Further in to Poverty

To sum it up, research suggests that poverty is going to get alot worse before it gets better. There are programs that help people to get back on their feet after capitalism pushed them down, but the greater majority have no idea about them. What's scary is the fact that rich white people are still getting more and more money. But since the value of the dollar is going down they have no idea what to do with the billions they are sitting on.

Thoughts on Musical Chairs Version 1 - Wow, first off i hate that game. But I never realized until now what a great mimic that game can be for poverty. The game starts off with their not being enough chairs for everybody, so automatically everyone is in fighting mode. When the music dies, it becomes 'dog eat dog' people jumping over people just to get a seat. But theirs always that pair of people who fight when there is an empty chair not 2 feet away. Its like you get so caught up in the fight you fail to notice the opportunity. Or is that what people what you to think? These rich white folk want you to fight so when you miss your chair you curse yourself..bullshit. As the game goes on there are less and less opportunities available and yet the fight continues. I think that all the people playing should come to a truce, agree to share 1/2 a chair. That way no one gets pushed off or hurt or left in the cold. But of course when you're in the game you don't think logically.

Thoughts on Musical Chairs Version 2 - Okay, this version was completely messed up. People already had their chairs assigned, but kept walking around when the music started up again. It makes me think rich people are fairly ditsy. At one point, in the game one of the 'chosen ones' kept stealing poor peopl chairs, which makes me think that rich people are greedy as well (true). Near the end a black peorson won the game which was either a coincidence or luck. I wonder why the jewish guy got all the chairs though... I noticed that no one wanted to share a damn thing, no one stuck it to the man and said "come over here, and share my 7 chairs". Its sad that even in a game we all have this state of mind where we can't share.

If we ever play this game again I suggests that we get together and share the wealth.
