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!

30% Interest

   Minutes after the
Solar System Government
passes a new amendment to the
Three World Constitution,
an advertisement comes through everyone's virtual reality,
onto 3D billboards,
and the solar internet.

   "Are you still stuck on a dying world? Promise of riches on Mars didn't come through for you? Or the floating ships above Venus just too hot? Now you can be the first to purchase your own spacecraft to capture your own asteroid and mine ore for sale. With the new law passed by a majority vote by our government, the Solar System Bank is no longer restricted to loan credits to impoverished districts or failing corporations. We are now allowed to loan money to individuals at the low interest rate of 30%. That's right, just 30% interest. We foresee a fleet of ships heading to the asteroid belt in a matter of a few short years. So don't miss out on this wonderful opportunity. And never worry about paying us back in your lifetime. With clause 7849, section 11 of Amendment 17 of the Constitution, you have the right and legal obligation to pass down all of your debt to your children and grandchildren. So never fear. The Repo Man will not be knocking on your spacecraft's door while you're still alive. You'll be long gone before the Solar System Bank comes to claim your original debt. But don't you think, after making a go of it, you'll be rich enough to pay off your debt before you die? We know you can. So come on. Get your piece of the pie today!"



This is,
Never Going To Leave Any Kind Of Debt For My Children,
Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.”
- Thomas Jefferson


That is my story and I am sticking to it!
