Reply to The "poor" make their choice in Politics JoeUser Forums

It may be more accurate to say "The rich get richer and the poor get richer very, very slowly". "as somebody who used to work 120 hour work weeks only to have forty hours of that work week get siphoned straight away into federal coffers" Case in point. Unfortunately - politicians spout off about tax cuts and the extra $600 you get, all the while shifting the burden from the super-rich to the middle class. And for some inexplicable rea

History will judge whether the government we install will stand the test of time. It seems to me - there have been a few successes and many failures. Granted nation building is difficult and I think we are woefully uneducated in regards to the politics of the region.

I will vote for Dubya, because we deserve it. Four more years we will be dug into our own graves so deep, the pendulum will swing swiftly and surely to the side of common sense. Sometimes it takes a leader of great ineptitude to accomplish great things. Then and only then can the new age of enlightenment begin. Led by Hillary Clinton

On Tool... I will just say my favorite track is Faap de Oiad - because it gives me goosebumps. Or it did the first time I listened to it. EOM on that subj. It may be accurate to say - we are all each a tiny cog in the machine of capitalism. For so much of what we do - from dead-end-jobs, to two hour commutes in stop-and-go traffic. Which is not to say there are moments when we become "noble instruments" much like the part of the icebe

Reply to YOU: A TOOL. in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

Superpsych. You are thinking in your own terms. This is what I am attempting to get beyond. Does the chisel have any knowledge of the sculptor? Does it even have a frame of reference? A context? It is not a perfect analogy because the chisel cannot think, so it may be better to consider the sculptor. Perhaps you are here on JoeUser as an instrument of Stardock. Afterall, if the site is commercial,

It really sucks. I cannot imagine what it is like to feel as it has not happened to me yet. My sympathies go out to those who knew him, and out to you. It is tricky business waging war. This is what can happen when you put your unwavering faith in a leader, fall behind your nation and flag, and carry out an invasion on questionable pretenses. You question purpose. And I am sure the thousands of Germans who died in WWII were faithfully "risking

YOU: A TOOL. in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

The chisel does not think when striking the marble. It does not ponder it's existence. It does not ponder it's purpose; the moral right or wrong of the carving. The chisel is simply a tool in the hands of the artist, an instrument. The artist must place the chisel carefully, deliberately. And yet, the artist, who has been commissioned by the wealthy collector, does

Looking back at the state of technology and society in 1904, and given the increasing pace of innovation, what will the future hold? What will a citizen of 2104 think of us today? How primitive will we seem? And please tell me when I can download my conciousness into "the grid".
