A take-off on the famous New Yorker cover: Urban Colonialism doesn’t see the rural community – only vacant land – somewhere between Deliverance and the Dukes of Hazard.

“The World According to Doctrine” — Urbites 12: Megalomania
Uneasy lies the heads of those who always want more. New worlds to remold into their vision. Times have changed — the elite used to pretend they cared about us: now all they care about is their vision.
“The World According to Doctrine” — How to survive a crash – not prevent it
“Put your head between your knees and hope” is government’s answer to riding with an impaired driver – as their drunken progress brings us ever closer to the cliff’s edge.
Their refusal to enact Climate Change regulations that would affect industries; has resulted in Climate Change droughts, floods, and heat that has had an even greater effect on businesses – one that will continue to increase.
Millennials won’t get their hands dirty: they’re too perfect to do anything but blame.
Is there still time? Time before we crash, yes. Time to avert it, no. If having a fatal crash is the solution to repeated DUIs — we’ve found it.
“The World According to Doctrine” — Multi-Bumper Sticker layout I
Thoughts from the edge of our mainstream society – which is where they’ve been pushed out of the way. I you think; you can say “I don’t think so.” If you don’t; you just say “That’s wrong.”
“The World According to Doctrine” — Multi-Bumper Sticker layout H
More bumper stickers; less space. More of your thoughts – no text added. Does thinking increase or reduce stress? It adds some stress of course — but it helps to remove that “Oh, My God!” moment — and increases your lifespan.
“The World According to Doctrine” — Fast Food Justice Menu
Go with the flow and over the falls with our updated, Doctrine-rich, Victim’s fault, Judicial System. Getting picked for Jury Duty is more of a hardship than committing a Felony in today’s legal world – so use your cell phone to cut your cell time: turn the crank of Justice and throw some money in the cup.
“The World According to Doctrine” — GMO Groceries
Food tastes best – when you’ve never had anything better. If you’ve never had the taste of an old hen made into a soup or a fricassee; then the tasteless poundage of today’s juvenile fowl is the standard — and “Everything tastes like nothing” is the new paradigm.
Like setback contractor homes: our food producers push right up to the legal limits to maximize their profits at the expense quality – and rely on additives for any pleasurable eating you think you’re getting.
And what is that strange itch you’re getting down there? Maybe you’re changing with the times.
“The World According to Doctrine” — The New Farm Statement
It’s easy to see the bad times are coming — we’re not doing anything to stop it. It’s the New Normal of death, disaster, and fear – and we’re being taught to accommodate it with a Total Daily Maximum Load of suffering and denial. First we’re taught to blame, then we’re taught to demand, then we realize the reality.
With the New Normal of sticking our head in an anthill; we’re all expendable — Well, that’s what the people who aren’t expendable tell us.
“The World According to Doctrine” — Topsy Turvy Class E Felonies
Everything is illegal to some degree – and you need to pay up for the lawyer – and plead down for the DA’s office. These New York State Class E Felonies have been split into three parts and then jumbled up. Can you put the parts in correct order so they make legal sense?
Topsy Turvy Class E Felonies Solution:
Temperature has degrees, right and wrong has degrees, lawyers have degrees, and criminality has degrees — but only a frying pan has de grease. Out of the fire; into the frying pan — probation.
“The World According to Doctrine” — The Greater Good follows Cornell around
The very word “greater” is emblematic of the reversal of the 1960’s vision of equality for all. Everyone and everything is now categorized and treated differently: according to the dictatorial vision of a government that refuses to answer the questions of citizens; or acknowledge their individual worth.
Important. There, I said it. “Important” is the slide-to-the-side avoidance of openly announcing the corruption and cronyism at the heart of our government’s decision making process. “They are important because . . .” And while Tompkins County’s corporations, institutions, and selected groups are Important – Cornell is IMPORTANT.
But how can they get away with this “methodology of muchness”?
There is no room here for even a discussion of “Urban Colonialism” and its practices – but I’ll give you one example: Environmental Justice. Environmental Justice is mapped to Census Tracts; but Census Tracts are mapped to population: so, in rural areas, these tracts are very large. Large enough to contain the rezoned lakefront homes of Cornell’s affluent elite – and the rural poor living in a trailer park miles away. [By “trailer park” I mean a row of single-wides in a field with a dirt road.] It’s an urban methodology that blends away rural poverty and marginalization into non-existence — and it’s an important tool in Urban Colonialism’s expansion.
