I talked about the barriers created by monopolies. I said that it was the role of government to break up these monopolies and that we couldn't do it alone.

The Government of the absolute majority instead of the Government of the people is but the Government of the strongest interests; and when not efficiently checked, it is the most tyrannical and oppressive that can be devised.

But if there's an erosion at home, you know, Thomas Jefferson warned about a tyranny of an oligarchy and if we surrender our democracy to the tyranny of an oligarchy, we've made a terrible mistake.

I don't think we can go back to the old days. But I think that what the government needs to do is it needs to make sure that the pricing is fair, that you don't have monopolies out there, so that people don't have a chance to compete fairly.

A Tolerant Society
A tolerant society we've heard it all before
That fellow he is different he is from a distant shore
He never will be my friend so him i will ignore
I will only tolerate him just that and nothing more.
A tolerant society those words often used of late
By the leaders of the Government in a so called egalatarian State
Yet his birthday or successes we will never celebrate
We will only tolerate him he will never be our mate.
A tolerant society words best used to describe
That we will put up with others but we'll stick by our own tribe
Them we shall not acknowledge or to them say hello
And about them and their culture we do not wish to know.
In a tolerant society we only tolerate
And closer ties or friendships with them we do not wish to cultivate
He is from a different culture and our differences are great
And we only tolerate him he will never be our mate.

Barack Obama is the worst president in history. In my generation, we'll inherit a weakened country, drug cartels in Mexico, tax cartels in D.C. What's happened to America? I love Arizona. I was raised right. Somebody has to go to Washington and knock the hell out of the place.

Hopscotching Through Monopolies
Hopscotching through monopolies,
To watch those twittering their tweets...
And texting responses to instant chats,
Without making eye contact.
To do this with unequivocal focus...
Is almost impossible to distract those,
Attached to communicating today like that.
And even in crowds there are those so detached,
As to not to care or notice...
The shredding going on around them,
By those employed by monopolies enjoying...
Erasing the facts,
Once kept intact for researching purposes.
Well...
We all can forget that!
Hopscotching through monopolies,
To watch those twittering their tweets...
To avoid eye contact that leaves them to do,
Exactly as they please...
Is,
Well...
Offensive and disheartening to someone like me.
Since I remember those times when I said 'hello'...
At least I got a 'nod' in return.
Will I witness people hobnobbing?
No.
Nosebobbing over shoulders,
To dip with a peeking?
No.
And even though some might be tempted,
With immense curiosity...
There seems to be a sigh of relief.
No one bothers to them to speak.

Dangerous To Play With The Fire Of The Stars
It's dangerous to play with the fire of the stars
For the first time since 1778, pluto is returning
to capricorn. The US government, nominally
a democracy, has never before
had pluto oppose its three planets in cancer.
God wants the killing to stop.

(The same cartels which destabilized the Chilean economy in 1973,
which tampered with Australia's elections in 1972, Iran's government,
which attempted to murder Fidel Castro countless times, which
has attempted to murder Hugo Chavez, which has caused countless
plane crashes from those of John and Robert Kennedy and John F
Kennedy Jr as well as those of Mel Carnahan in Missouri, Paul
Wellstone in Minnesota, and countless other plane crashes recorded
in the book Confessions of An Economic Hit Man, are now
attempting to drive the poor of America into despair through doubled
gas prices, doubled food prices, evictions, foreclosures, outsourcing
of jobs, etc. God dismantle now the megathief cartels. Thank You
that what we ask together You materialize, for You are the God of the poor.)

An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger.
I own that I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive.

The problem to solve is, whether a single or a double government would be most advantageous; and, in considering that point, I am met by this difficulty - that I cannot see that the present form of government is a double government at all.
