Have you noticed how seldom anyone is held accountable for
crooked, unconstitutional, or unethical actions anymore? Especially those in
government, corporations, and churches. Witness
Arkansas government’s triumph in raising recent taxes.
They say a fish rots from the head down and that is what we
are witnessing. The leaders of our government
institutions…school indoctrinators; military, justice, legislatures, executive,
law enforcement, welfare, etc. have twisted, tortured, and metastasized their
cancers into all walks of life. Their compulsion for attention, growth and
power, within a demented politically correct environment, is not only out of
control, but out of reason’s realm.
It’s like trying to make sense of a runaway insane
mind. Unless our elected, appointed, and
hired “officialsâ€, as well as our media, corporate & church elites are held
responsible for their unethical, unconstitutional acts, what chance do taxpaying
citizens have who try to eke out a living in the face of overwhelming
corruption, lies, and deceit? Those despicable
types used to be “tarred & feathered†or “run out of town on a railâ€, now
they are given raises, appointments, and reelections. They make Medusa look
like Mona Lisa.
Where does the responsibility lie? With us all, but especially with the academia/media/military/industrial/governmental
complex, as well as complicit churches.
Most people just want to be left alone to raise their families, make a
living…you know…life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness. But the fanatics and leaders simply can’t
leave those individual concepts alone. They need cannon fodder for their
aggressive bloody wars and forced redistribution to finance their so-called
programs, unearned largesse, and insane empire building.
Without accountability we have nothing but an unjust,
criminal society…mercy for the guilty and punishment for the good, because
being good is no longer “allowedâ€. If that is not insanity, I know not what it
is.
