IT ISN’T NEFARIOUS. IT’S DONE ALL THE TIME

My good friend said “Nothing’s wrong unless you get caught.”

Now, he wouldn’t do anything wrong HIMSELF. He’s a goody two shoes.

BUT… he raises an interesting point that has been PROVEN CORRECT to me today.

Dr. Mercola reports that:

The New York Times discovered that Genentech (big biotech company) was telling top Congresspeople from BOTH parties what to say and write (as their own words) into the Congressional Record to help Genentech.

No debate. No questions. No appraisals of whether the laws were good or bad for the country. Just pure control of the Congresspeople for money.

So what did a Genentech lobbyist say about all this?

They said, It isn’t nefarious. It happens all the time..”

Nice one, lobbyist. Why do you make me sick?

~~~

Congresspeople are NOT your represenatives. They belong to Genentech and other companies with MONEY.

okay?

BUSINESS LESSON: Get a LOT of money. Then, do whatever you want to whomever you want. Just be sure to have a law degree and friends in high places. Then, you can own the world. If there is a world left to own.

Greed destroys. An inevitable Rule of Law and Life that lawyers (and politicians) ignore.

Creation ELATION

There is this addictive component of Wordpress Theme development and creation. You experience creation ”elation.” After all, you are… an “artiste.” Artistes live for the agony and the ecstasy.

So, like all good addict artistes, you keep perfecting your art. You scrunch along pixel by pixel, css property by php value. The work is NEVER done.

FINALLY, you finish. Every semi colon properly placed, every dot precisely spaced. But then, while perusing the Web, you are once again thunderstruck with new possibilities and yeah. Off you go to Creation Elation Land once AGAIN.

So, budding entrepreneur, ask yourself Question UNO: Will this help me make money?

~~~

LESSON: All things in moderation. Even Creation Elation.

Turn OFF the TV

Do you want to make money? Turn off the TV. NO Law and Order in the background. You’ll never get anything done.

The suffering for lack of slack jawed hanging entertainment will inspire you. The lonely silence… the vast emptiness sans those familiar, friendly faces.

I can’t bear this. It’s 11:11… (WHOA. You heard about 1111, right?)

Anyway, the more I mention TV, the more I’m tempted to flick the switch, hook up the adapter, and TUNE in.

THAT WOULD be a mistake. I have 1000 or 2thou things to do. If I REALLY mean to make money, I’ll resist the tempation to “Flick the Switch.” “Push the On Button.” “Fondle the Remote.”

BUT WAIT! IT’S FRIDAY!!!!! Egads - give a kid a break why doncha. Instead of hitting the party scene (what the HECK is that?) this Friday, I think I’ll take a break… and…
