Get Ready To Bow To Canada's Aristocratic Ruling Class

[Locutus]

Frank Herbert warned us that "Governments, if they endure, always tend increasingly towards aristocratic forms. No government in history has been known to evade this pattern". We've gotten to that point in Canada where the entire function of Government is to act exclusively in the interests of the ruling class. Recent examples....

You're thinking about a romantic version of prison. Think about hanging in irons from a stone wall in a dungeon while the hots are applied to your feet with a burning poker. Hanging in irons is the tried and true solution to inmate density problems.

Personally, I favor the old Iron Maiden - just the ticket to shape up all the bad guys. :smile:

You have excluded gals. This genderization of language has to be curbed. My comment was gender inclusive and as such politically correct. I really wish the modulators would get on you types who perpetuate such old fashioned stereotypical discriminations. You're not helping to build the brave new world you know.

I'm quite sure that we have not just "gotten to that point" and that Ayn Rand never had an original thought enter her head. While it may certainly have become more apparent owing to enhanced communication it is nevertheless as old as the written word. Of course our early educations would have left us in a state to now be surprised by revelations of government largesse unearned. Of course the figures mentioned in the vid are shocking nontheless. Certainly the ammounts must have been supplied for aquizition of some product or outcome. I wonder what it could be? I think it a strong indication of the troubled waters ahead where government continuity will be tested, perhaps the extra cash could be viewed as fly paper or legislative glue to bind members to what might be seen as unpopular warlike policies.

The insertion of upcoming policy might indeed be lubricated by increased office supply.

Best I heard was from an old friend - a little guy who couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag and in for being stupid. Big fellow took a shine to him in the shower. Buddy really didn't have a choice in the matter - until he felt probe finding target. That's when he panicked, latch a hold on the danglers - and stood up.

His eighteen months went smoothly.....
