An Inauguration to RememberDisclaimerI expect there will be some people who will respond to this as if I were suggesting it could really happen. They’ll berate me as an idiot and tell me it’s legally impossible or just say it’s ridiculous, there’s no way.Duh! I know! I’m just trying to make a point.Please consider this my first purely fictional blog. It should be categorized as unbridled fantasy

SYMPHONY OF SORROW

Plutocracy in A minorA Concerto for Avarice and EmpireThe u.s. has been performing a very discordant symphony going on nearly three hundred years. It’s getting more dissonant every day now.There is a particularly disturbing trend in amerikan foreign policy. Occasionally most of the nations of the world get together and come up with suggestions to improve some aspect of life on earth for everyone.

How Long Will it Take to Face the Truth?It is with some reluctance that I embark upon this project. The controversy and contention surrounding the events of 9/11/2001 are deeper, more profound and divisive than even that surrounding the murder of John F. Kennedy.I once believed that the events of May 4, 1970 at Kent State were the darkest I would live to see in this country. Sadly, I was

If He’s Such a Great Guy, Why Does He Shun His Adoring Public?Why do you suppose it is that, wherever George W. Bush goes in the world only a carefully selected few may hear him speak? If he were just a great guy, as he would have us believe, why would he find it necessary to isolate himself everywhere he goes? If he were a wise and beloved world leader whom everyone honored and respected for his

Shake It and See What Falls Out.To Divide and ConquerThere are not separate “races” within the species Homo sapiens. There are only various, for lack of a better term, ethnic groups. All the peoples of the Earth are relatives in the same sense that a father, son, mother, sister and brother are related. The only race of people on the planet is the Human Race.Any “racial” distinctions that exist

NOBLESSE OBLIGE...In Your Dreams!

FALSE GODnoblesse oblige [no-bless oh-bleezh]NounOften ironic the supposed obligation of the nobility to be honourable and generous [French, lit: nobility obliges]In this instance, the reference is to the modern nobility, the obscenely rich.Let us begin.First, take a deep breath.Now we can begin to untangle this needlessly

Each morning, weather permitting, sometime between the hours of six and nine I take my morning coffee and sit on the cement slab that passes for a patio in my back yard. The presumptive purpose for this action is to capture a few moments of peace and solitude before the rest of the family rises and the daily activity begins. It is intended to be a brief interlude of freedom from the crass

A Brief History of the Not Too Distant Future

A society is by definition a communal entity:3 a: an enduring and cooperating social group whose members have developed organized patterns of relationships through interaction with one another.Notice that the definition reads, “cooperating”, not competing. No such entity exists today in America, or ever has to the best of my knowledge, anywhere, in the history of the world. In the U.S. there is

THE ESSENCE OF FREE MARKET CAPITALISM

Mammon in a New SuitNo one can serve two masters. He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Matthew 6:24Those who wish to subjugate others frequently use a simple tactic that, perhaps due to that very simplicity, is often quite successful. Create a false, highly esoteric model of a straightforward endeavor, then build

Whatever soul America once had is dead.I could have added hyperlinks to every word in this missive to provide “authenticity” for the contents. It would transform the reading of this brief lament into a three-day marathon. There is so much fact out there to substantiate the message that it would take a book of footnotes. Why bother? Those of you who are aware of the truth are, well… aware of the

A Climate of Fear First let me say that unless George W. Bush and his fascist regime are eliminated, the issue of global climate change, and many others crucial to human survival, will remain unresolved. Because of his corporate loyalty, emission of greenhouse gases will only increase. If Bush is not expelled now we will be stuck with him as dictator for many years to come. I do not believe he

Compassion and Capitalism don’t mix.The monsters that own America and most of planet Earth simply don’t care about anything beyond the pathological, insatiable lust they harbor for their own immediate gratification. This small minority of us are genuinely evil creatures that actually revel in the awareness of their loathsome and inhuman actions. They literally worship money and power and will

SACRIFICE

Debts of the Past - Obligations to the FutureThe time has come for the women and men of the United States to step up. For far too long generations of Americans have passed the buck to those that followed. The sins of the parents are visited upon the children. If we don’t lay our lives on the line now and break this vicious cycle, there won’t be many more generations that survive.I recall seeing
