The Armageddon Cycle

Forever is never
Then again is always pretend
Fairy tales and fiction
Spinning into webs of lies
Things, people, places
Braking and fading
Dissolving memories
Together together
Hand in hand in this acidic world
We waist away
Everything is passing fast
Time slowly turns to ash
Fading
Vivid colors blowing by
Watching and waiting till we all slowly die
Darken skys slowly hide all our tyes
Till it all crumbles away
Drinking our tears for water the beginning is only the end

More in the nature of Ragnarok than Armageddon with its repeating cycle

Wasn't Ragnarok the Nordic legend of the final battle between gods that would end existence?

Ragnarok is a series of final battles yes, but only ends the existence of the gods themselves. Poor mortals goes on. ]
Read "A Thrall's Tale" for an interesting eplaination of Ragnarok.

Ragnar Danneskjold is one of my favorite charactures of all time. Ragnar: When robbery is done in open daylight by sanction of law, as it is done today, then any act of honor has to be hidden underground"

"Then you will see the rise of the men of the double standard - the men who live by force, yet count on those who live by trade to create the value of their looted money - the men who are the hitchhikers of virtue. In a moral society, these are the criminals, and the statutes are written to protect you against them. But when a society establishes criminals-by-right and looters-by-law - men who use force to seize the wealth of disarmed victims - then money becomes its creators' avenger. Such looters believe it safe to rob defenseless men, once they've passed a law to disarm them... And then that society vanishes, in a spread of ruins and slaughter. "

That is an interesting quote, but are they saying this about political figures or the every day buisness boss and working person? Isn't that how buisness is built? In the end isn't that how our society runs? So how could one dodge that? You would have to get high up enough into the "criminal" chain to change any thing. You would have to dirty your hands first. By then would you still be in the right mind to change anything? Or would you even be alive long enough to do anything?

And with your question you become one of those Ragnar describes.
No company can force you to spend anything. If you consider General Motors to be thieves, buy a Toyota. If you think Coca Cola is exploiting poor Chinese children, get yurself a Pepsi. Boycot is a powerful weapon.
Let's see you boycot the IRS. Only high ranking politicians can do that with impunity, even come back as the boss of the IRS, (betcha Turbo Tax Guytner never pays another dime now that he owns the joint). Even Al Capone went to jail for same.

Ragnar was not in a Thrall's Tale, however, look in Atlas Shrugged for him.
