ASHAMED ? ...I'd much rather laugh...

Ya know,.... I've heard , and truly beleive, that Faith Without Works is Dead . Which is to say that we can beleive in our destiny and our abilities all we want, but if we don't move into action we will simply stagnate and relapse into regression again. And this goes for for anything we wish to move forward on in our lives. So today I am going to follw the example of a dear friend who suggests we chart out two or three forward -
moving ,productive tasks per day, and strictly adhere to that regimen.
Faith + Disiplne +Action = Advancement.
So on to this economy.. What a joke ! But not many people are laughing. If the facts were laid out in movie script form it would be a blockbuster hit in the Black Comedy category. What is happening today is no different than in the days of the workhouses. What used to be the ideal of The American Dream has descended into a nightmare by where the average American will NEVER get out of their crippling dept. While the puppeteers who put you there will never have to worry about how to pay their bills in their lives.
The puppet masters with slight of hand and the game of musical blame would have the average, decent, thinking-man beleive that you simply got greedy and lazy and in over your head. And that you need to pay the price for your failures in the game of high -finance. POPPYCOCK I SAY !!!
This is where they rely on you being ASHAMED . They know that you will not rebel while you still beleive that you are somewhat at fault for your plight. DON'T BE ASHAMED ANYMORE !!!. You did nothing worse than trust our leaders and put your economic future in the hands of the men and women who were supposed to protect your money. THEY LIED AND THEY FAILED YOU. .
In other countries there would have been a physical revolution by now. But for some reason we are in denial of the severity of our plight. 'Bread and Circuses ' come to mind. How many realitiy shows are you watching these days?  The American Empire is on it's last days and history wil show that our Bankers fiddled while Wall Street burned. And we sat idly by and said nought til it was too late.
My Father taught me that ,if one is to make fun of anything , it is advised that one would at least have a decent working knowledge of the subject. So I offer that we all have a fairly decent grasp of financial woes at the present time and therefore we will laugh while we figure out how to turn the situation toward the productive, forward -moving goal of STANDING WITHOUT SHAME.
My Father was a very well -read and spiritual man. But he also had a fairly decent grasp of reality. I find that I live by many of his philosophies. And one such philosophy which is so apropos is this;
A Boxer can bless himself all he wants before he goes into the ring, but it's not worth a fuck if he can't box..
Til next time.  Slainte'
