"Curiosity killed the cat". What evidence is there of that? "Satisfaction brought him back". Seriously? If you're dead you're dead. Right?

So why would anyone say such ridiculous things? Who invented it? What was the purpose?  Why have people continued to use it? To what end? I mean how many other cliches are based on such gibberish as that?

    All knowledge is power Rosie........so many people choose to be nosey and pry into other people business as it gives them a lever over others........the government ,banks, insurance companies ,police exist on being experts at doing it....
    America ,England and every other country Spy on everyone including their allies......God help anyone who spies on them though....you get put to death in most cases......
    We all live in a two rule society........one for the rich and powerful and another for all menials...

    To take a giant corporation to court could take 40 years or more....get a parking ticket and you end up in court days later....

    I take exception to your first 4 words honey. Knowledge is only power if you have  the power to wield the knowledge. We KNOW donjohn is a grade A evil a**hole. We have no power to do anything about it. So we have knowledge but we are still powerless. Now with regard to the rest of your reply I agree . We spy on our friends all the time. The bifurcation of the world is clearly rich/powerful versus the rest of us. It always was that way and it will always be that way. Why? Because so many of the "us" suck up to and admire the rich and powerful. Witness the supporters of donjohn many of whom are blue collar workers who lack college degrees.  They are the ones who voted for him. Go figger! It's one of the strangest oddities I've ever witnessed. They voted in an OPPRESSOR of people like them and believed all his bullsh**. He meant none of it. They don't care. They still adore the guy. SIGH. Thank you for your reply NJ! :)

    I have no idea who do join is Rosie......I can tell though that you don't like him a bit though...

    I honestly believe though if your not courupt ,any politician would not make it to become president or leader of a country....
    The military and huge corporations most likely pick who is going to win any elections.....What's shown on TV is most likely just a front ...

    Knowledge is power Rosie....Blackmail  wouldnt work without it being so....
