“The greed of gain has no time or limit to its capaciousness. Its one object is to produce and consume. It has pity neither for beautiful nature nor for living human beings. It is ruthlessly ready without a moment’s hesitation to crush beauty and life.”
Rabindranath Tagore
“Some people continue to defend trickle-down theories which assume that economic growth, encouraged by a free market, will inevitably succeed in bringing about greater justice and inclusiveness in the world. This opinion, which has never been confirmed by the facts, expresses a crude and naïve trust in the goodness of those wielding economic power and in the sacralized workings of the prevailing economic system.”

@Admin and Pope Francis.
And trust in the any government and it’s agents or any political system to better than the free markets leads where????

“To do better” I’ve had a couple drinks…

But you can’t help but think – Look how those sheep outnumber the wolf! They could trample him.
That being said Zara. Look up some estimates of the good Pope’s church net worth… The “free” market may not be as “free” as we would like, but at least you have a chance.. Not so much with these thugs….
“The Roman Catholic Church should not have “leaders for life” in its ranks, otherwise it would risk being like a country under dictatorship, Pope Francis said on Friday.”
“But in the same interview he said he did not like the idea of an automatic retirement age for popes, for example at 80.”
So, in essence. I shouldn’t be a leader for life. I should only be the leader for as long as I decide I should be… Unless I decide it should be for life… Sound familiar???

Pirate Jo–It’s the difference of a mind set. One is community based and one is psychopathic, self-seeking. It’s the metaphor that the picture represents. The animals are just following their nature.
Wolves don’t eat wolves and sheep don’t eat sheep, but people eat people eat people, economically.
Our good socialist Pope Francis. A socialist Pope! Who woulda thought.
The vatican has recognized the state of Palestine. At least they’re on the right path in one area.

Fuck so-called Amerikan “Christians”: Here, after over 2000 years!, we FINALLY have a Pope that bravely adheres to the letter & spirit of the Original Founder and YOU MOTHERFOOKERS HAVE THE GALL TO CRITICIZE HIM.

Oh, I thought it was a picture of Hitlery Clinton with her flock of sheep.

“Look how those sheep outnumber the wolf! They could trample him.”
They don’t want to trample, even though they know they get screwed and their lives basically suck, they still look to the same wolves to help them, or promise to change (hope) if you vote for them.
From the FB of my very liberal cousin:
“Fuck the fucking system and their bullshit! How the HELL are you gonna say I qualify to receive money, give me the money, and then say “we made a mistake now pay us back $7,000″?!?!?! If I had that kind of money I wouldn’t have needed it from you. I’m going to go drown myself in the bathtub now. FUCK!”
And the comments from her liberal friends:
“WTF”
“and that is why I don’t like the system we have. They can be stupid. I hope things get better.”
“WTH”
“dude. what the shit.”
“WTF”
“I wish I had something worthwhile and helpful to say, but I don’t”
“I how you get things figured out n everything works out in your favor”
“That is fucked. Can you consult a lawyer?”
There. Is. No. Hope. With a majority of sheep convinced voting for more of the same wolves will change their lives for the better.

Off topic, but who cares?
I do know that without Russia the people on the ISS would starve to death.. Figuratively speaking…
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (Reuters) – A Russian Soyuz rocket blasted off on Friday to deliver a cargo ship loaded with food, water and equipment to the International Space Station, breaking a string of launch failures, a NASA TV broadcast showed.
