The

telltale

sign

in

all

this

is..

that

they

kow-

towed

to

the

insurance

company

magnate

(Like finding a drowning person anchored just beneath the

surface of a pool of water ..& offering up a heavy-duty Mc-

Donaldland straw as a means to stay alive & breathing)

A

compromise

more

greater

than

absolutely

no

reform

at

all?

 …Okay.

Audacious.

But it still rubs of polite society play ball for sake of the demagogy

of stoop & self-servitude. The middleman has us by the testes (& ovaries)

and keeps the squeeze on fixed & cold. Sometimes I wish I could have th'mindset

of Ed’s “Lady On a Flight from Dallas” so I could be in a thickheaded-blind-

as-cave-win-win situation all around (oh until the depthcharge that

is time truly does drop the beat).  It just seems to be true

there is so little hope we will  EVER  get most of

the way out from under f#ckthumb.  AND

it SO COULD BE another way.

Prosecutor

The People call Boss Tweed to the stand. [Boss Tweed takes

the stand and is ‘sworn’ in] Please explain to the court: Considering

the wealth of knowledge & philanthropy  ever-present throughout

all of the world, how is it possible that Earth & its people con-

tinue to be bamboozled by Gilded Age after Gilded Age?

Boss Tweed

Because it can be.
