After scanning its face again and again,
I began to scale it, picking my holds
With intense caution. About half-way
To the top, I was suddenly brought to
A dead stop, with arms outspread
Clinging close to the face of the rock
Unable to move hand or foot
Either up or down. My doom
Appeared fixed. I MUST fall.
There would be a moment of
Bewilderment, and then,
A lifeless rumble down the cliff
To the glacier below.
My mind seemed to fill with a
Stifling smoke. This terrible eclipse
Lasted only a moment, when life blazed
Forth again with preternatural clearness.
I seemed suddenly to become possessed
Of a new sense. My trembling muscles
Became firm again, every rift and flaw in
The rock was seen as through a microscope,
My limbs moved with a positiveness and precision
With which I seemed to have
Nothing at all to do.
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.

Like I’ve said….It’s not their contemptible failure at simple arithmetic that’s troubling but it is an interesting anecdote that reflects the obvious failure of Head Start and Affirmative Action.
The troubling this is that this is the way these idiots think. They honestly believe that rich people, regardless of who they are or how they made their money, should simply give money to people to people. And “rich”, to these jack wagons, is anyone who has become successful.
These clods don’t want to work for it, risk for it, put skin in the game for it or any other thing. They look at guys like Trump or Bloomberg and any other person who has money and the first GD thing out of their mouths is that the rich should give their money to the “poor”, viz everyone who works to get through life by being a parasite.
And the US is full of the SOBS

I agree but… by the average Americans standards these morons are rich too and they produce nothing of value, they can’t even comment on the success of others correctly! I dislike Bloomberg but at least he has created something that people are willing to pay for which is more than anyone can say about these 2 cretins and their producers and editors who cleared this claptrap.
But…the science is on their side.
I missed this the first time through the gate. I don’t watch the news. That has done great things for my blood pressure.
Reviewing all this all I can say is; I’m going to continue to NOT watch the news. Thank you and good night.
The half-wits probably never learned that wealth is created. There is not a finite amount of money that a handful of successful folks at the top are hoarding. They didn’t get rich stuffing it in their mattress. They continue to invest it in something that produces a return. My concern is not the grave math error but for these journalists to think, like Jack and Rick mention above, that there are enormous pools of money just sitting in some dude’s safe that could be better used distributed among the population. And suddenly nobody is poor.
Now you see why The Left / Mainstream Media are so puzzled over the cost of nationalized health care. They seem to think half a billion dollars would get each of us one million bucks in coverage. And, therefore, the rest of the trillions we now spend must be going to “greed” and “profiteering.”
But, but, but… 97% of NY Times and MSNBC mathematicians agree so it MUST be true! The math is settled!
get to it.
