    A conversation I was having on Gchat about a suitable analogy for the Fed. How it is ultimately about subverting public good to private interest control. Run ramshod over 1913 politics. Etc.
    <span dir="ltr">Robert: </span> <span dir="ltr" id=":1b8">So check this analagy out</span> <span dir="ltr">me: </span> <span dir="ltr" id=":1b9">against the people's will</span>

    <span dir="ltr">Robert: </span> <span dir="ltr" id=":1ba">your the small bank</span>
    your rolling in a truck down a hill
    the fed has allowed you to roll down this hill
    you chuggin along moving at a good clip

    <span dir="ltr">me: </span> <span dir="ltr" id=":1be">by buddying up with a weight</span>
    that is the large banks

    <span dir="ltr">Robert: </span> <span dir="ltr" id=":1bg">all of sudden you truck starts to excellerate</span>

    <span dir="ltr">me: </span> <span dir="ltr" id=":1bh">inertia</span>

    <span dir="ltr">Robert: </span> <span dir="ltr" id=":1bi">the fed owns the road the truck and the gas</span>

    <span dir="ltr">me: </span> <span dir="ltr" id=":1bj">inherent potential kinetic energy</span>

    <span dir="ltr">Robert: </span> <span dir="ltr" id=":1bk">fed drives up to you the small bank and pulls out a pistol</span>
    and starts shooting at you as you roll down the road

    <span dir="ltr">me: </span> <span dir="ltr" id=":1bm">too violent</span>

    <span dir="ltr">Robert: </span> <span dir="ltr" id=":1bn">lol</span>

    <span dir="ltr">me: </span> <span dir="ltr" id=":1bo">id stay with the physics theme</span>
    myself

    <span dir="ltr">Robert: </span> <span dir="ltr" id=":1bq">they allowed for the banks to roll down the hill and now they are executing them</span>

    <span dir="ltr">me: </span> <span dir="ltr" id=":1br">they grease the truck wheels, throw weights on the bed, reduce the friction of the road, steepen the hill</span>
    as the truck picks up steam
    wind blows money
    more and more as the truck accelerates, subverting potential to kinetic energy
    a force captured by the image of a hand grabbing the money in the air, and turning it around and dumping it into a basket just beyond the horizon
    that the large banks then dip their quill in the gold pen
    and sign for the receivorship
    of the truck
    after it crashes
    so after they repair it
    they now own the economic benefits that will be conferred by the long term productivity of the truck
    maybe sell the pieces for scrap metal
    if the truck is totaled too bad
    use that money too
    its almost as though
    from a freudian angle
    the government swells its head with the ego concept of the size of its dick
    and they use the money to buy ever bigger magnums with them
    from whence they can rape the consumer
    not unlike that famous painting
    rape of the lock
    actually
    poem
    well there are paintings of it too
    but orginal idea was penned in verse
    alexander popr
    *pope
    great english writer
    its a concept in art, in language forming by way of poetry
    painting etc
    and it can well be extended to the imagery of the truck forcibly run down hill
    /end analogy

    not letting you get away with calling soccer "football." the brits created the word soccer; we just used it.

    Men that go by their full name rather than an equally acceptable abbreviation are always a little suspect to me. If ya know what I mean.

    Except my friend Jeffrey. He's a flamer.

    I'd say you must be pretty annoying to talk to on aim. I mean, you constantly keep interrupting your friend. Maybe just STFU and let him speak?

    Your not getting it...

    That is precisely the point...we are writing a book together, will be a really fun project to get involved in....and we'll just do stupid shit to get the grey matter moving...he gets on a roll, and i stfu

    and vice versa...this is like a small couple minute snippet of a day long running conversation

    like the fact that we both nearly simultaneously (though not in the same location) blew our respective loads when looking at an account that just came our way...99 million kWh's, then there is the retrofitting of older buildings, it's just a sick system to price out...

    or there is this ordinance that is unconstitutional that is being rammed into being in typical Chicago politics. It threatens Bob (dude in conversation) quite badly. As it is a piece paid for by the hotel lobby to get at the little guy. Specifically, his vacation rental business; which is the largest in the city. So, I got on the horn with this Professor Mandelker, law professor at Washington Univ. Apparently he is the leading land rights attorney in the country. Got him to review the ordinance pro bono. And he said that it is unconstitutional and in violation of settled Illinois case law. So, we are mobilizing/mounting a measured attack on the felonious legislative attempt. Entrenched interest will not undermine Bob and his cohort's business...

    ok

    put conversations all like the above together, and we are in a free spirited, fighting mood and are just rattling off creatively at whim...

    because,

    and here is a key piece of information...

    you dont see the timestamps...so some "interruptions" as you so call them are not quite so...in any case

    Yeah, its kind of against the quick think point to measure all your speech...gchats are for brainstorming and fuck all. I am not going to edit my typing in such an ideational forum.
