The preacher used a really good analogy yesterday, Have you ever picked up sticks in a yard. Some are really bent, some are just a little crooked, but none are really truly straight. When you bundle them up one by one, they seem to form a straight bundle. Perhaps this is like politicians, grouping together to hide their crookedness in the hopes they appear straight and true.
It's just a big good ol' boys club. Democrat or Republican, a lot of the time it doesn't seem to matter. People in power tend to just think they can do whatever the fuck they want, regardless of their political leanings.
Sort of like priests who fuck little kids.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
