Cultural Psychosis

When facts are misnomers
and life is just numbers
When the cards are stacked
and our conscience is hacked
When we elect kingpins

The house always wins

Maureen, good luck with the elections there! We have a king here now in the US, and he's surrounded by elite billionaires. They are the house that will always win if they can stack the deck even more. Thanks!!

That’s about the size of it Maureen, welcome to this new world order, is it a house of cards built without a foundation, of course not, surely a majority wouldn’t elect someone like that! the mind boggles in psychosis, cheers David
