“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – Cornithaca Road Signs – “Corruption’s Just a State of Mind”

Corruption is sophisticated, corruption is the “Wild West” — it’s cool, it’s a tool, if you’re upstanding up you’re a fool.

Ethics committees are only for show; they’re a calming measure for the public. It’s not just that they’re useless in promoting an ethical government — every complaint gives a warning to those involved that it’s time to cover up and put on an act of innocence.

Corruption, like bias in government policies, is considered a means to an end — and no more subject to ethical review than the self-serving results it achieves.

Corruption is the cost of doing business. It’s the cost of keeping your job.

Corruption on the quiet.

“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – Cornithaca Road Signs – “Don’t Judge a Book”

Judging by outward appearances is a sure road to intolerance; but judging by a brief association or an isolated opinion can be just as misleading.

There’s more to people than a first page, or a first chapter.

Often the automatic categorizing as “enemy” or even “friend” is all that’s needed to shut down further exploration of what that person really is.

Abraham Lincoln said, “I don’t like that man. I’m going to have to get to know him better.”

If only we could make wisdom a law — or act like it was.

“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – Cornithaca Road Signs – “Live Life like a Bettor”

It’s not the world we want; that politicians are offering. Time and again over the years; people have clearly spoken of the world we want. Not the larger world of rules and rulers; but the smaller world of needs and accommodations — and human compassion. Maybe the best way to bring about world peace; is to make a world of peaceful communities.

“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – Cornithaca Road Signs – “Everything We Do”

You might think that these signs are acknowledging a government by the people — but you’d be wrong: It’s the acknowledgement of a subservient population to an all-embracing theocracy — The Revealed Church of Secular Self-interest.

Don’t tell me you still think there’s any meaningful public participation in government?!

Did “we” decide to have a government policy of discrimination on the basis of race, gender, and ethnicity? Sure, the same way “we” decided on a policy of slavery. Both decisions sprang from the same source –

“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – Cornithaca Road Signs – “Fem Supremacists”

It’s everywhere. The Queen Bee of the New Society. In these days of unabashed arrogance and corruption – don’t pay attention to those bogus “replication crisis” studies; listen for this simple telltale giveaway: their manner of speech. In conversation do they say: “Ladies and men”? – putting themselves at a higher politeness level and revealing a sexist bias. Or do they even say “Ladies and guys” – putting themselves two levels above. Don’t be smiled off with the “sexist smile” – This should be corrected. Sauce for the gander is sauce for the goose.

“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – Cornithaca Road Signs – “All Your Excuses”

All the talk of “it’s your actions that define you” is just talk. And it’s more talk that’s used to cover all those actions and empty claims: loud talk, aggressive and threatening talk.

That’s because we’re living in a world of adolescents — because there is no need, and very little pressure to grow up. And there’s always somebody in the background waiting to make some money and grab some power by encouraging it.

Responsibility has come to mean means that other people have to take care of you — and they will; until it’s time for the shearing . . . or the “bleat” “it’s not fair” “bleat” silence.

“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – Cornithaca Road Signs – “Ag, Gov. and Media – More Than In Bed”

Like “Rural Social Justice” – What? – the plight of rural communities across the county, and their victimization by “City-centric” corporate and government policies, is unreported and unremarked. This is not by accident.

“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – Cornithaca Road Signs – “Ag Disclosure”

When an Industrial Farming business moved into a nearby town, and its farming practices seriously injured neighbors [including brain damage in one child and an infection that necessitated the removal of all the eyelids in an adult] they were legally protected from any wrongdoing by an agricultural “Permit Shield.” Anything that would expose a threat to health, or reveal the subordinate position neighboring rural families are put into as the result of Agricultural Law is NEVER disclosed to prospective buyers or the general public. New York State’s fraudulent Ag Disclosure statement is a tool of Urban Colonialism. The conduct surrounding the formulation and use of this “Ag Disclosure” statement is one of the topics that receives documented exposure in the upcoming “Tompkins County and Tammany Hall” book.
