The Rich, the Poor, and the Reverend.
Nobody Reports
I came across this little gem today:
Reverend William Symonds preached a sermon at “White-Chappel in London on April 25, 1609. He was trying to convince his countrymen to go to America:One of his arguments about the tyranny in England was this:
“The rich shopkeeper hath the good, honest, poor laborer at such advantage that he can grind his face when he pleaseth. The poor metalman worketh his bones out, and swelteth himself in the fire, yet, for all his labor, having charge of wife and children, he can hardly keep himself from the almsbox.”
Sound..familiar?
So, history says: The rich can become tyrants. But at least in the old days, you could move.

About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
