<!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="font-family:times new roman;">[and pls dont come to the conclusion after reading this that im for one or other side]<br><br>so there's these baddies...and they want to kill us...and theyre bad, bad...so what are you going to do when youve identified them?...kill 'em?...hmmm...but thats what they have done...they identified some group as bad, as plotting to kill them, so they are organising to...kill them...that is, you...and you are good...they shouldnt kill good people...people who want to kill good people are bad...we gotta kill 'em first! before they kill us!...hey, then the world will be great!...all the baddies gone...only good people...terrific!...<br><br>the yinyang symbol - a circle, symbol of perfection, peace, smoothness, fullness, abundance, completion - divided by an S, making two equal sized, equal shaped areas, distinguished black and white - in the head of each fishlike shape, a contrary colour dot - which, i am going to guess, grows as the shapes revolve around each other, turning the white to black, the black to white...<br><br>the americans were good in ww2, bad in vietnam...same people...americans in both cases saw or thought they saw a threat to themselves...the greatest idea in the history of the world...identify the bad and kill 'em...if it turns out the ones you kill werent bad, then you become bad by having killed them...were the vietnamese going to take over the usa, or were they just having a local they-are-bad,-so-lets-kill-'em?...the nazis thought communism was a jewish plot to kill the germans, so the germans got up to kill 'em...and control a big enough area to ensure the german safety...and then the french got the idea that the germans might be trying to kill them, and loot their art galleries while they were at it, so the french got up to kill 'em...and the americans helped them!...and that was good...that was great...killed the baddies...ah, lovely peace again...hooray<br><br>the russians thought that america was going to take them over, enslave them and exploit them...so the russians organised to protect themselves...and maybe take over some more land so's the russians would be in a strong position...the americans took over south america to be in a strong position...the russians are getting big...we gotta get big too!...a quarter of americans are german...hmmm<br><br>seems like maybe everyone is about the same...and everyone has this great idea to identify the baddies...and kill 'em...some of 'em, just stick 'em in prisons and torture 'em<br><br>is there a better idea?<br><br>well, we could just let 'em take us over...maybe if we are good, and dont fight 'em, they wont be worse than the bosses we've got...if they exterminate us, well...too bad, we'll take the chance...like the redindians, i mean, native americans...like the aztecs<br><br>well, we could just conquer them economically...like the americans in south america and elsewhere...like the japanese, after they had their weapons taken off them...but then they might get mad and decide to fight...like the germans after being economically eroded by england before ww1...britannia rules the waves...in order to plunder the world better...but then the plundered got mad and eroded the british empire<br><br>well, we could stop eroding anyone economically...just do our own work, and take our own earnings...make sure no one is going to get mad from having to do our work for us...pay for 100 hours' work is at present ranging from $1 to $1,000,000,000 - 90% of people paid between a 10th and a 1000th of the world average hourly payrate...1% paid between the average and 1,000,000 times the average...mmmmmmm...we'd have our work cut out there...maybe make a start?...limit overpay to say 1000 times the average?...that would only affect the superoverpaid, maybe 0.0001% of people, and it could go to make the most underpaid, overworked, most enslaved, less mad...so they wouldnt think we were bad, and attack us...using funding from the superrich who suck money off us, using the power we gave them by allowing limitless superoverpay...the tobin tax, tax a tiny bit off the ones who make millions a day?...the nation or globe based on injustice cannot stand, will fight itself to death...have we got injustice?...can we measure injustice so's we can avoid it, so we can avoid having groups who feel threatened and get to thinking we are bad and get up to kill us?...mmmmmmm<br><br>well, i guess you could say that in fact no one can work more than twice as hard as the average person, because the average person works 50 hours a week [housewives work an average of 70 hours a week, the third world longer, and from a younger age] and no one can work more than about 100 hours a week, so if you wanted to be really really extreme and ridiculous about this justice idea, you could limit pay to [ridiculous!] twice the world average pay [of US$15 an hour if you pay housewives/homemakers and students as well, so the two-adult family working average hard will get $75,000 a year - every family in the world get $75,000 a year! - boy, think of all the people who could afford to go to university and contribute to world knowledge - knowledge would grow 10 times faster - and think: 10 times as many customers for all goods! world markets 10 times bigger! world war costs way down!<br><br>nah...let's stick to the good ol' ways, and grow bigger and bigger and bigger weapons so's WE win...peace would be boring...grab, and loot and kill and be killed...yay!...forever...or...at least, until the bombs are big enough to destroy the planet...eh?...oh yeah...that's a long ways off, tho...the bombs we got now can only destroy all life 60 times over...and no one's gunna use those...except maybe those evil terrorists<br><br>yeah, unlimited overpay [hell, overpay at present is only $10,000,000 an hour] so's a few have unlimited power so they can protect us and enslave us and...<br><br>the league of nations, the proto united nations, was founded because armaments firms were fomenting wars to sell arms...what was driving the armaments firms?...the golden vision of unlimited overpay...unlimited overpower<br><br>the more overpaid you are, the more underpaid you have made others...so the more people who think you are bad...so the more your wars cost...so, the quicker you get poor, and conquered...like the british empire...like the whites in south africa...like the spanish empire before that...the roman empire...every empire<br><br>full satisfaction [what the rolling stones couldnt get] comes from moderation...in overpay and underpay...you can do a lot with $75,000 a year, cant you?...expecially if social costs, welfare, immigration control, airport security, defense costs are way down...hell, the cia, most of the bureaufatcrats, could do productive work, like you and me - have real lives, not having to worry about where the next enemy is going to pop up from</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><br><br><br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>
