Politicians, schmoliticians....

Jaeeezzzzz.... I'm listening to the CBC news, Sunday, post-G20 meeting in Toronto. Apparently Prime Minister Harper is calling the event "a great success". Right.
If the thrashers and protestors had set fire to the Toronto Legislature buildings, taken the CN Tower hostage and set fire to twenty city blocks, he still would have called it "a great success".
What else could he do? He's the PM. He's paid to lie his way through any and all situations and put a rosy, happy glow on it all.... to show "Yeah! I'm da man, I'm still in control....."

Of course, we have only to thank the lack of imagination on the part of the more violent protestors that nothing worse happened.

Then, there's the police chief saying that no one is being intimidated by the protests...
WHATTT!?!?! If that's true, and no one's "intimidated", let those world leaders face the crowds square on. The reason they're holding the meetings within armoured rooms with a billion dollars worth of so-called "security" surrounding them is precisely because they ARE scared!!

Let's face a few facts... if world leaders were truly doing what was necessary for the good of the masses of people, wouldn't most of the people be HAPPY to have them around, and wave happily from the sidewalks as their motorcades drove by?
Instead, it has become increasingly obvious to most thinking and observant individuals [Note: this does not include several southern and mid-west US bible-belt states. Ed.] that the obscenely self-serving greed and selfishness demonstrated by most political leaders has wrought massive damage to the economy, world order, and overall political structures.
You reap what you sow.

Hey, LEADERS!! The chickens are coming home to roost... you let things slide, you ran countries on deficits to the point of financial exhaustion, and now WE are supposed to be the ones to pay the way out of the mess! Grow up and get a real-world education about real life, not the airy-fairy rarefied self-supporting snob culture you grew up in! You are so out of touch with the actual problems of the world, and so god-damned cowardly about even trying to fix things up when you try, that things have no choice but to continue deteriorating. As they continue to do.
Think about it... if you have a pain and take a pill, you expect relief from the pain. If you have a problem, you do something to solve the problem, and if it doesn't work, you don't keep doing the same old non-effective thing over and over... you try something new, modifying it until it works.
World leaders just keep trotting out the same old pacifying lines and fake promises and pledges, and hope they can keep the populace quiet for another year, even as stuff falls apart further!

The globe is now vastly overpopulated... there are only so many people you can put in a boat before it tips. A boat has finite space. So does the planet.
We are sucking resources out of the planet faster than we can ever hope nature will replenish them... what do YOU think will happen when you pour a gallon out of a pail for every pint you put in? Yes... the pail eventually becomes empty. Only you're gonna have 8-plus BILLION people mad as hell at you when the tap runs dry. What do you THINK they're going to do to you when they're so hungry and mad they have nothing else to lose?

You allow polluters to continue polluting, as long as they contribute to your political fundraisers.
You hold international meetings costing sums of money that would've fed a half-million people for several weeks, and wonder why a hungry world is screaming at you.
There is always money for your latest political junket, election and "special event", but you cannot put money towards breakfasts for children in schools, to fund birth control education for starving, ill-informed people breeding themselves into depths of poverty you cannot remotely imagine.
You have your yachts, intercontinental jets, insanely wealthy, bling-soaked meeting places and social arenas; yet you will walk past a starving person on the street and look the other way so you don't have to offer something to save their life.
And you sit there wondering why the world is screaming at you?

There is so much more... the toxified environment, the social distresses caused by lack of education, religion-bloated social environments that prevent people from clearly seeing the rational reasons for why the world is falling apart, warring religious factions, cities decaying into dust and civil strife.....
But I don't have another three hours to list it all.
Give your collective heads a shake and get out of your delusion-lined palaces and see the real damage your policies, beliefs and directives are wreaking.
Otherwise, as you are so fond of reminding others.... you reap what you sow.
