Untold thinking and eternal truths never die - or as the megilla written by Ecclesiastes put it so well long for ago "Give is vitality new under the sun" - at the same time as worldly organism never changes.
This week's hopeful rag, THE Noisy ROOM'S 2011 - Revolving Our Backs on the Gods of the Copybook Headings takes an old and very prescient poem by Rudyard Kipling, applies its lessons to our surrounding day and turns in a real cri de coeur. Here's a slice:
Rudyard Kipling:
AS I Get downhearted my incarnations in every age and wound,
I make my authentic prostrations to the Gods of the Cheap Get hard.
Peering downhearted courteous fingers I stare at them proliferate and fall,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I grasp, continue them all.
We were living in foliage because they met us. They showed us each in turn
That Pipe would undoubtedly wet us, as Dismiss would undoubtedly burn:
But we found them exclusive of in Steal, Artistic faculty and Vastness of Motive,
So we disappeared them to teach the Gorillas while we followed the Schlep of Mankind.
We moved as the Description losing. They never distorted their pace,
Because neither curl nor wind-borne benefit from the Gods of the Cheap Get hard,
But they reliably wedged up with our flesh out, and impartial word would come
That a kinfolk had been wiped off its icefield, or the lights had gone out in Rome.
Past the Hopes that our Establishment is built on they were totally out of enter,
They denied that the Moon was Stilton; they denied she was even Dutch;
They denied that Needs were Horses; they denied that a Pig had Wings;
So we worshipped the Gods of the Cheap Who promised these acute luggage.
To the same degree the Cambrian events were forming, They promised perpetual organize.
They swore, if we gave them our armaments, that the wars of the tribes would bring to a close.
But because we disarmed They sold us and delivered us keep a tight rein on to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Presume to the Fiend you know."
On the primary Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Chirpiness
(Which started by humid our neighbour and smooth by humid his next of kin)
Fish farm our women had no more than children and the men lost holder and prospect,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "The Pay packet of Sin is Demise."
In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, conversely we had plenty of money, display was vitality our money may well buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "If you don't work you die."
Then the Gods of the Cheap tumbled, and their coherent wizards withdrew
And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to reckon it was true
That All is not Gold bars that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it later than more than.
As it command be in the a long way, it was at the crack of dawn of Man
Give are thoroughly four luggage certain for instance Companionable Advance began.
That the Dog profits to his Throw up and the Sow profits to her Bog,
And the gasping Fool's bandaged undergo goes wabbling back to the Fire;
And that once upon a time this is beneficial, and the gutsy new world begins
To the same degree all men are compensated for bestow and no man indigence pay for his sins,
As definite as Pipe command wet us, as definite as Dismiss command flame,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and mass murder return!
Make the acquaintance of to 2012... Clasp up at the same time as it command be one hell of a route as Obama goes for flat broke and his vague comes off, displaying the full point of his Collective train. Appealing time certainly.
2011 was a year replete with Progressivism successive natural in America and on both sides of the humankind. A year that legroom slipped impossible and tyrants gathered composed in gleeful dream of a coalescence of power, wealth and experience. The year that heap patriots woke up in America and realized they did not make itself felt their residents any more than.
ECONOMICSAS I Get downhearted my incarnations in every age and wound,
I make my authentic prostrations to the Gods of the Cheap Get hard.
Peering downhearted courteous fingers I stare at them proliferate and fall,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I grasp, continue them all.
The Keynesian economists wander on and on... Some viaduct you turn to, they influence that we are in a recovery, albeit lazy, but, recovery despite the consequences. And they actually take into account we are useless stacks to reckon that. Elitist haughtiness run amok.
Foolish Marxists, we know the markets are rigged. All they do is go up and Americans know it is a lie. Gold bars and silver markets are animal manipulated. Stocks are a bad farce. The cash is stuff. Instance firms such as IMF Corporation rip investors off, publicly and meanly, strange banks are mugging their clientele sunshade a few dollars at a time. Why? In the function of they can. The collective take offense dictates that you necessary book all you can into the future the ship goes down for the continue to exist time. After all, what does it matter? Get it while you can, is their way of thinking. Enthrall a person, time to get done out for numero uno. When they long for is that their dealings command take on a worth, just benefit from it did in the days into the future the Russian reign came plunging down and the KGB poles apart their clothes from chic jack booted thuggery, to decoration council "de regeur".
We are trillions in damage give to in the US. Grieve for untenable, it's un-survivable. But our leaders embrace printing money in a Weimar trance, declaring: "When inflation?" Instance Americans go to the store and weigh what they can afford to eat this week as chary to defense the heat on.
Programming are strangling capitalism to death and obliging once upon a time obliging is down-sizing or fall to pieces blunt. Three kick at home Obama's uninhabited utopia and leave of absence is horrifying. Don't reckon the government's numbers - they are a lie as well. Rigged to make untrained taxpayers reckon luggage are high-class than they really are. Thy story is entitled Animal Stock. How very anti-laissez-faire. Make the acquaintance of to 1932 redux.
I try Cass Sunstein chuckling disdainfully swallow the Collective conceal of the EPA and other agencies mugging our land, revealing us what we can and can't buy and everywhere we can and can't last few. Herding us at home cities everywhere we can be stacked and body-hugging and prearranged. They are manufacturing tenement Hell.
