Loony Democracy

Democracy - your "common sense" candidates are someone else's loonies and vice versa. You're both right and you're both wrong. 

When to leave

When the "illuminated" crowd is exhorting you to get in ... get out.

Political clergy

Power and control is agnostic about the Mass that makes them high priests. 

The price of doing

Words are easily spent but it's actions that cost.

Inside the walls

Regicide works best when courtiers offer to deliver the poison.

Elite socialism

The "means of production" have nothing to do with average values.

Being put there

You don't ride on shoulders unless the crowd lifts you.

On the canvas

You have to make a statement otherwise all you've painted is a buttock.

Corroding regulators

The problem with regulators is they can become biased and corrupt over time while free markets are always impartial.

Soul call

I don't like all bird calls but it's good for my soul that all birds call.

We are all choosers

Judging another human's freedom to choose how they use a common commodity, money, comes across as dehumanising superiority.

We are

Humans gonna human.

Painful words

When actions and pain are required we find out the real truth behind grandly spoken words.

Between their ears

If we don't listen to other people's thoughts we will only think what is trapped between the palms either side of our shaking head.

Rising rewards

Sometimes the reward for going up a hill is that you get to come back down again.

Shadows of lightl

History has a dark corner reserved for people who abdicate personal responsibility for embracing truth. 

Cracking down

Powers to punish and censor "dissent" always look good when your team is cracking the whip.

Boi that’s accurate

Furry mirrors often let us see more than a reflection can. 

Government waste

If you keep the septic tank stirred you can't see what's in the bottom.

Outward, not back and forth

You can't explore beyond the bounds of the park until you get off the see-saw.

Detecting movement

The risk with waiting to see which way the wind blows is by the time your finger is in the air your arse is the only thing pointing in the right direction. 

Ageless laughter

You're never too old to laugh like a child. 

The maturation of socialism

The difference between socialism and authoritarianism is about one to four generations. 

The free State

When The State is a prison then everyone can be told they are free.

Being wrong well

What a rubbish life it would be if I could never be wrong or learn from someone better than me. 

The price of principle

When you have to pay deeply for your principles only the true of heart take out loans against their integrity.

Root causes

You can throw a freshly unwrapped urinal cake into the trough but the same bastards will still piss all over it.

Stand on your own ground

People can't look down on you if you don't kneel where they tell you to.

Let things run their race

If yelling at horses made them run faster then auctioneers would be jockeys.

Ceremoniously equal

It's interesting how much pomp and ceremony the self appointed leaders of egalitarian societies demand. 

Navigating propaganda

It's hard to plot a true course when what we are told drifts in the winds of political opportunism.
