Theocracy? No Thanks

You can't help but see, read, and hear about the calamity going on in Iran these days. Once again the "Do as I say, not as I do" gang, demonstrated to their people and the entire world, Theocracies don't work. How can a society dedicated to a religion of peace, and love, turn around and slaughter, maim and wound its own people? That does not make any sense. Alas, through-out history, mankind's supreme objective is to create a "Utopian World". In the "Real World" however, this, just will never, ever become a reality. The only thing a Theocracy creates, is greed, corruption, deception, and ignorance. So the next time someone attempts to inform you that this is a "Christian Nation", tell them to go back to school and learn history. Look, no election runs smoothly, and without a hitch. Just look at the City of Chicago for a great example. No person in politics, or the media will admit this, but when you can hand-pick your opponent, you are pretty close to a Dictatorship. And when you think about that, it's like Theocracy's twin. "Do as I say, and not as I do".

Religion is always a touchy subject. But when any person views a blatant disregard to theological teachings to their own people, something is very wrong. Where I come from, you can't claim to be a "Man of the Cloth", and deceive, cheat, manipulate, and oppress your own people. That's not doing good, that's just plain evil. A very long time ago the people of Iran thought it was a "good idea" to make a "Man of the Cloth" their Supreme Leader. I figure after about two weeks of that little experiment, they knew a gigantic mistake was made. Ever since that time, those same people searching for that elusive utopia have been oppressed, as their "Supreme Leader/Ruler" and his cronies made-out like bandits. Just take a look at them (the ruling class). They are well-fed, well-dressed, well-groomed, slightly chubby, yet their own people wear Adidas clothing and shoes, and that's only if they can afford them. Don't get me wrong, I'm not slamming Adidas, they make fine apparel. But if you have eyes, you get the picture.

I could elect to go off on a rant about Theocracies, and its twin brother/sister Dictatorship, but that is a major waste of time. The bottom line is simple. They Just Don't Work. Never Have, and Never Will. Now Do as I Say and Not As I Do.

But then again, that's just my opinion. I would love to read yours.

Happy Father's Day
