Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for August 29, 2013

God, I hope it is the CEO of HSBC!

So instead of a bail out, it’s a bail in…cool….Volcanoes are hard to argue with….Um, just clean out his pockets first, OK?

This should have been thought of long ago.

There will simple be 10 waiting to take his place.

Oh, Mother, Oh Father, In our time of fear.Grant us the wisdom,Your message for to hear.Send down your angel band,to fill our hearts with power.Oh, Mother, oh Father, in our darkest hour….

Rodney Crowell….

Then we’ll have 10 more…and we add in the politicians and lawyers…

Do we have enough volcanos?

Orion

Its the Stairway To Heaven ( or possibly, tax haven ? )

The quote I heard originally was this: We are as gods, so we might as well get good at it (Meaning our power)…..

Here’s the original quote: " Men have become like gods. Isn’t it about time that we understood our divinity? Science offers us total mastery over our environment and over our destiny, yet instead of rejoicing we feel deeply afraid. Why should this be? How might these fears be resolved?"

British anthropologist Edmond Leach,

Cut to reality, we have more power than any gods ever imagined….We should use all of our wonderful powers to do what is kind….That’s all….

salinasong, thanks…I’ve often wondered why nature is male and female, almost always, but there is only a male god? Doesn’t make sense to me…Turns out, the earliest Christian “cults” believed in a dual deity, but then Roman men nipped that one in the bud at the council of Nicaea…(325)….

The Gods: “It’s not like we want you guys to be giving us your trash like this. But, these bankers are stupid enough to be including their PINs in their wallets next to their debit cards. So, yeah, cool. Throw us another couple when you got some free time.”

Just one Banker? don’t you need at least a few hundred or so?

Measure the banker, first. Make sure he isn’t too plump so he plugs up the hole like a cork. An added benefit: he probably has several politicians in his pocket, so you get to sacrifice them, too.

ceos of goldman sachs, jp morgan, and bank of america should all be thrown into a volcano. after them, will be the us chamber of commerce, the koch family, and donald trump.

Never understood the “right’s” objection to the ACLU. If there is one constant and long-time advocate for the preservation of the Constitution and the Rights enshrined in it and the Bill of Rights, they are it. I guess it is just a matter of they have the misguided mission of advocating for all of those rights, not just the ones in vogue with current conservative “thought”.

So, he’s not too big to flail.

an so goes the obvious….

That works for me.

We are going to need a bigger volcano.

I’m not so sure there was ever a time when the US was seen as a force for good all over the world. There’s always been someone who’s hated the US and as a country, the government has always abused it’s powers somewhere. I don’t think this is singular to the US – I think this is how it goes for all powerful nations.

It’s a good start…

Try a Lawyer next!

Lawyers…always.

I’m with these guys. Make the gods happy; sacrifice a banker.

What, there were no politicians available?

I say yes! With virgins rapidly becoming an endangered species, it would only make sense to start sacrificing bankers instead. Even if you don’t get your wish, you still have one less banker. A win-win situation.

Bankers are businessmen and if you need a loan they are there for you.

Best use of Larry Summers anyone could think of.

Not gonna work. The volcano will just spit him out.

Get his Cayman Island account numbers first.

Wouldn’t a lawyer be a better sacrifice?

QuietDragon, you are a very wise person….and I love your name…..

And the ACLU is a gift from God…..

Keep in mind that when bankers go to Hell they are treated just like any other person with management experience!

Well, he did say he had money to burn. Too bad for him the cash is still in his pockets.

Be Christlike:Horse whip a money-changing Bankster today!
