Sheep, Sheep Dogs and Wolves
http://mwkworks.com/onsheepwolvesandsheepdogs.html
This anology misses the point that many other creatures who do not fit into the tidy little story also roam the forests and prairies. I'm guessing this story is told by self-perceived sheep dogs who think they're the only ones with a clue about what's going on. Just like everyone who reads Atlas Shrugged thinks they're John Galt, not one of the lesser desirables in the story. However, I'd venture that several different types of characters lurk just off-stage of these simple stories and they are ready to throw a wrench into the works when their time comes. JMHO.

Thank you for this.
Theres a desperate, existential longing among middle class. Without identity & direction, assaulted from all sides, demagogues are their only hope. Nihilism has become the defining movement of the 21st century, philosophical, political, economic and cultural. The sense of despair is phenomenal.

RUSH?
Pink Floyd
The lyrics are from the Animals album.
I think he meant " Words of the prophet were written on the subway wall"
The RUSH version has it as "studio" walls, and "profits". In reference to the era of album rock, music stores, and "concert halls".
"For a person of my sensibility, you're only left with the Democratic party If you're a compassionate person at all. The whole health-care thing — denying mercy to suffering people? What? This is Christian?" -- Neil Peart
He who will not work shall not be suffered to eat, or something like that. Being hungry does motivate some folks to put down the X-Box controller and seek gainful employment.
Sadly enough.
As for myself, I'm as Christian as the next guy but I reserve immense scorn for those who only use my religion as a weapon, a weapon to force the advancement of governments incessant nannyism, its socialistic tendencies.
Someone shake me awake when Neil Peart steps forward and publicly condemns Planned Parenthood.
A true Christian is a socialist (or - as a minimum - anti-capitalist):
“…You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”—Mark 12:31
“The bread you do not use is the bread of the hungry. The garment hanging in your wardrobe belongs to him who is naked. The shoes you do not wear are the shoes of those who are barefoot. The money you keep locked away is the money of the poor. The acts of charity you do not perform are so many injustices you commit.”—St. Basil the Great
“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.”—1 John 4:7-11
“Jesus Christ was a man who traveled through the land,
A hard-working man and brave.
He said to the rich, ‘Give your money to the poor,’
But they laid Jesus Christ in His grave.”—Woody Guthrie
“Give to everyone that asks, without looking for any repayment, for it is the Father’s pleasure that we should share His gracious bounty with all men. A giver who gives freely, as the commandment directs, is blessed; no fault can be found with him.”—The Didache
“If one of your brethren becomes poor, and falls into poverty among you, then you shall help him, like a stranger or a sojourner, that he may live with you.”—Leviticus 25:35
“Blessed are you if you count the poor as your own family..and share with them that which God has entrusted to you.”—St. Nikolai Velimirovich
“We have created new idols. The worship of the ancient golden calf (cf. Ex 32:1-35) has returned in a new and ruthless guise in the idolatry of money and the dictatorship of an impersonal economy lacking a truly human purpose.”—Pope Francis I
“But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”—1 Timothy 6:9-10
“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon”—Matthew 6:24
Jesus didn't say that the government should take your money and give it to the poor. That would be socialism. He said that individuals should voluntarily help the poor. That's a free market.
Do you understand the difference between compulsory behavior and voluntary behavior? Do you think that Jesus said, "And he who shall have his wages attached and those wages be given unto the poor shall be blessed?" Because he didn't.
thats sounds of silence, simon and garfunkel.
The Pink Floyd lyrics actualy are:
"Everything's done, under the sun..."
Blotto was referencing the Book of Ecclesiastes 1:9
So you did not click on the embedded youtube link link and enjoy it.
Too bad for you.
You are both wrong. The lyrics are from Simon & Garfunkel's "The Sounds of Silence":
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls."
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
.and the words of the prophets were written on the subway walls
No.
That is Simon and Garfunkel's "Sound of Silence".
Think Pink.
Ahhh I was thinking Spirit of Radio:
"For the words of the profits were written on the studio wall
Concert hall."
That is one of the best Rush songs.

Is that reflection really me?
Or is it just what I want me to see?
Would I see differently from the other side,
Looking at me through other eyes?
Or, are both the same and not to blame
For seeing not what neither can see?
ddl ca 1975
the words of the prophets were written on the subway walls...
and tenement halls.
Yep, Sounds of Silence. If anyone remembers, it was the song used in the opening scene of "The Graduate."
One word... Plastics.

Hillary Clinton is still not in jail. That's all you need to know.
if corzine, of anyone from 08, isn't in jail why in the world would you think she would be?
John only killed accounts
Well she is going to have to testify under oath in front a judge so, it may be soon.
Doubtful.
She has the goods on Barry et al, not to mention many many others.
Barry controls the Department of Just-Us.
The Department of Just-Us controls the FBI.
She may be knocked out of the race (likely), but will not face legal jeopardy under any circumstances.
Barry is not a fool.
She will be pardoned.
Everything else will be for show and the entertainment of the sheeple.
No real legal jeopardy will befall her.
Sorry, but that is how they roll at that level.
People on death row don't roll at all, and tell her bill owes me a drug test, we'll be right over get a sample, I let off the hook last time, this time, not so much.
She better take that deal soon then.
She won't, leaving only a solution that has extreme prejudice in it.
Our owners will not let her bring down their sham show called consnt of the governed.
She's playing a very dangerous game for a bit player.
She thought her closet could hold these skeletons (Benghazi, now Servergate)
Her closet is not big enough and now these skeletons are busting through.
Just wonderin' - have you ever met a woman with enough closet space?!
Gonna have to load the gun with silver nails to take down THAT banshee. The undead, they don't follow normal rules...

