even better: lie, cheat, steal, and hurt those who are ten steps ahead of you. they're the ones with all the money.


I'm sure there's got to be a way of getting ahead that doesn't involve lying, cheating, or stealing, from anyone, no matter how much they deserve it.


I ain't a historian or a philosopher or an economist, but at 37-year old with a relatively eventful life I have the ever-accumulating feeling that the whole system is rigged against everyone except the people at the very top.

Most of us aren't scientists that record their every impression and what it was based on so I can't really tell HOW that feeling grew and solidified in me, but it's a fact that it has been a background observation of mine ever since I hit 12-13 years old, long before being educated on the global economics, wars and social systems.


When you figure out what that is let me know.

Please do not mention getting lucky


yeah, i have to agree.

but, if someone has already made the decision to lie cheat and steal, why target someone just one step above? it seems better to take from someone with a whole lot more than everyone else.
