You mean he wouldn't get rid of the Weapons of Mass Destructionhe didn't have and everyone on the Planet knew he didn't have.

You can do better that surely?

You are the one that said and I quote "verifiable observations and enquiry and cross checking of a free and open press"

Now if that is not the best joke of this thread then I will Become POTUS..

It is so funny I feel no need to add ROTFLMAO Emoticons.


A FREE AND OPEN PRESS

I am Laughing My Arse Off

All those people who are trying against all odds to find out the truth about 911 for starters.

There is nothing wrong with questioning ones Government, in fact I think it was Einstein that said "To Question was a healthy pursuit" or words to that effect.

If you believe the official story of 911 that is your prerogative.

We who question are entitled to do so as often as we care to do so.

It is up to Governments to allow access to all information, after all government are made up of people like you and me.

Do You believe the Official Story of 911.?

Yes or No?

Back on Topic

In the past, there was a small leisure class and a larger working class.


The leisure class enjoyed advantages for which there was no basis in social justice;

this necessarily made it oppressive,

limited its sympathies,

and caused it to invent theories by which to justify its privileges.

I shall not dwell upon the fact that, in all modern societies outside the USSR, many people escape even this minimum amount of work, namely all those who inherit money and all those who marry money. I do not think the fact that these people are allowed to be idle is nearly so harmful as the fact that wage-earners are expected to overwork or starve.

Bertrand Russell was Before His Time

When I was a child, shortly after urban working men had acquired the vote, certain public holidays were established by law, to the great indignation of the upper classes. I remember hearing an old Duchess say: 'What do the poor want with holidays? They ought to work.' People nowadays are less frank, but the sentiment persists, and is the source of much of our economic confusion.

I Like Florence mainly because my son knows her.



You Got The Love

Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord I just don't care"
But you've got the love I need To see me through

Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough
And things go wrong no matter what I do
Now and then it seems that life is just too much
But you've got the love I need to see me through

When food is gone you are my daily need
When friends are gone I know my savior's love is real
You know it's real

She's got her ticket
I think she gonna use it
I think she going to fly away
No one should try and stop her
Persuade her with their power
She says that her mind is made
Up

I love this from The Essay.

How clear and simple does Russell explain WORK.


First of all: what is work?

Work is of two kinds:

First, altering the position of matter at or near the earth's surface relatively to other such matter;

Second, telling other people to do so.

The first kind is unpleasant and ill paid;

The second is pleasant and highly paid.

The second kind is capable of indefinite extension:

There are not only those who give orders, but those who give advice as to what orders should be given. Usually two opposite kinds of advice are given simultaneously by two organized bodies of men; this is called politics.

The skill required for this kind of work is not knowledge of the subjects as to which advice is given, but knowledge of the art of persuasive speaking and writing, i.e. of advertising.

It's good to laugh...sleep well and ponder wisely

Your opinion in your own words please.

I promise I will not Laugh

I provided the link above your post.

Wux has asked for your opinion.

I would like to hear your and other opinion.

The morality of work is the morality of slaves, and the modern world has no need of slavery.

In Praise of Idleness

Hi wux,

I am a kinda new to the forums.... That is, those that are outside of the political type.

I will try and attempt to answer your question.

Modern technology has created mass unemployment as people are no longer required to produce goods.

We can produce food in abundance, housing in abundance etc etc with very few people involved.

Most of the unemployed have not been told that they will never again be in paid employment and are not prepared for their free time.

I remember this being discussed many years ago [leisure time] but those that could do something about it didn't bother.

It looks like the solution to the problem today is to get rid of the useless eaters as they are called.

That is my opinion of Russell's opinion

Another critical view of the 9/11 story came from Dr. Johannes B. Koeppl, a former
official in the German Defense Ministry, and an advisor to the former NATO General
Secretary, Manfred Woerner. Koeppl told Mike Ruppert: “The interests behind the Bush
administration, such as the CFR, the Trilateral Commission – founded by Brzezinski for
David Rockefeller – and the Bilderberger group, have prepared for and are now moving
to implement open world dictatorship within the next five years. They are not fighting
against terrorists. They are fighting against citizens.” (From the Wilderness, November 6,
2001)

Listen easy,
You can hear God callin'
Walkin' barefoot by a stream
Come unto me
Your hair softly fallin'
On my face as in a dream
And the time will be our time,
And the grass won't pay no mind
Sayin' nothin', lyin' where the sun is
Bakin' down upon our sighs
My lips touch you
With their soft wet kisses,
Your hands gentle in reply
And the time will be our time,
And the grass won't pay no mind
Child, touch my soul with your cries
And the music
Will know what we've found
I'll hear a hundred goodbyes,
But today I hear only one sound
The moment we're livin' is now
Na, na, na, na
Young bird flyin'
And a soft wind blowin'
Cools the sweat inside my palms
Close my eyes
And hear the flowers growin'
As you lay sleeping in my arms
And the time will be our time,
And the grass won't pay no mind
No, the grass won't pay no mind

That happens in many countries but it doesn't amount to a bag of beans in the scheme of things.
