600 miles of road today after a comfortable hotel stay last night, and a question has been hounding at me. If individuals and governments are invariably out for their own self-interests, and carelessly so, while unwilling to take responsibility; when money moves legislation and buddies are the mainline movers & shakers, …then whatthehell are we arguing about here on the dbis and on this continent? Even “the church” fits into this equation ~ the biggest, baddest, architectural castles of extravagance and capitalism made easy via tax exemption, dotted all over the landscape from city to countryside and yet propping-up partisan (whole hog capitalistic, tax spending maniacal) politics from the pulpit, then how is there any possibility of ever recovering from this hailstorm? This bailout is ludicrous, & yet the market forces (not the market itself) appear to be pushing it through, opening the floodgates for the kind of irresponsibility that would put the average citizen behind bars and fighting for freedom and struggling with self-doubt and even shame. I gota tell ya, I’ve been knocking this around in my head all last night and today, & I just don’t see the up side anymore. Help me here. There’s so much cronyism on both sides of the presidential race. We’re being had, people. Ron Paul is much closer to the truth, in my humble opinion, & yet he’s apparently not an alternative. What is a vote when all it does is bring a changed face, …but more of the horror … with a slightly different take on the same bad ideas perpetuated like a nightmare we don’t wake from? Sure, the only present vote I see is Democratic, for a few reasons which we’ve gone over and over. But I can’t see how the money-pipeline allows for the best notions of we, the people, liberty, Constitution, democracy, an honest living, and civilization in balance with the natural state. …I’ve said it before, …& it’s getting more and more obvious…, there’s just not a big enough pie to sustain the gluttons who have us all chained to the post. Isn’t it obvious enough yet?
Between the meaningless/ambiguous suicide of a 22 year-old, bereaved matriarchal figures, … and the industrial stain my lungs and flesh were force-fed all day driving through miles of road construction, …and this burning, nagging, subject of economic calamity and the foul use of lives and livelihood by the few for sake of the many, …I’m beyond exhausted. Maybe it doesn’t matter, …just my problem … so fuck off and deal with it? Cool. Will do. But it’s still a nagging question nonetheless………………….. Whatthehell are we gona do?
