In the way of Superman and Batman, we need a superhero.

In society, there will always be power. Remove money from the mix and all power will shift to politicians. Capitalism is a less cruel way of distributing power. It's not perfect, but it's better than a lot of methods.

As long as inheritance taxes remain intact, the dynasties will shift and fall in time.

By the way, if you haven't noticed, most ultra-billionaires end up giving away the bulk of their wealth. Buying a legacy is very expensive. Maybe they are the heroes.

Partial credit.

Capitalism offers opportunities but all power is, is the means to impose your will on the world. WE'RE GONNA DO IT MY WAY. The Marine Corps motto says it all. SEMPER FIDELIS = hooray for me, and fuck you.

I'm sorry but I just don't get sexually excited imagining Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, or Mark Zuckerberg wearing a cape and tights.

...we need a superhero.

We need someone who can stand up to those.

As it stands now, we're all helpless. We don't have anyone on our side. We need a superhero.



Does anyone know who will be our superhero?

Let me guess... superheroralph?

Nah, although a good dog, a big sheep dog who saved me from a wolf, he's just a dog.

Wait, now that you mention it, you may be onto something. Underdog was Superhero. Superhero Ralph already has the name. He only needs a cape and super powers.

I wonder if I switched his dog food from Purina to...Mighty Dog if that would give him super powers or just bigger dumps.

"Here Ralph. Put your cape on so that we can go for a walk."

Your dog wrote stories on Lit? That explains a lot.

Actually, my dog doesn't speak any English. He just barks. He did understand as many words as any normal 2-year-old.

I wrote the stories under his name. After staring at him for several hours, he would telepathically tell me what to write.

After a while, especially on a warm, sunny day, the tinfoil hat the I had to wear to receive his canine thoughts became quite uncomfortable.

Then, a blessing in disguise, with the passing of SuperHeroRalph, God rest his sweet soul, I decided to write stories under my own name, my real name, SusanJillParker.

Thank you for your interest and for your post. I was so happy to illuminate you. Consider yourself illuminated.

Peace be with you. Go with God. So long. Goodbye. Shalom. Ma'aasalaama."

We need a proper macro-economist in the White House, that's what we need - the US version of Veroufakis, so that he can really fakis the Fed System.

You're not doing to badly for macro-economists in the US, you have Joseph Stiglitz and Paul Krugman over there. And David Harvey's pretty good on political economics if you're looking for someone of a more marxist bent.

None of them ride a motorbike or wear leather jackets to be sure, but its not his rock star credentials that makes Varoufakis a man that people should listen to.

The average dog understands 200 words.

A 50 word vocabulary is good for half of all speech needs.

3000 words gets you almost to the finish line at 99% of speech.


All the other shit is vocational jargon and academic blabber.

 

[SusanJillParker]

You misunderstood. My dog wasn't two-years-old, he had the brain of a two-year-old.

Now, why would you insult my BostonFictionWriter stories, unless you're here just to receive an angry reaction from me. Actually, there's nothing insulting that you can possibly say about my writing that hasn't been written but hundreds of mal-content bashers already.

Now, I shall put you in the category too. I know my worth as a writer on this site.

If you don't mind, where are you as a writer on this site?

How many stories and poems have you written, more than 1,600 and counting?

How much contest money have you won on this site? I've won more contest money than any other writer.

Do you have any Green E's? No? I didn't think so. I have three Green E's.

Do you have any stories in the all-time most read list? No? I didn't think so.

I had three but deleted two to publish them.

Thank you for allowing me to show you my 14-year-old writing skills.

Have a wonder life.

"Bye."

Pardon? I didn't understand you with your gun in your mouth.
