Totally Uncensored

If the word ‘Censor’ makes you think of R rated, you may not find it here. Instead, this is the where I put my uncensored thoughts (well, some may be R rated). It will have lots of unrelated stuff, boring and interesting alike. I know that it will not bring many readers, but I have no ambition to make it into a source of income, or use it to make a name in the world. So why do I do it? Why do YOU do anything at all? I feel like it, and this is good enough for me – at least for the time being.

Can we Change the World?

This is a tile from the 12^th century, found in Toledo (Spain). It says

The rules of society:

The poor works
The rich exploits him
The soldier defends the two
The contributor pays for the three
The lazy rests for the four
The drunk drinks for the five
The bankers swindle the six
The lawyer deceives the seven
The doctor. kills the eight
The undertaker buries the nine
The politician lives off the ten

On the other hand, similar sentiment is expressed, in one form or another, in many old texts, so what's the hack; August 26, 2012 at 6:20 PM
