It's All Human Nature
Sitting back I glance at the television, 40+ inches of HD details makes the images so clear.....so there's no avoiding the vile things airing on networks ranging from ESPN to CNN. The faces of Power, Good, Bad and the Ugly are everywhere.
I observe things. I'm a people watcher 24/7. Those I deal with personally and those I see from a distance. There is a consistency of how power and/or the attempts to gain power effect people. Some folk gain power through their infectious spirit. They stand for something and the force of their will attracts those of a like mind. This can result in the formation of local tribes, cults, religions, government,etc....There does come a point where a leader or a group hit that power ceiling. The ceiling is the point where power is manageable yet still within the checks and balances of the people below. Unfortunately, few people are satisfied with the ceiling. They crash through it showering sharp glass and debris on the people they are supposed to be working with and for.
Hit the jump for a social review of the hunger for power...

Jordan's CBA Stance from 1995
"I can see Clyde Drexler, I can see Charles Barkley, I can see David Robinson and I can see all these stars saying, `Great, it's a good deal,' " he said. "Yeah, it's a good deal for us--for the superstars. But for these young players who are going to move forward and make this league and make the game of basketball as popular as it is today, it's not a good deal for them. That's why we're making this stand."
-SOURCE
....Now ask me whhy MJ is being called a sell out.

"If you're so smart, why aren't you rich?"
I know that technically intelligence is directly related to wealth/success, but sometimes I listen to folk who SWEAR they know all and I can't look but flash back to this animated moment.
Software designer Edward Nygma (The Riddler) returns to his office and finds it locked. His boss, Daniel Mockridge, smugly informs him that he has been fired. Nygma protests, saying that the company, Competitron, is now making millions from the computer game he designed, "Riddle of the Minotaur."
Mockridge airily dismisses this, and reveals that quite a while ago, he tricked Nygma into signing a contract that did not give him any royalties or copyrights to the game, in order to secure the vast fortune for himself. Nygma challenges that Mockridge's greed is no match for his genius, to which Mockridge responds:

Insider Info on Bank of America
Here's a testimonial from a former Bank of America customer assistance employee. She was fired on Monday for offering repayment plans to too many customers, even those who "deserved" the 29.99% APR for making late payments.

Ooohh I'ma get mine......

So this is what really bothers me about the current "bad economy".You see, yeah things aren't' great but depending on your mind frame and how you handle yourself, especially being young the economy hasn't smacCed me in the face as it has many other people.In fact the dropping gas prices have been a welcome change. BUT this morning I come to work and receive an email "sadly" informing my co workers that ALL wage increases for the upcoming year have been canceled.Ain't that a bitch.Now 'm thankful to even have a job but what put my co workers in a funky mood and what put a sinister smile on my face is that my job has been BLOWING money left and right on needless renovations, spending hundreds(at times thousands) on food for meetings that other managers have deemed worthless and a waste of time.Yet they can't pay us?We had an annual summer day full catered picnic that they canceled and replaced with burgers and hot dogs in our parking lot.They canceled our elaborate holiday party in exchange for a 2hour lunch this Friday and the office closing early and no holiday bonuses either.
It's alright though because I'ma get mine believe me.In the mean time my corporate counterparts can eat a big fat donkey dicc.
