Something I heard today
My friend told me that he was in the hospital today and some old codger in a wheelchair asked him if he was married. He replied, "no", to which the old fellow replied, "well what do you do for agitation?"

It has been said that the dirty pederfile is now intimately involved with both mother and daughter at the same time.
Whilst hiding in the shadows one day.
Some bastards don't realise how much of a loser they really are. Steve The Pederfilliac has gone to great lengths over the last few weeks to sabotage most of the relationships he has. Of course, he has also continued to attempt to coerce my separated wife to try and set me up to satisfy his ego. This is the same person who we helped to no end after he and his ex-wife broke up in a very nasty way. We housed and fed him for over six months, then helped him to get on his feet whilst he rented the house next door to us. His idea of repayment was to lie to both of us in order to assist the breakdown of our relationship.
I believe that the political climate of the world is steadily becoming more corrupt and deceptive. In New Zealand, we are reputed to have one of the least corrupt governments in the world and yet it is still leaving an ever growing trail of deceit and corruption to the detriment of the people it is supposed to serve.
Kierkegaard writes a proverb that goes like this: "People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they never use.", and Joseph Stalin stated "Ideas are more powerful than guns. We don't allow our enemies to have guns, why should we allow them to have ideas?"
Kierkgaard and Stalin seem to have touched on to something I have observed, namely the brainwashing of the public into silence and submission. It seems that we have been duped into believing that, no matter who we empower as politicians, we will be subjected to the same cruel governance. Why have we been taught to believe this? Could it be that the government really sees us as the enemy?
Leo Tolstoy claimed, "The more that is given, the less that people will work for themselves. And the less that they work, the more their poverty will increase."
Many of our governments appear to be giving us more and more (and, on the surface, they are). The consequences of this, according to Tolstoy, are that our poverty will increase.
It all looks a bit bleak, doesn't it?
What I found interesting is that the non-biblical proverbs rang true, but gave us no idea of what to expect to have good governance. They all seemed to be somewhat satirical or disillusioning.
Here are a few excerpts from a passionate proverbial pontificater at http://www.bible.org/page.asp?page_id=638
'While the Book of Proverbs is often consulted by Christians for words of wisdom on various matters, few tend to turn there for guidance concerning our political involvement. I believe there is good reason, however, why Proverbs is especially pertinent to the subject of politics... Proverbs, then, was written to princes. Here was a king not only instructing his “son” about wisdom in general, but also about wisdom as it related to governing a nation. If Christians are to “reign with Christ” (2 Tim. 2:12), should we not also prepare ourselves to reign in a righteous way?...
... Good Government is Godly Government. Good government is also a godly government according to Proverbs. Three principles which outline the relationship between godliness and government in the Book of Proverbs. Let us briefly consider them.
1. RIGHTEOUSNESS IN GOVERNMENT IS FOR THE GOOD OF THE GOVERNED.
2. RIGHTEOUSNESS IN GOVERNMENT IS FOR THE GOOD OF THE GOVERNMENT.
Since the purpose of government is to uphold righteousness, God requires rulers to be righteous (cf. 16:2).When those who govern are righteous, their administration will be successful and stable.
3. GOOD GOVERNMENT IS DEPENDENT UPON DIVINE ENABLEMENT.
Government deals with matters which are humanly impossible to produce. Righteousness, justice and equity are all God-given. A government which would promote righteousness must seek divine enablement.
While there may be wisdom in separating certain religious functions from political office, there is no way that we can separate righteousness from political office. If the purpose of government is to promote righteousness and to punish evil, how can we avoid defining righteousness and defending it as a part of our political obligation before God?
Characteristics of a Righteous Ruler. The outworking of righteousness in government is not left in vague and academic terms. Proverbs spells out what a godly government will do.
1. THE RIGHTEOUS RULER IS CHARACTERIZED BY EOUITY ANP IMPARTIALITY.
Those in positions of power sometimes thwart justice by showing deference to certain individuals in the community. Proverbs condemns such partiality and insists upon justice and equity.
2. THE RIGHTEOUS RULER IS CONCERNED FOR THE RIGHTS OF THE POOR, THE AFFLICIED, AND THE HELPLESS.
It is possible for the king to abuse his power and to take advantage of the helpless. Ahab and Jezebel, for example, murdered Naboth in order to obtain his field (1 Kings 21).Proverbs recognizes this as one of the dangers facing those in power and urges those who reign not to abuse their power, but to use it to protect the powerless.
3. THE RIGHTEOUS RULER IS A SEEKER OF TRIUTH.
4. THE RIGHTEOUS RULER SEEKS TO EXPOSE EVILDOERS, TO PUNISH THEM, AND TO PROTECT OTHERS FROM THEIR CRIME.
Righteousness is often evidenced by one’s response to wickedness. The righteous ruler will not tolerate sin. He will not practice wickedness, nor will he tolerate its practice or presence. He seeks it out and deals with it.

When will the blinkers be removed?
When will we be freed from our Misery? Poverty? Slavery?
When will we find the courage to face the TRUTH and stop pandering to the LIE that so many politicians have been feeding us for too long?

A certain individual who wishes to publicly identify himself as Steve has decided to violate privacy of those who do not wish to be identified, including both sides of the 'mutual friends and associates' that this undesireable appears to have been backstabbing and double-crossing.
