About Me

My photo
Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

Last Day Of Reruns

I finally made it to the end of the week. 
You know what? 
I am actually starting to feel a little bit better. 
I slept straight through the night without any hot 
and cold sweats. 
I'm a little dizzy. 
But that could be from the 
lifestyle I raged throughout my body during the 1980s, 
early 90s! 
Now my body is a temple 
and I hardly ever, 
ever abuse it with 
Sex
Drugs
It might have a lot to do with being out of shape
or the shape I'm in. 
Since it's the end of the week, 
I still wanted to end with a fan favorite. 
Right out of the time capsule of June 10th, 2015.

Two True Americans

I heard a wonderful story last night on 
ABC's Nightline.
The story was about 

Dan Price.
CEO 
and founder of
"Gravity Payments"
in Seattle.
What this man did recently,
was cut his salary from 1 million dollars a year,
to $70,000.00 a year!
All because he wanted to find a way for his 149 employees to receive a raise this year.
Everyone who works for 
Gravity Payments 
now has an annual salary of $70,000.00.
Dan Price 
started the company in 2004
and now feels, 
to help his company grow larger
and to be more competitive in the future,
it all starts with having a strong employee base who believe in the company they are working for.
Also on the program was 
Nick Hanauer,
who is a 
Venture Capitalist.
He is part of the 1% of elite rich Americans.
He predicts,
that if the top 1% doesn't turn this trend around,
of the rich getting richer 
and the poor getting poorer,
ending in a two class system,
(which I have commented on in this Blog many times)
this country will eventually turn into a 
Police State.
Summarizing his belief;
A two class system can only lead to three things,
violence against the rich elitists,
a Police State,
or a revolution against the existing Government.
Now,
if only the rest of the 1% would come to their senses,
the Republicans would stop fighting against the 
President's Healthcare plan,
(they are still trying to outlaw Obama Care through Supreme Court hearings as I write this Post)
and Companies in this country voluntarily raise their employee pay scale
(by cutting back on their company's Executive Bonuses),
this country can once again call itself,
"The Land Of The Free!"
Because I'm not the only one storing up ammunition,
weapons,
explosives,
and food to put an end to this discrepancy!
Or am I?

This is, 
After I Wrote This Post - Dan Price Is Now Being Sued By His Brother - A Stock Holder - On The Grounds His Pay Raises Would Hinder His Profits - And Of Course The 1% Of Rich Americans Did Not Heed Nick Hanauer's Advice - Only Time Will Tell If He Was Right,
Jim Hauenstein,

And,


"If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich." - John F. Kennedy -
That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
