do you think it will do any good?
The truth? …Tonight? ……No. These days I feel like there’s not a whole hell of a lot
we can do about any of it. The smartest benevolent minds on the planet are nonplussed.
If the Senate is an unlawfully fixed organization (& I’m not saying for sure that it is, but
if it is a gang of people who have worded laws so that they can legally line their pockets
and form alliances that serve themselves the pretentious lion’s share on the backs of the
whole of civilization? Well, then history proves beyond a shadow of a cliché), no matter
if the whole of us are good decent folk, we, the people of this beautiful land, …are toast.
I’m an optimist. I have progeny, so hopefulness is a state of grace that I covet, but there’s
nothing more sullen than the eyes of an optimist in this, our present 21st Century. If the
fix is in and billions upon billions worth of noir backroom deals set the tone and outright
own the pit boss, then you tell me, kind lady, at what table can you or I, or anybody not
taking payola, find an honest game? Seems to me like there’s not a safe place left to live.
Seems to me…like nowhere. & look, I am one for chivalry so saying this to you who is
a mom makes me loath myself a little, but it’s my respect for your strength and acumen
shared here on the forum that obliges me to say it the way I feel it and not blow smoke.
I read these posts…and I see verisimilitude and logic as meaningful as anywhere else in
the media, but I also see the madness and outright vitriol that continues to feed the beast.
So we face our weekdays and chill a bit on the weekends and do for our own and…live?
And we’ll keep taking it and taking it and taking it until we no longer remember who we
are anymore? …& those who’ve raped the illusion of country to death go on to NEVER
pay for their transgressions to humanity and this land of plenty? Just like it went down
long ago to the red people, so does it go down to those not born with silver spoons and
a void of conscience? The little fat cowboys and the wives of sweet-talking gents triumph.
