Why Are You Ranking: The Best Ways Capitalism Aligns with the Morality of Life Listed From Death Sentence to Dying with Dignity
With the deaths of celebrities, politicians, authors, and other figures of note, the main reason why we see such outpourings of grief and emotion is because of the wonders of capitalism. It is because of the only moral social system that such figures are emboldened to live beautiful, bountiful lives. For the most part, people of renown live well past their seventies. A few exceptions due to overdoses, suicides, and other calamities remain. But the vast majority of the people who make impressions on the world the most experience longer, healthier lives. The most prosperous amongst us have the means to seek the care of the best doctors in the world to heal them of their ailments. Due to the capital that is pumped into life preserving medicines, treatments, and operations, great amounts of the people that make news headlines when they expire could’ve thanked the semi-free market system for carrying them all those years. Cancer can strike at any age. From childhood to senior citizen, the disease is still just as deadly as it was when it was first discovered as early as 1600 B.C.E. In an era where diagnoses can be made in advance and where people don’t have to suffer as much as past generations, illnesses can be discovered, treated, and possibly cured or at least go into remission. So many celebrity deaths are marred with murder, car and plane crashes, and other faces of death that younger people experience. As far as the more advanced in age, they have experienced longer lives due to whatever remnants of the Enlightenment persist to this day. So get your Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal books for Why Are You Ranking: The Best Ways Capitalism Aligns with the Morality of Life Listed From Wealth Can Buy Health to Dying with Dignity.

Delusional Illusions
John Calvin (Jehan Cauvin, 1509 - 1564). What a guy! A guy for his times but perhaps not for ours. His disciples turned his doctrines on their heads and one result was the Protestant work ethic and capitalism, something that once promised a better world here and now for everyone and of course, for the “elect,” a better world forever (although, if you were not among the elect, well… sorry about that, no hope as you crossed the portals that require that all hope be checked before entering). Kind of like today’s “capitalism” (really more an extreme form of corporate welfare).

North Korean Follies
The recent summit in Singapore between North Korea and the United States is nothing short of historic. Of course no matter what happened during that summit, the US media arm of the globalist NGOs (interest groups) would never allow a positive outlook. Why? The rest of the world seems to be perfectly happy with the first steps that were taken as SOME steps in SOME direction other than a nuclear confrontation were made.

Twiki's Secret Love-child, a Puppet, and a Scientific Experiment
Have you ever wondered what our politicians did BEFORE they took up employment in Westminster? Personally, I thought they just chose the profession where they could most easily screw over the largest amount of the British public as possible. Sometimes I wonder though, about what could have happened in the former lives of these individuals to make them treat others so badly today.

Arming Teachers
Enacting legislation that would place stringent controls on access to assault weaponry, to say nothing of actually banning assault weapons, is plainly the kind of stupid idea that bears no further discussion, no matter how many public school students are shot up to the contrary. The problem is not that people have these weapons, but rather a string of irritatingly similar isolated incidents where no actual law was broken until .223 millimeter rounds began ripping through (stupidly) unarmed flesh.

Lexicography is a wonderful thing. The study of words and language, the strange and fascinating ways in which these words came to be, and how they have linguistically evolved over time, is a subject ripe for intellectual curiosity.

Invasion of the Gays
For thousands of years, The Heterosexuals have roamed the earth, living together in harmony, but the peace quickly came to an end when the 21st century rolled around. A never-before-seen species began to sprout like weeds among them; The Homosexuals, more commonly known as "The Gays." Although both sides swim in the same pool of genetic makeup—Homo Sapiens—The Gays are still an obvious danger to the rest of mankind.

Best Trump GIFs of 2017
Politics aside for a second: Donald Trump has terrible posture and even worse body language. His suits don't fit. His ties are too long. His eating habits are awful. This has led to some incredibly awkward and clunky interactions, and if we table some of his cruel and divisive policy proposals for a bit, these moments are pretty funny.
