Have you noticed how seldom anyone is held accountable for
crooked, unconstitutional, or unethical actions anymore? Especially by those in
government, corporations, and churches. A
disgraceful, stinky, rotten development in our country and culture.
They say a fish rots from the head down and that is what we
have and are witnessing. The leaders of
our government institutions…school indoctrination, military, justice,
legislatures, executive, law enforcement, welfare, et al have twisted,
tortured, and metastasized their cancers into all walks of our lives. Their
compulsion for attention, growth and power, in a demented politically correct
environment, is not only out of control but out of the realm of reason.
It’s a lot 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 unlawful, unethical, unconstitutional acts, what chance
do taxpaying citizens have who are trying 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 many complicit churches.
Most people of all cultures just want to be left alone to raise their
families, make a living…you know…life, liberty & the pursuit of
happiness. But it seems the fanatics and
leaders just 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 illogical,
unjust, criminal society…mercy for the guilty and punishment for the good, just
because they are good which is no longer “allowedâ€. If that is not insanity, I
know not what it is.
