This Is The Only Change This Blog Believes In

Look - it's the new Democratic Governor of California (AKA "Governor Moonbeam") with a mass murdering cult leader - and he's smiling!

It's so important to stay positive, don't you think?

Suckers.

One of these days, maybe, the rest of you will get "it", as Werner Erhard taught in all those est meetings (and other assorted spirit and self-esteem-building exercises) the Boomers got into:

Jim Jones, despite all his perversions and sick Stalinist mania, still had it right with philosopher George Santayana's creed that "those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it."  It's something that spans across all realms.  

That's the irony:  Too many have still not learned the lessons of the past.  The madness of crazies like this, running cults from the smallest to the largest, religious, secular, commercial, political, even one-on-one, continues unabated to this day.  As do the cult apologists that keep on trying to somehow rehabilitate the Peoples Temple.  Santayana's prophecy lives on.

YessireeBob - you'll get it:

Did you vote for Obama?

Welcome to the cult, baby.

A fan of Oprah - who brought us the cultishly-named failed presidency of "The One"?

Think Hillary's talking to the dead was O.K.?

You're already in the club.

Think Tom Cruise and John Travolta are swell guys?

Well come here, so we can "love bomb" you, Scientology style.

And Madonna's music has become so good since she started Kabbalah, ain't it?

Her latest hits are all the girls are talking about.

And everyone - all at the same time - has had to get into yoga and meditation, too.

You crazy kids and your fads.



Every one of you, a serious intellectual of the highest order.
