denver seems to be starting to work out, slowly but starting to work out. i think eventually i will get somewhere here in time.
you really need to be a sociopath and have the ability to lie through your teeth to make it in the world anymore.
honesty and humbleness don't get you anywhere these days except maybe up above
I agree kc8gpd, that the liars and sociopaths of today do very well and seem to have a hold on power, wealth and our destiny.
Honesty and empathy are viewed as weakness.
Still, we have part 15.
"crackheads kicking my door in early morning hours and the S/O would sell crack right from the department cruisers!!!!! don't bother to ask why the feds let this go on."
Many of the volunteers who try to guide the younger in those "gettos" believe that back in the 80's during the so called "Just Say No" nonsense, the crack-cocaine and "designer drugs" were introduced by elements within the DEA at the time, to purposely steer that demographic into a dark abyss.
I firmly believe it too...considering all the other nasty things these so called honest here to serve agencies so evident now in involvement in a wide variety of unlawful things.
Does "Fast And Furious" ring a bell? NO not the movie.
Anyway now its done through a more "sunshine" approach. Through vaccines and "oops..let it loose" lab experiment viruses and flying syringes (genetically altered mosquitoes) and the use of toxic chemicals in soft drinks and GMO foods.
We still have Part 15....for now. But Part 15, have or lost..is the least of problems to be concerned about.
But not an unimportant one either.
