Test

Why are we the way we are?

Why?

      We live in tormultiorous times.https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100004979656851 this is just a test.

Isn't it funny?

   Does anyone remember back to 2008? Congress was given an ultimatum regarding fully funding the banks 100%, regardless of how it affecting everyday Americans. Most of us are still reeling from it. Did they come to the American people before voting on giving the banks a blank check, think back far enough and they never really consulted us about Iraq ( Our spy network essentially fabricated or at least bent the truth ) Just so a President could show his daddy that he had balls. "WMD my ass." Afghanistan I understand and it paid off.

   Suddenly a leader does something so incomprehensible that 98% of the world agreed that the use of chemical weapons should never be used. It's more than a war crime it's down right inhumane. I say we should bomb the shit out of them for 60 day's. Now I'll admit the last minute idea of wanting Congress to come on board caught me off guard. I don't think he's being weak (Per Se) maybe he thinks that with a united Congress behind him, he wouldn't look like a war monger.

    Suddenly every Congressperson is having town meetings to listen. Bullshit it's just another excuse to fight against the Presidents agenda. They never listened to their constituents before, why start now?

   What ever his reasoning, we have definitely lost the element of surprise.

Simple question.  Did the Mayan calendar include a year 0? If not then watch out this December..

Contrast's

     I was born in 1965, in Detroit, MI. This puts me on the cusp of Baby boom and Gen X, (depending who you ask). I spent my early childhood in Virginia then returned to Detroit. My mother is black and my father white. I was baptized Catholic but am non practicing. I've had more than 4 years of college and a year of Technical school but never declared a major (actually I attended schools in the North and South, they don't tend to transfer credits between each other) I found all of these circumstances to have been very special. In short I have never known the surety of normality, where do I fit in?

   As I grew and matured, I wish I had simply stayed on the farm. The violence and the injustice perpetrated on the weakest (and dare I say the poorest) of our society (and the world for that matter) is shameful.  FDR wrote up a document called the Citizens bill of rights. Sadly it probably wouldn't have passed Congress even if he had lived long enough. I hear and see remarks by people (politicians and others) who say if UR poor it’s UR own fault, if you think that you’re as foolish as wrong-way Wainwright was.

     Virginia had wide open spaces, fresh air, fields to run in, streams to fish and beautiful star gazing on clear nights. Most cities have none of these it saddens me to say and things are going to get worse. In the history of the United States there has never been such a disproportionate balance in wealth (excluding the Great Depression) . I still say eating the rich (not literally) before they seriously arm themselves is the best plan, but what do I know? Well I know one thing, and that’s when it’s time to get out of Dodge. The time is approaching. I'm not espousing that doomsday is near but I think our over dependence on technology and the decimation of the non recovering middle class will be our undoing.

   The scales of humanity should be balanced, they are not and because of this the entire system worldwide is in danger of tipping over. If the environment doesn't get us first (ha ha).

What will it take?

    A great President once said “all we have to fear , is fear itself”.

    On any given day how scared are you? About your: health, the economy, your children or other family, etc.  In my life time I’ve heard stories of terrible atrocities committed by other governments and of course our own. I have to tell you that I’m glad I don’t have children because frankly I believe that our rights under the Constitution will be so eroded that we will live under a Fascist Government, disguised as a Democratic Republic.

      This isn’t as wild an idea as you may think, who runs Washington right now? The voters? Be serious, Corporations control DC. Lobbyist are there grocery clerks. This can easily be fixed, campaign finance reform. That Citizens United bullshit was the most insane act the Supreme Court has EVER let stand. Most people will vote for the person they see the most on TV and who has the best performance in debates. All of that cost’s money, in come the Lobbyist’s and the game is over. The gas lobby is a perfect example of this, they know fracing is contaminating the whole of the US. Do these corporations care? After all they have all the rights of a human being short of voting. These companies are exempt from the clean air, water and superfund penalties. Here’s the real kick in the nut’s a great deal of this natural gas will be shipped over sea’s, where prices are higher.

      Well keep your heads in the sand, you’re gonna turn around one day and all the cops will be goose stepping. Don’t say you weren’t warned.

Change is constant but it’s not always for the best…

 

I was born in the mid sixties, Born in Detroit and spent my early childhood in Virginia then returned to Detroit. I found both to be very special. As I grow and mature, I wish I had simply stayed on the farm. The violence and the injustice perpetrated on the weakest of our society is shameful.

FDR wrote up a document called the citizens bill of rights. Sadly it probably wouldn’t have passed even if he had lived long enough. I hear and see remarks by people who say if UR poor it’s UR own fault, if you think that you’re as foolish as wrongway Waynright was. Try living in a major city with a disability and no car. Drivers basically ignore you and are asking for litigation.

Virginia had wide open spaces, fresh air, fields to run in, streams to fish and a nice long school bus rides.

Most cities have none of these it saddens me to say and things are going to get worse. In the history of the United States their has never been such a disproportionate balance in wealth. I still say eating the rich before they seriously arm themselves is the best plan, but what do I know. Well I know one thing, and that’s when it’s time to get out of Dodge.
