Even if we’re all created equal – we’re not treated that way. On our crooked way to a doctrinal future; every bend is a different lens – and every categorization: an excuse for a different treatment. Once everything has been taken from those who are unworthy; it will be the turn of those who are less worthy – into a dogs-in-a-pit future of a domed and doomed climate changed world.
Going . . . going . . . gone. The cultural heritage of people all over the country is being fed into the shredder by a doctrine of privilege and hate. Government, institutions, and profit-hungry merchandisers are all lock-stepping to the tune of ethnic genocide. Just look around: where has your ethnicity gone? While American Indians, Alaskan Natives, and Pacific Islanders” have become elevated to the status of races – many ethnicities, with thousands of years of cultural heritage, are being demeaningly discarded as “Non-Hispanic”: not even important enough to be mentioned or respected – and fancy-dancing bigots excuse, minimize, and obfuscate these actions with a disdainful attitude. Don’t take the palliative of “not stating” to be of any worth; “not stating” is not existing; and that serves their purposes just as well.
Today’s socialist “New School Nazis” have all the hate and bigotry of their fascist predecessors – they’re just hiding the armbands – for now.
If you doubt the seriousness of the situation [as you’re supposed to]: just try to get any of it changed and see what happens – you’ll learn a lesson — or they’ll teach you one.
Some people think I want to do nothing but drink beer . . . and scotch — but I write poetry and stuff like that.
Like a circular saw with a sinus headache: you squeeze your eyes shut in reflex – but it makes no difference. Today’s aggressive insistence on doctrinal thinking is not just a buzz in the background – it’s a tool that can cut off your . . . lifestyle. So, if you can’t get to the switch — pull the plug!
We all make mistakes – and the biggest one is assuming you know what something is without taking a good look at it. As a well-known fictional character said: “I’ll play the odds on occasion; but I like to pick the occasion.” Trusting to luck; is trust misplaced – so take a good look at what people hand you before you take ownership — it just might be the murder weapon.
“Uh-oh, that doesn’t sound good!” You know how you can just hear something and know without looking – and not want to look? That grinding, stuttering sound isn’t the wheels of progress: it’s the wheels of our ride – pulling off to the side of the road. Are you going to wait for repairs? Or walk? What if it’s too long a walk — what if it can’t be repaired?
Climate Change is not an arena for solutions; it’s an arena for politics: “Climate Change disproportionately effects people of color” is more useful than “It’s going to destroy us all” – why do you think they don’t spend money on the infrastructure.
I can’t say our extreme weather events of the past 12 months are the “New Normal” – because each of them is merely a nostalgic snapshot compared to what’s already been booked for us down the road.
Our Climate Change predictions are like those billboards that continuously update our national debt or the world’s population: interesting, informative, and totally ineffective in halting our progress towards the final excess.
In the meantime: at least a 3-month supply of food and water would be more prudent than the “3-days” that our government recommends — how many years are some of those blue tarps out there waiting for a roofer?
I wanted to put “Tompkins County and Tammany Hall” on consignment in a College Town bookstore. I sent in the online form – twice; with no response. When I emailed the Inventory Manager; she contradicted the instructions, and said I should have dropped it off so they could “read through to make sure we think it will do well here and be worth your time” – so I did. Five weeks later; I inquired if they had reviewed it yet?She gave me the brush off: “I did give it a once over, and I’m not sure that we’d be the best place to host your book . . . and I’m just not sure it’ll be worth your commitment to our terms.”Pushing the envelope – I assured her that I was committed; and still wanted to place the book on consignment. A few days later; I got the response: “your book reads more like a first draft than a finished manuscript. If you ever reprint your book – edited for grammar, punctuation, and clarity, with a list of works cited at the end – then I would encourage you to bring us that version to check out.”My book was not worthy.The Doctrine in College Town is just one step away from book burning: and maybe this year or the next — they’ll take that step.Tompkins County: Higher education at the lowest level.
We’re on a moving platform: a raft of excuses – riding on a deteriorating society – in a deteriorating world. When everything is going down the shitter at the same time – do you have a sense of movement? Is it really worthwhile to enumerate all the areas where profit, power, and politics have placed a glowing billboard of the future to block our vision of reality?
In “Aguirre, the Wrath of God”; soldiers are trapped on a raft – circling a whirlpool – and beyond any means of saving – and without hope. Our government’s “socialist” policies aren’t about people – they’re about authority – the madness of Aguirre – and it they can’t have the world — no on can.
