Things Are Very Bad, from ACF

February 13, 2012 |

My dear friends,

Just now Athens city in every corner have fire. Shops, banks, hotels, are burning. As about the stupid politicians they are in the parliament looking how they will offer the last pieces of our country to Merkel & Sarkozy. I am so sad as all the people. Also sad for Whitney Houston, because I liked her voice. Good afternoon to you, goodnight to me.

Love,

Despina.

I don't feel the least bit sorry for her. She did this to herself. I feel sorry for her innocent children and the innocent people in her life that will be so adversely effected by her reckless behavior and her inability to control her desires for the immediate satisfaction that "Dr. Feelgood" delivered. Her children have been given the worst possible example of how to be a responsible adult and as a result will be scarred lessened as human beings. Hopefully, they will escape the chains of bad parenting and the weakness of addiction that destroyed the life of their mother and turned their father into an abusive loser.

Hopefully they will find inner strength that all too few in their circumstances find and rise up from the ashes of lost childhood and become the best they can be.

Can they? I don't know. But let's hope they have inside of them burning desire to live….to survive…that Viktor Frankl wrote about in the first half of the book, Man's Search for Meaning.

I feel the same way about Greece. They did this to themselves. What I do feel sorry for are the innocent Greek people who are going to have their lives turned inside out by the insidious devil known as statism. Because of the reckless behavior of several generations of people indulged in the immediate satisfaction of political "Dr. Feelgood" (statism, living off the government teet), several generations of Ggreeks are going to have to suffer.

A whole generation of Greeks is about to riot….a generation that doesn't understand why there is no pellet delivered to them when they push the lever and, as a result, becomes angry and burns down their maze. They are a generation made weak and crippled by the "Dr. Feelgood" of statism.

It will take their children to begin to realize that the maze was simply a cage and the pellet was drug of statism. Some of them will escape and find freedom, but many (most?) of them will stay in the maze wailing at the machine to give them the pellet that they deserve…..but they'll know not why they deserve it……they'll only "feel" that it's owed them as they wail and chant and burn.

This is cancer of statism. The Dr. Feelgood of political philosophy.

In case the Dr. Feelgood analogy is lost on anyone, I give you Motley Crue and Dr. Feelgood.

    A bit of clarification might be in order. Whitney Houston gave birth to one child. Her ex-husband has other children.

    Personally, I do not understand the statement “to feel sorry” for someone or something. Why even bother to make such a statement. I hate to sound callous but so what that she died. Why feel anything or say anything. This is headline news that will go away in a week. It is akin to looking at a car wreck and then saying “boy what a tragedy” and then driving down the road and forgetting about the event in the space of a few moments.

    Five years ago this past week was the anniversary of the death of Anna Nicole Smith. She was the first of the reality shows. Nobody cares anymore about her or her dead son. The same with such non celebrity deaths as Terry Schiavo. That poor soul was paraded on TV for weeks and nobody remembers her now.

    All fame is fleeting.

    I am reminded of the song Eleanor Rigby who died alone. Nobody cared. All the lonely people where do they all come from.

    As for Greece, the lesson here is that A government that employs a Ponzi scheme attitude toward fiscal responsibility cannot survive. It will soon run out of credit and thus its currency will lose value.

    The greater lesson for the US. is that this socialist central government management strategy we have been on for nearly a decade cannot survive. Fiscally inrresponsible politicians cannot be given the opportunity to destroy a nation through profligate spending absurd Potemkin village money creation and fuzzy math accounting.

    For those of you who hope for a change. Let me bring you down to earth. Nothing will change this year. My prediction is that by year end the debt will have climbed by 1 trillion to 2 trillion dollars. For those of you who think the problems in Greece can not appear on our nation are sadly idealistic misled and ill-informed. All great nations and empires have met their demise through their own dalliances not through other contrivances.

    Forgot how much I loved Motley Crue. Thanks for sharing the song.

    For all you big time celebrities that love a hot bath, 2 xanax, 3 ambien, washed down with a bottle of wine…I suggest that you wear one of these…
