I love the red Prada shoes the Pope wears

When the Pope last visited New York City, he lifted his robe to say hello to some of his followers. At that moment I realized what is that one thing I really like about the Pope and it is his red Prada shoes. They are symbolic of what is really behind the robes. It’s a different lifestyle than the one on the other side of the religious customs, the spiritual hats and the stories. It is very different. The Pope needs to figure out how to make sure that what is behind is the same that is visible. He cannot preach and tell people to wear PayLess and he wears the red Prada's. I would say he needs to tell everybody to wear designer shoes, cool clothing and stop covering it up. At this point I would not be surprised if we find out that the Pope actually works or had worked for Goldman Sachs.

Everything is up for sale including your congressman/woman

As a libertarian I am having a hard time expressing this particular point of view. It has to do with the fact the Congress is really a puppet institution of corporate America and special interests. It has nothing to do with you and me. The strings are being directly pushed and pull by the strong and influential community of ex-politicians called lobbyists. Under this current scenario most things that need to change will not change because the status wants it this way because the rules are tilted in their favor so they can win all the time. The question is how do change this. I say public financing of campaigns. Anybody that qualifies as a candidate through getting the right amount of signatures, etc., will have access to a set amount of money in accordance to the office they are running for. All the candidates have the same amount of cash. It is an even playing field. It becomes about creativity, personal skills and drive. They can focus on the issues instead of fund-raising. They cannot be bought and therefore more independent minded people can participate in the political game and affect real change. In this way the public is really served and politicians can keep their integrity and not be fund beggars, which is what they are right now. Okay, now we have a chance to see a real shift in America, where the future is bright and fair, how about that? World 3.0

The Wizard of Oz

I was consuming a bit of TV news and reading newspapers after a trip abroad. As I was reading I realized that all this stuff we consider news, in its majority, is all a distraction to cover-up what is behind the curtains of the game we cannot see. It is about making us look in the wrong direction and focus on what is really not important so the game goes on as a little group continues to benefit. This little group has all types of ideologies, political beliefs and political systems - they too are part of the entertainment. The owners of the theatre game run their company called Power and the audience and the actors represent a global movement that is growing in leaps and bounds called the heard. Time to pull the curtain to see who is running the show-the method is radical transparency. World 3.0
