   I've painfully found all too many times that if the cost is high, it   
   detracts from all other factors because how  reliable or efficient in   
   performance can something be if you're always having to throw money at it?   
      
   > It's gonna be one or the other.   
      
   That's no *choice* at all...so I'll say what Captain Kirk said in the   
   episode entitled "Operation Annihilate" - "I WANT THAT THIRD ALTERNATIVE"!   
      
   > Voltaire explained why refusing good ( and thus accepting bad ) because "   
   > good " isn't perfect, is a fools game.

   *ACCEPTING* BAD???   
      
   That’s what made this MESS in the first place, starting in the Garden Of   
   Eden when a couple of WICKED IDIOTS decided that PERFECT Good wasn't 'good   
   enough' for *THEM*...they 'Wanted' to Experience Evil also...and through   
   their STUPID act of Rebellion and Disobedience, they did precisely   
   that...and the  result has been a Veritable HELL ON EARTH ever since...for   
   Every Creature...getting ever Worse!!!   
      
   That's something we Must  RESIST on a Constant 24/7/LIFETIME basis. It's   
   called Fighting the  Good Fight of Faith!!!   
      
   > I know.  Many others do also.   Some apparently don't.   
      
   That Comrade Hillary is a Red is common knowledge...even among Idiots.   
      
   > Nope, she'll finish it.  Mark my words.   
      
   She'll certainly try...she's tried it before...it's part of her track   
   record.   
   But whether *Americans*, as opposed  to those who only take  up space here,   
   go along with it, is another matter.

   I wrote a song that covers that situation, on the  second  album, Ignite The   
   Sky:   
      
   6. Why Are You Asking Me?   
      
   verse1   
   you got up this morning but not really feeling right   
   was it just a bad dream in the middle of the night   
   or could it be that everything's not really all that bright   
   and pretending can no longer help your feeling so uptight   
      
   you say that it's a strange sensation like it's in the air   
   there's no way to avoid it because it's everywhere   
   a constant sense of dread as though life is one big scare   
   you want to know what I can do now you want me to care   
      
   prechorus1   
   but I've been telling you for all so many years   
   'til I'm blue in the face and it's driven me to tears   
      
   chorus1   
   so why are you asking me   
   I've told you time and time again how things were gonna be   
   unless you quickly wake up open up your eyes and see   
   while we can still avert this looming vast calamity   
      
   verse2   
   remember when I warned you this was coming in advance   
   how you called me names and kept insisting there's no chance   
   but now it's getting hard to do your brainwashed song & dance   
   'cause reality is finally overpowering the trance   
      
   and now you're realizing things ain't really what they seem   
   a nightmare camouflaged to look more like a pleasant dream   
   than the horror that it truly is a monstrous wicked scheme   
   by hard core terrorists whose plans are totally extreme   
      
   prechorus2   
   and although I tried so hard and did my best   
   you still chose to be a Fool just like all the rest   
      
   chorus2   
   so why are you asking me   
   I said we must get off our collision course with Tyranny   
   but you didn't want to hear you'd rather disagree   
   and that's why now you're whining 'bout it so pathetically   
      
   bridge   
   and to think that you once said we never had it so good   
   even while the virus just kept spreading like I said it would   
   too cheap and too lazy to work hard to pay the price   
   to keep our Heritage despite the Founders' sage advice   
      
   verse3   
   so will you stay awake this time or just go back to sleep   
   now are you convinced that what you sow is what you'll reap   
   the seeds of sloth and apathy produced the vines that creep   
   into our lives and Liberty until we're in too deep   
      
   and you thought the paparazzi was somthing to abhor   
   but look up at all the SpyCams - Orwell's 1984   
   still think it's a Free country as it once was long before   
   are you another casualty of their PsyOps War   
      
   prechorus3   
   it's your turn to be concerned to do and think   
   but there isn't much time left because we're hanging on the brink   
      
   chorus3   
   then why are you asking me   
   it's time for you to get involved to save our Liberty   
   while there's still a chance for us to once again be Free   
   and restore those blessings to ourselves and our posterity   
      
   you must do your own part not prevail on yours truly   
   and so I'll ask you once again why are you asking me   
      
   That song is a small glimpse into the very near 'future'...some future!   
      
   > I know one who won't. Actually, they told someone I know just today that   
   > all that bad stuff about Hillary is just lies made up by the republicans.   
      
   That's a Zombie like I said...not even inclined to *Think* beyond the   
   Hegelian Dialectic Manipulation they're being Subjected to...of that   
   'democrat' and 'republican' Nonsense...Nothing but a set up  - 'good' cop   
   'vs' bad cop - Tweedle Dee & Tweedle DUMB - or more accurately, Thesis and   
   Antithesis!!!   
      
   > Read the Voltaire quote again. It's gonna be Trump or Hillary. Pick one.   
      
      
   Jim   
      
   Like the Three Stooges episode where they're going to be executed, and told   
   "You can either have your heads cut off or be burned at the stake"...to   
   which Moe replies, "Cut my head off"...to which Curley responds, "Not me!   
   I'd rather be burned at the stake"...to which Moe replies, "Why's that"? To   
   which Curley replies, "A hot st(e)ak(e) is better than a cold chop" Nyah,   
   nyah, nyah ;)   
      
   But this Designed Absence of a CHOICE is no laughing matter!!!   
   And the  very least we should  do is NOT GO ALONG WITH IT...because as   
   Captain Kirk said:   
   I WANT THAT THIRD ALTERNATIVE!!!
