Musical Morning

Kadizzle and The Commander are awake.  The morning update is in progress.  Last night as you might have figured Kadizzle got into music.  Watching musical youtube videos is a great way to relax.  There is something magical about music and video put together.  Music is very much about emotion.  When you connect music with video that is what you get.

So here we sit listening to old favorites.  The Commander just barked out her first command.  "We are going to get the leaves raked on Monday".  It was not a request, it was a bulletin.

As the commander surfs she updates Kadizzle.  The Commander just brought up how the seas are dying.  Well it looks like the world might end about the time Kadizzle does.  People stare at their cell phones as the world crashes around them.  We live in an age where people live by the motto " I got mine, the hell with you".   The underlying assumption is " I got off my ass and got mine, why didn't you".   In a lot of cases this is true, but lets look at our little town.  The guys who have really done well got a good head start from their daddy.   When daddy gives you the grocery store, or the bank, or the car dealership, you can probably make a pretty good go of it until you run it into the ground.  We all have an equal chance to succeed, but some of us get a much more equal chance.  That is where the inheritance tax comes in.  Some poor hard working little guy is supposed to go up against the kid who inherited a couple million from dad.  People like to sing and dance about welfare.  What is the definition welfare?  Welfare is when you don't do anything, but you get something.  For some strange reason when you inherit vast sums this does not apply.  In the old days everyone agreed, you cannot just die as king, and make your son king.  We did away with that shit, but now we are going backwards.  Big daddy, can make little daddy, and on it goes. What happened to fair, what happened to an equal chance?