Maybe history can repeat?
maybe they will put her in a cell with colonel angus
Headed by a Muslim
Roger Water is not Muslim.
Just because he does not support the Zionist Nazi activities of the Israeli Government towards the Palestinian people does not make him any more of a Muslim than any Jew that does not support the Zionist Nazi activities.
Just because you are antichrist as you do not have the fruits of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience) and as you shall know a tree by the fruits it produces, does not mean that I need to support the slaughter and murder of innocent CHILDREN...as YOU DO.
Yes, Yahweh God has a place reserved for hypocrites as yourself.
You certainly do not ascribe to the scripture which states, "Love your enemies. Do kindness to those who persecute you for My name's sake." You support murder, the MURDER OF CHILDREN.
Of course Christ suggested that it is better that you had NEVER BEEN BORN than it will be for you if you harm a child.
Of course Christ suggested that it is better that you place a Millstone around you neck and drown yourself in the sea than to harm a child.
But you support that as you are ANTICHRIST.
Your own words will convict you. There is NO REDEMPTION FOR YOU as you have decided to continue in sin after tasting the gift of the Holy Spirit. You ought to read your Bible. Specifically Hebrews Chapter 10 and Hebrews Chapter 6.
You are damned for eternity, another demon, another dead man walking.
So you are also NOT CHOSEN, eh? For many are called but few are chosen.
Always cracks me up when someone writes "international law" or "Palestinian people".
So who were those people murdered in a firebomb attack by Israeli "settlers" last month?
Palestinian Infant Burned to Death in West Bank Arson ...
Father of Palestinian Toddler Killed in West Bank ... - HaaretzHey dumbass. Not one Jew has been arrested and the evidence supports Arab tribe on Arab tribe violence.
*An 18 year feud between two clans in this village.
*The attack was near the center of the village, not on the edge,
*The Hebrew grammar and handwriting were not correct.
*The next Arab village over firebombed themselves in 2013.
*The "attack" also featured a "crown" and reference to the messiah. There are no violent Jewish groups who use this symbology.
Why does the truth make you so angry that you have to call me names and tell lies? Keep calm, read the following and try not to become violent yourself.
Nine Arrested in Crackdown on Suspected Jewish Terrorists
Meet the Jewish extremist group that seeks to violently topple the state

Saying "Zionist Nazi" makes you sound like a fake-awake clown. The term Bolshevik is more apropos.
Zionism was supported by the German SS and Gestapo.[3] [4] [5] [6] Hitler himself personally supported Zionism.[7] [8] During the 1930's, in cooperation with the German authorities, Zionist groups organized a network of some 40 camps throughout Germany where prospective settlers were trained for their new lives in Palestine. As late as 1942 Zionists operated at least one of these officially authorized "Kibbutz" training camps[9] over which flew the blue and white banner which would one day be adopted as the national flag of "Israel".[10]

" Wondering which of the buggers to blame"
...."and watching......for pigs on the wing."
Had a hakering for that album as of late. I can't get "bleating and babbling they fall on his neck with a scream" out my mind.
There is nothing wrong with eating pork and lamb. At least I can respect the wolves, and they taste like shit anyway.
You beat me to it. Animal farm... :-/
Hedge: give a proper credit.
"All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others."
- George Orwell (25 June 1903 - 21 January 1950), _Animal Farm_
Hmmm, this reminds me of Orwell's Animal Farm. Now what ethnic religious group was portrayed as the pig I wonder?
Probably those God damn Eskimos... Everyone knows they invented private central banking and control the media.
mmmmmm eskimos
nobody can eat
just one...
and those IGLOOs!
cruchy on the outside, and chewy on the inside!

WELCOME TO THE NEW Fiat Fraud, suckers.
Yep, that just about says it all.....
Pigs aren't kosher.
We need a different metaphor.
rats then
So true, we are a nation of sheep that even vote against our best interest and easy to believe in an invisible man in the sky over helping your fellow human being. The wolves rule us because they see us as sheep and many of the wolves used to be sheep and don't want to be sheep anymore. So they prey on the sheep to make their lives better. The Pigs who own the country don't care one bit about the sheep or the wolves, divide and conquer they say. As long as they are getting fat from the trough and living it up they are happy. Each on of these groups have a sickness that enables the others sickness. We are a people who are sick and believe it or not it started with slavery and white supremacy and it made everyone sick.
yep....
Wolves and pigs are pretty smart. Sheep not so much.

There is a moment in time for every nation to go through a period of self-denial when it turns itself upside down and lets itself to be ruled by the worst. Ochlocracy, rule of the mob, just before 'a savior' comes to turn the nation upside down again and launch itself into suicidal endeavour of big war.

Couldnt be. Jews dont like pigs
Cannibalism is strictly prohibited in the Talmud.
This post is anti-Semitic and offensive to pigs.
Then there's 13 words from Edwin Vieira....

We could go for some more k-selected species like wolves.

Nothing and no one will remain unscathed.

Well said.

Does the term pigs refer to banksters, or to cops?
Yes.
AK Press I think was the first to sell this slogan on a t-shirt except ruled by wolves was the last line under a bastardized US flag where the red stripes looked like rifles and the stars in the field were fighter jets. Had me one back in 2001.

“ The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been two hundred years.
These nations have progressed through this sequence:
