Listen To The Big Boys

GOOD PEOPLE, having spent a lifetime carefully crafting words and deeds for political purposes and social advancement, sometimes, when they finally have nothing to lose, tell the truth.

hence, president eisenhower, as he was leaving office in 1961, warned america about the military industrial complex,  a warning which is more obviously true today then ever.

many, if not most, of recently retired american generals say that the wars in iraq and afghanistan were bad ideas from the git go, and their outcome proves it.

when george wsahington was leaving the presidency in 1797 he was quite popular, could have run again and won, but wisely didn't, thus giving america the twin blessings of political restraint and freedom of limited government. his noble choice was much later codified in our (american) constitution.

so he gave a farewell speech. in it he did what the folks mentioned above did; he decided to tell the truth, because, why not? he had already accomplished everything he wanted to, and was planning to retire, so, why not tell the truth?

so he told us to avoid entanglements with foreign nations, and political parties. and, once again, he was dead right, just as all the other late truth tellers were dead right.  emphasis on "late" truth tellers.

we could have benefited from hearing all this good advice earlier, but, at least we got it eventually.

in today's america, the military industrial complex rules, owns, and controls all, they are our corporate oligarchial masters, we wonder why we went to the trouble in iraq and afghanistan, and foreign entanglements are ruining us with bankruptcy and war, and political parties, namely the democrats and republicans, are dividing us beyond repair, over trivial , vengeful matters, as the corporate masters laugh at us, and profit from the people's plight.

washington, and all the rest, were right.

next time you hear a retiring big shot handing out advice, listen, hard.
