The old rap saying "Cash Rules Everything Around Me" generally rings true no matter where you are. It'd be nice if it wasn't the case, but in the capitalist society in which we live it just is. Of course, the thing is, it's that way everywhere else too. Dictatorships, communist countries...whomever has wealth controls all and that's that. I was watching a show (or re-watching, as it were) on the Knights Templar last night. These fine fellows amassed a ton of wealth before having the Kinf of France turn on them and label them heretics. See, I think where they screwed up was by not raising a massive army...the likes of which the world had never seen. With all that wealth came power and that power could have been sustained through controlled violence. It's what we do today, afterall.
Anyway, the past few days have seen me not doing too much. The weekend had a couple of nice BBQ's and some flag football, as well as some fun in the sun. Currently the wife and I are readying ourselves for the Kansas move and trying to get on top of our mounting medical bills. Man, health care is some expensive shit.
