Sometimes I wonder ...

And perhaps you should too ....

Do a Google search on "Rupert Murdoch, Koch Brothers". Read the New York Times article that likely comes up first or second. If you're truly adventurous, look a bit further down the list of links for an article that references "The New Yorker" magazine.

Left and Right are trading blows over the billionaires that seem to be funding their causes. I cannot deny a certain liberal bias in my thinking - which I have carefully tried to NOT expose you to, here. At least, not overtly, although I suppose over time my thinking and its direction will have become rather obvious. That said, this 'Left, Right' thing seems to have gotten rather ugly over the years, and lately the Tea Party Movement seems to be the prettied up face to some really radical rightwing stuff that is abhorrent, to me, once you lift up the covers to see what lies beneath.

The thing, to me, is that the Murdoch and Koch money is hidden and obfuscated behind many curtains of deniability, whereas the billionaire behind the Progressives, George Soros has never hid his open support of the Left.

I wonder what might have been had 'Ike' had the balls to stick to his guns and call it like he saw it. I wonder ...


I fear for our future. I see the growing gap between the rich and the poor, between the 'haves' and the 'have nots'. One has to but look over our collective shoulders at the voluminous history of man in his various and sundry attempts at civilization to see a pattern that happens when this gap exists. There is change. There is Revolution. Whether or not the Revolution is violent - Revolution leads to - Revolution IS change. We are going to experience change. I may not live to see it. My children may not even see it. But if things keep going in the direction they seem to have taken over the last few decades, revolutionary change is going to come. It's the form of the Revolution which I cannot see - I just know it's coming. And I wonder ...
