it's a tough world in which we find ourselves.

no one wants to be the King? it's a pretty tough job.

so, without a King, what should we be doing next? anyone know?

vel, since there's no takers at this point, I think i'll throw a low club if that is ok?

I think I would begin to address the human population reality. is it a problem? well, not yet, but the time might be coming?

anyways, there's my low-club. whatcha got to counter? grin

I would make Gus the court jester. Give him one of those funny hats and watch him dance and tell funny stories.



But that's just me.

I'd hunt and fish, screw good looking women, party, and burn 10 barrels of crude a day just because I fugging could, then I would die and some other ass hole could take my place.

The problem with being King is that even with ultimate royal power the people have a way of becoming unruly and trying to depose you. So my first step would be to subvert their naturally rebellious nature into areas that are of little threat to me, i.e keep them turned against themselves. Then I'd gradually poison their very souls, capitalizing on the lowest and most animalistic forms of human nature to subvert and drive out their rebellious natures without them even being aware of it.



I'd take over all news media and have two rival groups of newscasters rousing the rabble with altered versions of every event, keeping them (the rabble) divided and at each others' throats. They'd also constantly broadcast stories of celebrity misbehavior and so forth to divert the rabble's attention away from any issues that actually affect their lives.

I'd install a representative body and allow the people to vote for their representatives to allow them the fantasy of having some power over their lives. However, I'd control who becomes a candidate so it wouldn't matter who won, I would own the winner of any election and the elected representatives would owe their very existence to following my orders.

I'd create several opposing religious factions to further divide the populace on a global scale and instill religious fervor into their already divided political animosity.

I would provide entertainment that would appeal to the lowest instincts of human nature, subtly debasing the morality of the populace.

I would encourage the disintegration of the family unit, substituting my royal self and royal entourage as the family figure to which they owe their loyalty.

I'd provide free food and amenities, poisoning the souls of the populace and lowering their self worth to a sub-zero level, making them completely dependent on me and my largesse and deathly afraid to lose that largesse.



I've done a pretty damn good job of it so far, don't you think?

Well, if'n I was the King and running this Earth, I would.....

..... be doing the LORD Jesus' job. So, I'd better bow the knee and ask Him to take the throne. (He'll know how to run things.)

Gus, you have to be spiritually alive to understand these questions you pose. Please open your heart to the LORD and then the light can come in.
