A nice scotch is worth more than a penny too.

Both the scotch and the paper bag work.   The iBag and iScotch.....not so much.    You don't get what you used to for a penny.

Good question. We've just started our latest round of "Job Classification Survey" with the stated goal of "ensuring all employees are fairly compensated."

Meanwhile, it's really going to be about weeding out the expensive employees. Especially ones nearing retirement date.

You're quite possible the weirdest internet troll I've ever seen.

You make inane, poorly edited, video clips that you just randomly link after an equally inane comment. 

Surely you get something out of it, otherwise you wouldn't be wasting your time continuing to do it.  Im having a hard time seeing what that is though.  The fact that you've been here for almost 3 years is strange too.  I can't figure you out Duke.

Meanwhile; fiat death, proper warIII breaking out, a "NWO" seemingly assured with centralized everything, a sheeple blissfully waiting to be culled.

And so we sit.

.......but we continue to discuss & live the unreality that presumes "this" will still exist in the future.

Blame the Americans for not seeing the obvious & letting Ron Paul get slapped down, ditto the rest of the World.

Blame the Us...the "knowing" for Our sanctimoniousness in action. 

Blame, most of all, that Few Elite... that have set this up and have been profiting for centuries from killing us & centralizing whatever they can.

....of course, around 1890 they understood a World BIS fiat was the key. Ww3 should clinch it...

Bahh bahh, & so we sit.

But keep the humour going right?

Late Lament

(Graeme Edge)

Breathe deep the gathering gloom,

Watch lights fade from every room.

Bedsitter people look back and lament,

Another day's useless energy spent.

Impassioned lovers wrestle as one,

Lonely man cries for love and has none.

New mother picks up and suckles her son,

Senior citizens wish they were young.

Cold hearted orb that rules the night,

Removes the colours from our sight.

Red is grey and yellow white,

But we decide which is right.

And which is an illusion.
