Italy Comments On Government & Religion

Last week Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi was assaulted and suffered a broken nose. Yesterday Pope Benedict XVI was knocked down while leading religious services in St. Peter' Basilica. Both assailants were off the street individuals. Nothing points to an organization or a conspiracy behind the two attackers. All this added to the events in Iran where the government is seriously disconnected from its people and it looks like developing trend.

What's this all mean? On its face it looks like two deranged people exercising an anarchistic attitude. If these violent incidents continue and also spread to more countries then something deeper is at work. I.E. a revulsion against extremes and caricatures of power who are bigoted or consumed with only self interest.

Is Normal An Obsolete Word?

Things change so quickly that the word " normal" loses its meaning except when used to describe those same quick, never ending changes. Money contributes to the cause of our new "normal". There has never been more in circulation yet there is more poverty and more uncertainity. Money is too expensive. The strings attached to its use by the issuing governments are counterproductive and tend to enslave. Some of the strings include interest and taxes . Our government has never spent more yet it has never been held in lower regard.Barter is more efficient and puts the individual back in control.

Hillary Clinton: Cow With Cash

Here we go again. The first quarter presidential fund raising totals are in. The bush has $ 36 million. That nearly ties the Bush total of $ 37 million in the comparable period. Since all big money is increasingly concentrated in America, look for an increasingly larger American government with a Clinton presidency as per the Bush government template.

Donors who want to make Hillary's pudenda pucker or click with her clit merely have to enclose a check with the requested part of the $ 3 trillion federal budget. The auctioning of America continues.
