Rape of the Lock

 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.

Robert:  So check this analagy out
 me:  against the people's will
 Robert:  your the small bank
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
 me:  by buddying up with a weight
that is the large banks
 Robert:  all of sudden you truck starts to excellerate
 me:  inertia
 Robert:  the fed owns the road the truck and the gas
 me:  inherent potential kinetic energy
 Robert:  fed drives up to you the small bank and pulls out a pistol
and starts shooting at you as you roll down the road
 me:  too violent
 Robert:  lol
 me:  id stay with the physics theme
myself
 Robert:  they allowed for the banks to roll down the hill and now they are executing them
 me:  they grease the truck wheels, throw weights on the bed, reduce the friction of the road, steepen the hill
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.
