Carnival Concept Tent

carnival treats consumer psychology 101

bought a ticket
...forever ago...
crowds have changed
...the turtles always slow...
achilles loses every time
...it's a mediated belief...
consumerism means debt
...and needs relief...

leave that concept tent
...walk away... 
break free
...become abstractly objective...
observe the observing
...they believe the consumer is slow...do you...
their ticket sales are booming
...wake up people...

the carnival concept tent owners/managers are typically psychopathic
...it's they who destroy/destroyed the world...
all for their own wealth gain and survival

I just found this. Your Carnival is food for thought. Many like the fun part of a carnival. Have a good day........

for sure; better to be wrong, having started out with good intentions, than be a puppet of someone else--right or wrong.

Nonetheless, I choose exchange in preference to taking by force.

Yes Sand, it seems like getting power and wealth is like drinking sea water; the more you taste, the thirstier you become
