But who cares? Right?

Well, you better care because this is just a hint of what is coming - and what has already come. Our millionaires and billionaires have been on a binge for the last 70 years, plundering the working class and the middle class.

You won't find this story in our commercial newspapers. But there are lots of sites on the web showing how our wealthy are stealing on a  grand scale from all the rest of us and have been stealing for many years.

Oh, this story has made the New York Times - but most of our commercial news media have not mentioned it and won't. Canadians and Americans have been suffering horrible declines in income for fifty years or so. And the money has been pouring into the pockets of the super rich who pay astonishingly low taxes - if any at all.

Check out a site called Common Dreams (adding the words 'decline of U.S. incomes'.)

The rest of us pay high taxes - not to feed and house the poor, not to improve our schools or to make our universities free - but to feed the rich and greedy.

We also pay to cover the horrible cost of the wars of the super rich. We, not the super rich, pay for the brutality of North American capitalism in Latin America. We pay for thousands of missiles to murder billions of people - soon. We pay for the wars in East Africa that have killed millions, wars that benefit only our super rich. We pay billions to ensure that babies and childred die all over the world. (There's a huge burst of this coming to at least 30 million children in Africa. Aren't you proud as Canadian and Americans to be helping our billionares?)

Ever notice that we pay virtually nothing to feed the hungry and homeless of our own countries? Ever notice that we pay billions to make our billionaires happy?

Sorry - that's not accurate. That money we happily hand out to billionaires actually - and very seriously - amounts to trillions. Those trillions that could do wonders of good for all of us are instead stuffed into the pockets of the super greedy.

 And so we begin to die.

There is not the slightest chance that the super rich will ever agree to share this wealth. In particular, there is not the slightest chance that Pierre Trudeau or Biden will ever permit it to be shared. (No. And even less chance that Canada's Conservatives or America's Republicans would lift a finger.)

This is a path our world has followed, perhaps since the origins of human life and through uncounted of thousands of years.Thus our almost unbreakable strings of wars through those wars. (Notice that we haven't had organized wars of lions or sharks, just of humans and, oh, we've had uncountable wars.)

We - or at least some of us - have been evil and greedy throughout history. And so we now are approaching the final days when unspeakable greed joins unspeakable destructive power.  (The Christian churches, incidentally, have been tools of the evil and greedy from the start. Most of the greedy wealthy are avid church goers. Most of them avoid going into their wars - they leave that to the common people. Thus we have a George Bush Family, that happily sends others to war but stays home and attends  church. Maybe this, with November 11 upon us,, is a good time to think about our churches at war. And that takes us to a magnificently written poem - but scarcely Christian in its message.)

"Take up our quarrel with the foe. To you from failing hands we throw the torch. Be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die, we shall not sleep - though poppies grow in Flanders Fields."

This is Flander's Fields, a poem in praise of murder in World War One. And the reality is that the enemy was no worse that we were. They, just like our side, were fighting a war to enrich their wealthy class.

And on Sunday, our churches will, as always, celebrate our murderous ways - just as they celebrate all our wars as we prepare for more "Christian" wars in the middle east and then the big and final one - China.

We are the animal descendants of evil. And we are now at the final stages of this evil.
