Nobody Must Honor X’s–Mr. T.
Nobody Wins
On X, I follow a man, (Or woman?) called Mr. T. And tonight, he wrote this piece on corruption. It pretty much describes, with one beautiful paragraph, the whole government apparatus that now controls, not only our country, but many of the countries around the world.
“Corruption is dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery.” dishonesty, dishonest dealings unscrupulousness, deceit, deception, duplicity, double-dealing, fraud fraudulence, misconduct lawbreaking, crime, criminality, delinquency, wrongdoing, villainy bribery, bribing, subornation venality, graft, extortion, jobbery profiteering, payola, crookedness, shadiness, sleaze, palm-greasing, malfeasance, misfeasance, knavery, malversation, sin, sinfulness, ungodliness, unrighteousness, profanity, impiety, impurity, immorality, depravity, vice, iniquity turpitude, degeneracy, perversion pervertedness, debauchery, dissolution, dissoluteness, decadence, profligacy, wantonness indecency, lasciviousness, lewdness lechery, wickedness, evil, baseness vileness. “The process by which a word or expression is changed from its original state to one regarded as erroneous or debased. the process of decay; putrefaction.–Mr. T.
It seems, sadly, that the state of corruption has been the norm throughout history.
Here’s a few quotes from “The Education of Henry Adams” and what he thought of politics.
HENRY ADAMS:
“Politics, as a practice, whatever its professions, had always been the systematic organization of hatred.”
“No professional diplomatists worried about falsehoods. Words were with them forms of expression which varied with individuals, but falsehood was more or less necessary to all.”
“The effect of power and publicity on all men is the aggravation of self, a sort of tumor than ends by killing the victim’s sympathies: a diseased appetite, like a passion for drink or perverted tastes: one can scarcely use expressions too strong to describe the violence of egotism is stimulates.”
“The point set for study as the first condition of political life, was whether any politician could be believed or trusted.”
By the end of his famous book, Henry thought the whole government was so corrupt, it couldn’t be saved. He thought the Constitution was dead.
And not much has changed, has it? All you must do is listen and watch our news. To many, America will be gone by the next election
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.
