case before a judge and said, "Your honor before you decide on the guilt or innocence of my client, here is $1,000."What would we call that? We would call that a bribe. But if an industry lobbyist walks into the office of a key legislator and hands her or him a check for $1,000, we call that a campaign contribution. We should call it a bribe." -- Janice Fine, Dollars and Sense magazine, July / August 2000, p21

One thing I can guarantee is that you’re never going to see peace and prosperity as long as you repeatedly allow yourself to be deceived about the causes of war and poverty. There is one name to which all human suffering can be traced, and that name is Rothschild. ~Jolly Roger
