Tons of sports, parades, activities, food, and having to deal with your family.  Yeah you love them, but sometimes you want to smack them too.

We hope you survived it unscathed.

One thing about humans — they’ll screw over, kill, maim, injure, or torture others for the name of the money. Got a sale on toys or TVs? Kill anyone who gets in your way! Break through the doors, take them off hinges, knock over anyone, punch them in the face!

All in the name of Christmas…. and religious folk would probably say Christmas has something to do with Jesus – love and peace… yet it seems clear for many. The lord and savior is money. Money, money, money. Can’t get enough of it. Worship it, give it offerings of more money to the money — keep the money satisfied. And defend the money with violence! Money demands violence to appease it’s soul.

Or so it’d seem. When money becomes so important that people would become violent, or even injure or kill (even if by accident) another human for it….. it’s time to really rethink and reevaluate things.

Perhaps one of the worst things for community and society as a whole is when schools have to cut programs and courses due to budget cuts — or for that matter have to let teachers go because there’s no money to keep them.

Ever wonder about this? You have schools that are meant to give an education to people for, as people believe, to give people information to become successful in life.

But that’s not exactly true. What schools do, or at least once budget cuts come into play, is to give people an education that keeps the students just smart enough to do basic things (like manual labor), but not smart enough to realize that they’re being screwed over and are really just slaves to the rich. Don’t think so? How many “poor” people do you know that are in positions of power that make the laws of the land? Running the company that pays you (small business owners excluded to an extent)?

The laws of the land are made by the elite and rich. The people in the land are “poor” and “common”. Strange don’t you think that the people who “know the people” probably make more in a few months than your family does in a year — and spends time between their multiple houses while you wonder if you can afford to take a vacation.?

But as long as the schools keep the people just dumb enough not to think and be a good peg, the machine stays together and keeps on popping out more pegs to build a bigger machine. And the rich send their kids to schools that the public can’t afford, that way they’re taught things that actually count or matter. Then these kids grow up, run businesses, enter politics, and keep the system in check by keeping the others in line.

There are times a person has to wonder…. are funds cut to schools because there really aren’t funds, and there’s no money to give to them —- or are the funds cut because the money’s diverted to businesses and people who have things to gain by keeping the masses “dumb”?
