Exclusive: Vietnam’s ‘double standards’ in ivory trade

It’s amazing how many countries are still unable…or unwilling…to stem the tide on illegal animal poaching and trafficking of ivory/horn from protected species. More examples of how, left unchecked, the profit motive will always result in corruption due to greed. Communism only makes the problem worse, because ‘somehow’ a few people get to sidestep that whole “everybody is equal” thing, living lives of privilege and excess. Once again…greed and corruption.

Socialism doesn’t require equality for all. Rather, it says that Capitalism must have a conscience. Greed must have it’s limits. You can make all the money you want…AFTER you make sure that everyone is taken care of, and that suffering due to need is negligible. All companies should make sure their employees earn a LIVING wage. THEN they can justify those profits and huge salaries for the management elite. But until they make sure that the companies they run are RESPONSIBLE CORPORATE CITIZENS, those executives should hang their heads in shame for accepting a single penny more than their employees earn.

DAMN. How did I get on a Socialism rant from Ivory trade? Better you don’t get me started today, I guess.

Stop killing the fucking elephants for their tusks god damnit. Just saying.

Thanks…but could ya spare it?
I mean…as like the second highest paid female in the music biz, you coulda maybe squeezed a couple extra pennies. For realz…especially given that a Trump presidency and GOP majority could mean serious shortfalls for Planned Parenthood.
But thanks. Every little bit helps.

The real reason we have an Electoral College: to protect slave states

Politically, it’s referred to as “appeasement”. We’ve been “appeasing” the south ever since 1865 (well technically since 1792, given that the Electoral College original to The Constitution), and it’s time they get onboard with “Slave-Free” America. You know…150 fucking years later.

“In a direct election system, the South would have lost every time.”

Michael Moore: Trump Won’t Finish His First Term

No, he’s not suggesting Trump would be assassinated. Just that he’ll fuck up and get ousted. Not sure how that will work, since he has a majority in both houses of Congress that will protect him from any impeachment attempt…unless he really pisses off the GOP.
