You are aware that CEO's in other industries are also paid sums completely out of line with their contribution to the bottom line.

U can argue that if every other sector is getting more expensive than so should energy as

well. & you would be pragmatic. But, buddy, it is the all across the board mad dash pirate

that is breaking the backs of all that is left of us here on Blckdog’s big blue Belew Marble

So upon the horse of good quiescence

I mount awareness which comprehends

The selflessness of both persons and things

 Through time inspected by analytic wisdom.

His whole life’s wasted on this crooked path

In dealing,  usury,  farming,  and business

Conducted with legal tricks and deceit.

Such a crook and shyster completely

Involved in all sorts of evil action

Is  called  the  mainstay

Milarepa was a bore so much of the time; a hobo preacher, but there’s something therein. 

Your guess is as good as mine ~ better, even, if your head is in the books,  but pie is pie.

And my pie analogy from a while back still stands IMHO and it shows all around us now.

I’m just knockin’around the block with my mind kicked in on  every  other  corner,  man.

New arrivals oscillate well with earth and sun and spend every new minute eking away:

It’s just cyclical economics, son?  Deception going on!  Plasti-form packaged humanity. 

Time as history has an honest effect on our now no matter how fraudulent the storybook.

[caution:  end-of-sentence preposition ahead]

Actually, I often like your explanations for things. It’s clean.  & I take heart in the notion

that you are well written and probably very well versed in whatever topic you respond to.   

But I just gota hunch there’s some truth to the really fucked-up explainations imaginable.

Not because I’m a naysayer, not even remotely (unless I am), but because of pure poetry.

Often it is very honest in both intention and result … and often it is blown wide open bro. 

I vote for you as Treasurer, Ross, you lay it out as you see fit and we’ll see how it wears.

But the other magician might not be quite as humanitarian as you, right there beside you, 

& right here beside me & right there beside my good mama & her noteworthy memories. 

it’s just that … well … something itchy this way comes when I read about severe profits

in a time when my neighbors are putting their really nice single family homes up for sale in

a buyers market. Deaf ears n the choir please remain seated, all others to the Bat Copter.
