The Plutocrat - Kahlil Gibran

In my wanderings I once saw upon an island a man-headed, iron-hoofed monster who ate of the earth and drank of the sea incessantly. And for a long while I watched him.

Then I approached him and said, “Have you never enough; is your hunger never satisfied and your thirst never quenched?”

And he answered saying, “Yes, I am satisfied, nay, I am weary of eating and drinking; but I am afraid that tomorrow there will be no more earth to eat and no more sea to drink.”

CBS Report: 81 congressmen going to Israel on break

mohandasgandhi:

It’s no secret that Congress has always been very pro-Israel but jeeze, this is a little excessive. I’m so glad we’re paying these guys while they’re romping around in Israel.

Of the 81 heading over, 55 are Republicans and 26 are Democrats, The Post reports. Half of the freshmen Republican reps - 47 of them - make up that group, and many of them will be visiting Israel for the first time.

The article makes it very clear that AIPAC is paying for the trip. Think about that. A foreign government’s lobbying group is paying for 81 of our congressional representatives to visit their country… and this isn’t the first time they’ve done it.
