No greater manifest injustice than those paid to do good - betraying

I've been on the wrong side of the tracks, all my life; and will probably continue to do so, until the end. Unfortunately, I've grown weary and wary of - purported - public servants, or like kind, being of good faith.

It's as if, being good, is a disease, in America.

Betrayals of trust, comes in many forms. There's family members, nice, who turn ravenous, when someone's going to do and a good pile of green is about to be up for grabs. Also, there's cases like the ones I'm currently working. One is of a 92 year old, who's husband was dying, so the son porked the bank manager,r with money and more, as he rolled his dying father in and illegally signed his parents accounts, over to himself.

The other case, is a sweet 72 year old, who's son is an executive of a financial institution, who stole his father's inheritance, by schemes, then conned his dad to pay for a house (with the father believing that it was the father's house and it was in the son's name, to get cheaper interest). Only to then see the son evict the father, during Christmas. Now that same wretch of a man, has hidden away his aunt (his father's sister) so he can change the will to get the $700,000 house that's been in the family, for 6 decades.

As for me, having attorneys at law betray their client, is par for the course. Also, my partner of many years, who I helped make rich, only to see him gut me like a pig, because "everyone else is screwing you - I {my partner} may as well also.

I would have had a hard choice, at one time, out of love for the man, whether to take a bullet for him, or my family.

Now we have people telling me to lay down and shut up. You are Quixotic and vexatious. Being a Bernie or Bust is no damn good. That I'm no damn good. Even Elizabeth Warren, is now telling all of U.S., to get in line. President Obama's United States Attorney Generals have been no better - neither of them. Though I think Obama is greater than most, he's no JFK. Because I think that way, I'm just supposed to sit down, shut up and swallow the hemloc; for the greater glory of it all.

Wishing the demise of me, or any other adversary, is never a good thing.

So, to all of you telling me to give it up, to surrender to your whims, rigged outcomes, power centers, the annointeds, or the desires of the majority, I have to tell you as politely as I can -

to go stick it!

Never will I give up - Never will I surrender - to a mob, or mobsters, or the venal.


You feel me?

I continue to be a 'sucker' to some and was scammed by a 'friend' out of $3000 that I had saved to try to fix my roof. People have taken advantage of my goodness all my life, and it has hurt. But, trying to be someone or something that you are not is much more painful.

I don't care if some people are rich, I care about how they got there and stay there. We are not animals. Animals usually only kill to survive. Some humans are less than animals and have no empathy for killing those who stand in the way of their fortunes. And, even less human are those who allow or instigate killing for the 'entitlement' of others to get richer.

Let your humanity shine, give to those who love you. Let them bask in your warm light. And, shed a tear for those who have suffered at the hands of the 'entitled', try to help when you can. Knowing that you are on the side of the innocents may be the only comfort that you get, but it is something wonderful.

Sorry for your loss....

My Dad levtured me about not taking Mitt's bribe....said I was stupid....and didn't understand social graces or how the real world works.

He said I was wasting my talents ...trying to help losers.
(This, from a guy who left when I was 10 and didnt see me again until I went and found him at 18...a guy who watched the anti Obama movie ...weekly)

As you stated...it is good...noble...works. And no one would have ever bet that I would have been noble.

But no one can take away from me...the fact I turned down the bribe to be Romney's buddy...as a roaming, robber baron, manager.

And frug'uck anybody who tells me I have to sit down and shut up and vote for a person taking monies from the party (Goldman Sachs) that was partners in destruction of our eToys public company and my career, after their goons abducted my daughter.

Getting this ebol ones into top office...will implode
