i say follow the money. money trails have a funny way of telling the truth. the truth about why. the truth about who. the plain unabridged truth. the people in power are in power for one reason. they have more money than those not in power. i spoze that's the way it's supposed to be. but does that make it right? money & power form the core of the republikan initiative. poopyheads are who spend money to maintain the power it takes to make more money to have more power. its a vicious circle. being that, it shouldn't be that hard to trace the money then, right?

the problem is, those in power, with the money, have control over something else. information. information, unlike money, has a funny way of disguising the truth. 'oh i read it on the net, so it must be true'. one of the more infamous lines of our time. yet, when anybody tries to prove themselves, what do they turn to? the internet. it is the internet, in all its color, that gives not the truth, but the tools to discern the truth. for the truth comes from within. influenced by home, family, politics, money & information. but there can only be one truth in the same way there is only one 'money' - be it a franc, a dollar, or a pound of gold.

now, lets take this a step further. being rich usually conjures up visions of sugarplums and dollar signs. rolls royces and mansions by the bay. being powerful usually conjures up visions of senior politician types, or men with gold badges or lots of stripes. being powerful and rich on the otherhand, is missing that vision. maybe because one generally spars with the other for dominance. can one be rich without being powerful? and vice versa? some would argue that one can be rich without having a lot of money. of course, that's true. rich doesn't necessarily mean having a lot of money. but when we're talking politics and poopyheads, rich means having a lot of money.
