Are you a RHINO or a COW?


RHINO through life or just Moooo?

About 30 years and 2 million books ago, Scott Alexander, then 20 years old, wrote a book called Rhinoceros Success.  In this book he wrote that 95% of people are cows, willing to moo and complain and hang around all day chewing their cud, rationalizing why they are victims of this or that and doing nothing to change their lot in life.  About 5% of us are RHINOs, the powerful beasts of the jungle whose thick skin protects them as they charge straight ahead at their goals, unperturbed by the actions of others.

In America today, it has become a state policy to prevent people from becoming RHINOs.  It’s not “fair” that some people have more than others so let’s redistribute the wealth. (Except for politicians who leave office and get a million dollars to give one speech)  You should sacrifice your own welfare for the sake of the hive, like a social insect.  It’s easier to control cows than Rhinos. The entire system from the woefully underperforming school system controlled by self-serving teachers unions, to the bread and circus distraction offered to the people through mass media.  There is nothing on Dancing with the Stars, The Batchelor, or American Idol…on televised sports of any kind…or on social media that will advance your life.  It is all designed to keep you stupid and content as the economy falters, joblessness increases, and the moral fabric of America erodes. 

We accept this as NORMAL today:

A 50% graduation rate from high school in some big cities where money has been thrown at the problem for years by the truckload? 

A 73% illegitimacy rate. children born to unwed mothers, in one racial group?

More murders in Chicago than there are deaths in an all-out war in the Middle East?

Twelve million illegal immigrants living in America and nobody cares?

All your emails and phone calls are intercepted by the government?

50 million people on food stamps?

A congress that can’t figure out how to balance a budget and would rather address trivial issues affecting a tiny minority  than our entire economy that is killing our country?

The list is endless and we  accept it all as if it were inevitable.  As long as we have the same clowns leading our country it probably is. 

We have a President who had this “outstanding academic career” yet nobody who is paying attention can figure out how a mediocre student in an ordinary college managed to transfer to Columbia, then get into Harvard Law, then law review, and none of his classmates can be found to tell us what he was like in school? We still haven't seen any of his transcripts? Well, I guess we are in a country where education is so far into the crapper this is not important to most people, certainly not the Media who are only interested in selling papers, TV ad time, and their own prejudices. 

Anyway, you will have to continue to stand by and watch the RHINOs charge straight ahead while the COWs stand by, chew their cud (that’s a wad of grass for you graduates of American secondary education)  and watch 8 hours of TV every day numbing your minds from the miserable existence you accept.  It is a life brought to you by a government that promises you everything and delivers nothing other than distractions from what is important. It is not the rich man, or the white man, or the man at all that is at the root of failure for those who are not making it in America.  No country has more advantages than ours and fewer people availing themselves of them.  Food stamps and welfare and Aid to Dependent Children are not advantages, they are safety nets, to be used by those who are disabled, and those truly unable to get by, not millions of people who are COWs standing around complaining about how unfair life is when they did nothing and are still doing nothing to improve their lives. Get off your ass and do your part.  Mooooooo.
