After God had finished the rattlesnake, the toad, and the vampire, he had some awful substance left with which he made a scab.
A scab is a two-legged animal with a corkscrew soul, a water brain, a combination backbone of jelly and glue.
Where others have hearts, he carries a tumor of rotten principles.
When a scab comes down the street, men turn their backs and angels weep in heaven, and the devil shuts the gates of hell to keep him out.

The richest 1% of US Americans earn nearly a quarter of the country's income and control an astonishing 40% of its wealth. Inequality in the US is more extreme than it's been in almost a century — and the gap between the super rich and the poor and middle class people has widened drastically over the last 30 years.
Meanwhile, in Washington, a bitter partisan debate over how to cut deficit spending and reduce the US' 14.3 trillion dollar debt is underway. As low and middle class wages stagnate and unemployment remains above 9%, Republicans and Democrats are tussling over whether to slash funding for the medical and retirement programs that are the backbone of the US's social safety net, and whether to raise taxes — or to cut them further.
The budget debate and the economy are the battleground on which the 2012 presidential election race will be fought. And the United States has never seemed so divided — both politically and economically.
How did the gap grow so wide, and so quickly? And how are the convictions, campaign contributions and charitable donations of the top 1% impacting the other 99% of Americans? Fault Lines investigates the gap between the rich and the rest.The richest 1% of US Americans earn nearly a quarter of the country's income and... more

Next Year, Employers Likely to See Surge in People Quitting
by: Diane Stafford, Kansas City Star
The job market remains the worst since 1983, but November's unemployment rate improvement — from 10.2 percent to 10 percent — may begin feeding an employee exodus.
Based on surveys, several management consulting and human resource organizations said about half of U.S. workers are likely to try to change jobs next year.
What better proof that this
Sun, 12/06/2009 - 17:59 — Axel Ztangi (not verified)
What better proof that this economy - read "society" - sucks! The decline in "company loyalty" has been in steady decline since the 60's I believe.... What does this say about the waste of "human capital" as the Management Guru's refer to it? Or as I would say, based on the old Romantic view of things, the waste of wonderment and engagement in life? We live lives of "quiet desperation" said the philosopher (Thoreau) and every charlatan has taken this quote to serve their "positive thinking" purpose. But it comes down to this: we strive for dignity but the work we are compelled to do hardly ever achieves the quest we each harbor for personal fulfillment. Another quote from Thoreau: "If a man walk in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer; but if he spends his whole day as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making earth bald before her time, he is esteemed an industrious and enterprising citizen. As if a town had no interest in its forests but to cut them down!" In other words, displace your anxieties about a wasted life to the saloon, and "get to work." AZ
