Hello Karel,
MV>> Not having enough money to live is a very good reason to be MV>interested
KK> in politics because it is politicians that have the MV>power to actually do
KK> something about it. Nuclear power plant MV>engineers should be smart enough
KK> to figure that out for MV>themselves...
KK> I read back some of your posts and I think they are detached from reality.
In a nutshell, politics is the act of interpersonal relationships.
But when that relationship is nonexistent, there is nothing the other
party can do.
That is why my great grandfather left Sicily. The dictator at the
time (the one before Mussolini) did whatever he wanted, whenever he
wanted, without anybody having the ability to object. Of course, it
took him a while, with 13 kids (11 of whom survived childbirth) to
tow to the USA. And back then, the only transportation available
was by boat. Good thing he was a cobbler as he never drove a car.
Had to walk to New Orleans from New York. That is a lot of shoes.
KK> I have experienced one party politics.
So have I. Here in Louisiana. We had our very own dictator.
Huey P. Long. Really nice guy. Wanted to make every man a king.
Too bad his doctor shot him dead before he had a chance to make
it a reality.
KK> I experienced totalitarian "choice".
We voted for Huey P. Long and accepted his rule with open arms.
After his doctor killed him (over a woman) we elected his brother
Earl. Who was then committed to a mental institution. Good thing
his girlfriend (a stripper) reminded him he was still governor
and could do whatever he wanted. So he fired his doctor and got
out. What a guy. Running the governor's office from an insane
asylum. No modern dictator can top that.
KK> I experienced a police interrogation.
I had that very same experience. Dyslexic cop gave me a ticket
for speeding. And had the court date wrong. An all points bulletin
was issued for having missed the court date. Fortunately, I found
a solution. I gave a small donation to a candidate for mayor. He
easily won the election. The first thing he did in office was
fire the cop. Problem solved.
KK> And that was only Czechoslovakia and even the better times from this era.
Louisiana has the best politicians that money can buy.
Trust me. I know.
KK> It is naive to think that there is a way out of this in a "democratic way".
Money talks. People listen.
For Life,
Lee
