When you look in the mirror, is this what you see?
Friends, I believe that within all men and most women, there exists a beast like the one shown in the image. It is a beast that, given the right set of circumstances, will reveal itself, will dominate and control its host.
I see suggestions of it in the smiling faces of Netanyahu and Abbas, of Mitchell and Gates, of Mugabe and Murdoch, of Bush, Blair and Howard, of Pol Pot, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, et al. It is clearly evident in the faces of all those who seek to achieve absolute power and infinite wealth by any means, who involve us in wars to make money and to steal land and resources from others, who constantly manipulate and deceive us for their own ends.
I see it in the faces of those who traffic both drugs and women and children, who commit murders and rape, who carry out assaults on innocent people to get a kick, who are found guilty of sexually molesting their own children, who carry out torture and hack off the limbs of civilians, etc.
And it is there in the faces of those who make and sell cigarettes, those who still continue to sell fossil fuels despite global warming, those who exploit people in developing countries by paying them pitiful wages and compensating them little for their raw materials, and those who fleece people, folk like Madoff and his ilk who set up Ponzi schemes, and those who control the Stock markets and the banks.
