Hey Jones.
Wez resemble those remarks. Pure capitalism is best described by the popular
game " Monolopy" which iis designed to end with a single winner. Two things
happen when the winner emerges.. he winds up with a table full of worthless
paper money., everybody winds up losers, broke and the winner takes a
bankruptcy to avoid having to put the game back in the box, including all
the houses. Communisn is designed for all to wind up the winner.in defiance
of the laws of human nature thus bringing out the worse in man. Capitalism
brings out both the worse and best. All of which proves that man is not
mentally designed to be governed.
The parable of the "Good Samaritan" holds a wisdom for those so inclined to
pursue charity.. (paraphrased for new California lifestyles)..
Regular traveler driving his Hummer down the Jericho freeway spots a person
laying on the embankment.. stops, looks and notices the person has been
beatened and robbed and.. in need of help..He loads the injured and takes
him to the Holiday Inn, Jericho. Recognizing the traveler, the desk clerk
accepts the traveler's Visa card and asks how many nights stay. The traveler
studies the injured man and figures a couple nights sleep and food ought do
it.. and tells the clerk if it takes a couple days longer , bill my card.
The desk clerk is not in the business of charity so when the injured man has
been treated, fed, rested and up.. out the door he goes..
Definitely not your Katrina storm victim treatment theology but the tale
does capture the essense of the correct rebuking of "do gooders" that insist
we must take on the woes of the world when commom sense states the poor will
always be with us if for no other reason than the price of dope in Berkeley.
God works in spite of religion and FEMA.
