~ MY ONCE UPON A TIME REPLY TO "THE TINY DOT":
(http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=cd3_1326943063)

~ Once upon a time there were a few people who lead theirselves & they shared everything, which was their method of being a mutual collective. But when they began to grow in number, heads of some "qualified" chosen households were asked to lead them, in a small but wisdom driven leadership role which would insure constructive & productive prosperity for all.
~ These chosen wise were given in gratitude what they needed from the collective's resources. However, after some time, the people began to grow in such large numbers, & so did their inherent problems & survival based tasks. ~ The wise ones therefore began to fear for their safety as challenging moroders & deliberate opposers began to increase. Therefore these few wise ones, not happy with being provided with just basic needs in exchange for their now tediously surmounting tasks, began asking for more than just the survival basics & essentials, they began asking for special favors & protection from harm in return for their continuous & constrictively assigned duties.
~ As time progressed, the population grew even larger than before, but the wise few were kept in small numbers with an unavoidable & impassible increasing agenda of the collective's demands, chores, & tasks.
~ Not happy with this arrangement, the wise few drew up a plan to introduce the modern concept of monetary currency, which would ensure they had a choice of what they could purchase instead of the essential basics which were provided by the collective majority.
~ The collective majority readily took to the concept of monetary currency because it gave them a contagious sense of financial independence & freedom of choice. However, unbeknowest to the collective majority, it was actually a sly & cunningly drawn out plan for the few wise to never again be taken advantage by the majority, who only really cared about their own well being & also took the wise ones for granted.
~ As time went by, this most convenient mutual arrangement slowly but surely became more one sided as the social, financial, & state of well-being began to erode under the own weight of the majority. This eventual corruption & defilement of the majority thus resulted with the then wise men now becoming manipulative politicians, under dire pressure, who could & would take advantage of the declining & rotting pristine image of majority morality that once existed under their careful but tedious tending.
~ Eventually as time went on, the majority sprouted a minority within the majority aside from the now corrupt political elders. This new minority then became the new wise ones who would contest the political elders & their corrupt pontifex, along with some additional challenges to their goal, such as an uncooperative & complacent majority, as well as with the now powerfully corrupt & established politicians being protected by an even larger number of appointed safety enforcers assigned with weapons capable of causing mass destruction & harm.
~ To date, they are all still at a shaky stand-still, with small but not very significant changes, per as the manipulative politicians are still getting richer & the majority is still getting poorer as they become more complacent. The only ones causing any shaking are the new wise minority within the complacent majority & the few manipulative but powerful politicians.
~ Enuff of a story once told,....time for Netflix.
