Last night's lakers "win" got me thinking.
In this world, its essentially being run by crooks and "bad" people. Many of the most successful people are crooks running monopolies (Gates, CArlos Slim, Walmart, David Stern). It extends outwards in other arenas too. Sure, nice and good people can be happy, but when we're talking about "winning", it seems that bad things always happen to good people and good things happen to bad people. Evil dictators run nations, big business runs all, whatever.
Sure, some get caught (i.e. Madoff), but they always end up winning in the long run. Here and there, there are a few "good" people that may persevere and do well, but those are pretty isolated.....Extends to politics.
Maybe the "Darkside" is the path to enlightenment?
