Rubik’s Cube (Elimination of Bad Thoughts)

The arrogance of youth…
The world is not a machine for generating fairness;
Other people especially not so.

If you want to drain everything out of your life?
You are no king or aristocrat:
Your life will never be filled with people dedicated to your happiness.

Uninstall the past 20, 25 years-
Uninstall me-

Emotions come and go with great rapidity

How?
Expect Less.
Expect Less.
Demand Less.
Demand Less.
Expect Less.

Regret Less.
There has been plenty of that…

Always seeking a solution-
But there is no solution-
That IS the solution

A quotation from Ben Franklin

Robbers must exalted be,
Small ones on the Gallow-Tree,
While greater ones ascend to Thrones,
But what is that to thee or me?

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) American statesman, scientist, philosopher, aphorist
Poor Richard Improved (1748 ed.)

A quotation from Twain

Well, I liked the king, and as king I respected him — respected the office; at least respected it as much as I was capable of respecting any unearned supremacy; but as MEN I looked down upon him and his nobles — privately. And he and they liked me, and respected my office; but as an animal, without birth or sham title, they looked down upon me — and were not particularly private about it, either. I didn’t charge for my opinion about them, and they didn’t charge for their opinion about me: the account was square, the books balanced, everybody was satisfied.

Mark Twain (1835-1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]
Novel (1889), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, Part 3 “The Tale of the Lost Land,” ch. 8 “The Boss”

The #EU #omnibus chugs along, copying it's way to success from #US #PrivateEquity and #VentureCapital.

In short; they want you to eat gruel. They want high yields, low nutrition and genetic damage for your family line.

It's basically the new #aristocracy telling you that your standards of living has to decrease so that they can line their coffers.

#SCOTUS’ 2010 #CitizensUnited decision opened the door to unlimited independent spending in federal #elections.

The limits on party spending stem from a desire to prevent large donors from skirting caps on individual contributions to a candidate by directing unlimited sums to the party, with the understanding that the #money will be spent on behalf of the candidate.

The #SupremeCourt had previously upheld the limits in 2001.

A quotation from John Adams

Your “ἄρiςτοi” [aristocrats] are the most difficult Animals to manage, of any thing in the whole Theory and practice of Government. They will not Suffer themselves to be governed. They not only exert all their own Subtilty Industry and courage, but they employ the Commonalty, to knock to pieces every Plan and Model that the most honest Architects in Legislation can invent to keep them within bounds.

John Adams (1735–1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797–1801)
Letter (1813-07-09) to Thomas Jefferson

A quotation from Twain

The question as to whether there is such a thing as divine right of kings is not settled in this book. It was found too difficult. That the executive head of a nation should be a person of lofty character and extraordinary ability, was manifest and indisputable; that none but the Deity could select that head unerringly, was also manifest and indisputable; that the Deity ought to make that selection, then, was likewise manifest and indisputable; consequently, that He does make it, as claimed, was an unavoidable deduction. I mean, until the author of this book encountered the Pompadour, and Lady Castlemaine, and some other executive heads of that kind; these were found so difficult to work into the scheme, that it was judged better to take the other tack in this book (which must be issued this fall), and then go into training and settle the question in another book. It is, of course, a thing which ought to be settled, and I am not going to have anything particular to do next winter anyway.

Mark Twain (1835-1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]
Novel (1889), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, Preface
