We get what we deserve. What goes around comes around.

We decry all the official and corporate graft and corruption; But all the while winking at our own greed - padded expense accounts, goofing off on job, taking advantage of our neighbors; cheating on taxes; cheating in school, and even on each other; and even at the ballot box where we ALWAYS vote the pocket book rather than the greater good of the community or for what is intrinsically right. Not to mention all the NIMBYism and other self-centered bull-bleep that goes on and on.

After observing the frequently violent feeding frenzy this Thanksgiving - I think not much chance of that. Too many are out satisfying their own insane greed, rather than being glad for what they already have. All while we wink on and on at our own black Friday prowess, and our own cleverness at getting even MORE stuff.

- even if we have to grab it right out of the hands of a little child - Disgusting!

Of course, all the while we are being thoroughly played by greedy corporations and politicians for the suckers we really are. But we don't seem to care (MORE STUFF!).

Yep - We will get what we deserve. Probably sooner rather than later too!
