Humanity at large is logically intuiting that the same sum spent in the direction of improving the lives of the presently deprived many might readily have brought about better results than race suicide.... |
...Each of the giants of today's great Grunch is a quadrillionfold more formidable than was Goliath.
Each is entirely invisible, abstract, and completely ruthless - not because those who run the show are malevolent but because the giant is a non-human corporation, a many-centuries-old, royal-legal-advisor-invented institution.
The giant is a so one-sidedly biased abstract legal invention that its exploitation by the power structures of thirty generations have made the XYZ corporations and companies seemingly as much a part of nature as the phases of the Moon and clouds of the sky.
Corporations operate on an unnatural economic basis that makes a successful Las Vegas roulette bet a trifling success.
If you bet your money on the fortunate corporation, your bet is paid and repaid to you quarterly, continually, ad infinitum, often more copiously each year.
Assuming an investment of 100 shares at a cost of $2,750 in I.B.M. in 1914 when the company was first formed, it would have grown by June 1959 to 59,320 shares values at $19,308,900, plus $1,089,000 in cash and stock dividends and an additional $101,906 from rights and privileges.
As I have frequently recalled, the grossly mis- or underinformed, 95-percent-illiterate world society of 1900 misassumed the existence of a fundamental and dire inadequacy of life-support to be operative on our planet, wherefore it concluded, and the political-economic system as yet maintains, that it has to be only one or the other of the planet Earth's two great political ideologies which can survive, and that all the people governed by the loser must perish - "there is not enough for both."
The now-predominantly-literate world population of 1981 has developed an intuitive awareness of the illogicality and even madness of all political systems.
All the foregoing inadequate life-support misassuming by both political parties and all the major religious organizations, as earlier noted, has resulted in both sides having jointly spent six and a half trillion dollars in developing the present capability to destroy all humanity within one hour.
Humanity at large is logically intuiting that the same sum spent in the direction of improving the lives of the presently deprived many might readily have brought about better results than race suicide....
