Political power, it's a mind blowing thing

What does Pink Floyd's Money have to do with politics? Money is power and power is political.

Now, let's look at the previous post and notice that the people living off the land don't have money, but the people trying to drive them off, do have money.



But, let's look at it on the other side. Allen Parkway Village was a long time controversy in Houston until the Democrats lost Congress in 1994. Shortly afterward, it was redeveloped. The place was a dump and should have been torn down, but politicians were holding that up.

People reading this may not get the point. I think the point is that if you want to accomplish anything of value, you need some political power. In addition, in order to have political power, you just may need money. I hope the point was not too hard for me to make and it can be seen for what I think it is.

Doesn't necessarily have anything to do with justice. It is about power.
