Post 293 A: Theories, thoughts and grippes.
First, a correction. I keep thinking I may have stated Geoffrey of Monmouth's - 'The History of the Kings of Britain' (1136) was the first statement of the existance of King Arthur. But, I cannot find the statement. It may be on post 277 or 276. If I did make such a statement I would have been wrong. Arthur's first appearance in literature was circa 796 in 'Historia Brittonum' by the monk Nennius.
It is interesting to note the Venerable Bede did not mention Arthur in his circa 731 work on the history of England. This even though he had mentioned the seige of Mount Badon. W.voy.com forward slash four zero five six zero forward slash. One usually looks for the first utterance of a person or a subject to find origin of their history. Though I still believe the works of the early writers of the Grail Legend were writing about the Brythonic family rulers of Brittany France.
A theory:
There has been much talk as of late about dark matter, dark energy and the ever expanding universe. I have an affinity for the Bubble Theory of mulit-universes. W.voy.com forwardslash four zero five six zero forwardslash. I purpose the reason everything is still moving outward is because the Bubble Universe from which ours was born is still bleeding into our universe. This, of course, pushes everything outward at an ever expanding rate. And as it gets close to completion or depletion it becomes ever faster.
Political Grippes:
If a politician takes $10,001 from a single contributor he/she is headed for jail. It being over $10,000. But, a corporation can give the same politician $50,000 in stock options and it's legal! This has the added benefit of tieing the politician to the corporation. So if the corporation does well, the politician does well. Doing well in the U.S.A., as it is in Europe, is 3% to 5% growth a year. But, if the corporation moves to China, as General Electric and many others have done, a 10% to 15% growth a year is possible. So, while Democrat politician talk out of the corner of their mouths about how concerned they are about the American working class while at the same time receiving stock options from corporations that have gone or are planning to go overseas. Thus they have no TRUE desire for the corporations to come back or stay in the U.S.. The Republican Politicians are also receving the same stock options and want the corporations to go overseas even faster. Thus their stock is worth even more quicker. They try to put up a smoke screen about how government regulation are what's causing unemployment. In other words the politicians in both parties are not serving the public, just their own greed. They don't want to comment on how the wealthest 1% have increased their wealth by 260% average to 300% in some cases in the past 30 years. That's 8.66% to 10% a years. Where as the average worker is stuck at the pay level that existed in 1996. In other words he's 15 years behind in a pay raise. This while the prices continue to climb. What we are seeing is a game of political Good Cop - Bad Cop. The American public is playing the part of the PERP!
I keep hearing from right-wing friends I have about "welfare." Did you know every household in the nation of Qatar gets a government stipend of $400,000 a year. This is, of course, from oil money. The U.S. Government gives oil companies four billion dollars a year ($4,000,000,000). As if the thirty five billion ($35,000,000,000) they make in a quarter is just not enough! Is it just my guess, or is something really WRONG here!
