The Whole World Is My (Third World) Country! 2
There are million important things to talk about, and there are million reasons why you should be paying attention. Yet you are busy, busy talking about BenGhazi, you are busy talking about starvation, you are busy talking about Obama's passport while your kids are making they can support.
Not to worry though, if you are a believer in any of the monotheistic faiths, your "sins" are already forgiven and soon a Messiah will come to deliver you.
But wait, what if you are not a believer or the Messiah will not come soon enough, the stuffing of humanity is weak.
I wrote about the "event horizon" that the humanity is facing. It is not science fiction and it does not have to be a conspiracy theory, but the most of humanity, the end is near, you could even see it from a Sarah Palin's house.
We have lost the battle, because we have lost our everlovin minds.
Ever see that card that one side says, " how to keep and idiot busy, look on the other side, on the "other side" the same phrase is repeated. In America today, and in the rest of the world too, billions of people are kept busy flipping the same card over and over and over.
In congress the right keeps holding hearings on Benghazi, captivating millions and the left is blaming the other side for all that may be wrong with the other side, but never mind folks, stay tuned, it will get exciting one day when our leader get something meaningful accomplished. Please, I beg you do not hold your breath, or may be I wish that you would.

This is sad. I am told that (sometimes) my writings can be depressing, you are too kind, don't worry though, I will only commit suicide when I am declared terminally ill. Many people I know have Already killed themselves while they are still living.
Earlier today I posted about John Kerry saying that "it is not Islam but poverty that is giving rise to terrorism, we'll Kerry, welcome to my world.
It has been long acknowledged that poverty gives rise to radicalism. I have noted that Russian revolution, the French Revolution and the Arab spring all had basis in income disparity and ( relative) poverty. The breakdown of the Mexican society, the Syrian instability exploited by outsiders, all have similar upbringing. Actually what is keeping peace in many places, even like China, is social spending and spending on infrastructure, to keep the masses busy.
Around the world, the third world countries have somethings in common, the poverty, the disparity between the rich and poor, corruption, power of big money ( corrupting influence of rich on country's policies).
The rich buy politicians, the politicians manipulate the policies to suit the rich, the rich pay off the politicians, the police and even the military to stay in power. You see where I am going with this?

But I will speak to this point later, not tonight.
There are two things happening in "broad day light" and in your face that you have failed to see.
World wide the poor are getting poorer, the wages are being lowered and the countries, states and towns are begging industries to come to "their place" and they will gladly screw their poor and cater to the whims of big money. Chinese are moving factories to Vietnam and USA corporations are moving production from "high wage" Columbia to Bangladesh, isn't globalism just peachy, screw our American brothers, please.
It is funny, no it is NOT damn funny, idiots. New York and Texas ( and all the rest ) vying to see who can bend over more and take it deeper.
Read here for even more.

That's not even all, the rich have declared that they own you and they don't have to pay any taxes either, tax us and we will take our money and go some where else, and the cities, the states and the countries are wiling to kiss their asses too, so how different are we from say Nigeria or Pakistan any way?
More to follow!

IF. When small children don't get their way, or are otherwise disappointed, they throw a tamper tantrum, grown ups are expected not to!
If true, then we must be a nation of little children. From the left and the right, the tantrums ever grow louder and no one wants to hear the other side, no one wants to budge an inch, no where is it more evident then in our own esteemed Washington, DC.
Hey, why not? We are a nation if whiners and complainers, left and right everyone wants everything and wants it right now, without having to sacrifice anything, obviously.
We want tax cuts for the rich, or unlimited welfare, we want clean environment and drinking water just don't ask us to stop using fertilizers, growth hormones, or to stop driving our cars, big homes and whatever. We want to ban abortion and birth control, but do not dare ask us to stop screwing around or having babies we can not afford. We want school prayer, but don't ask us how some many that HAD school prayer became hippies, druggies and had babies out of wedlock. And that is just for starters.

United We Stand? 2
We are enamored by our media, we love our news, we have free media, wrong!
Freedom and democracy require a free and open media as well as free and open discussion of issues of the country.
First of all it is difficult to have an open discussion and exchange of ideas in a nation where so much information is kept under wraps for reasons of "state security". We have no idea what our government is doing on our behalf and in our names.
Worse, what we call an open and free media is all owned by big corporations and billionaires, do you really think they are looking out for your interests over their owner's?
The media create ideas, implant ideas in your head and nurture these, encouraging you to believe no one else but them, your favorite channel of course. So if CNN or MSNBC make you depressed or disgusted you can turn to FOX any channel any show and soon you are raging homicidal, suicidal maniac, no depression here.
Media are used to separate the populous, to divide the country and to reinforce negative feelings towards each other. Any idea that will separate one from the other will do. And while the people fight each other, are ready to harm each other, the thieves are looting the country blind, don't you wish the Russians had it this easy?

United We Stand
United We Stand? Most Americans are a proud people. But actually I could have used any nation and any flag to represent the title statement, short and sweet. But in reality it is a meaningless phrase, it does not represent the reality of humanity. Americans, as most people of the world, anywhere in the world are deeply divided lot, factionalism reigns supreme. Our leaders laud the unity of the country when in reality they can barely talk to each other, can not get along and holding back the country fro the true progress needed to advance the country. We are torn along the political lines, policy lines, social lines, and yes I will say it, along the religious and ethnic lines. Our so called leaders might as well be Nigerians or Ukrainians, they are using these divides only to promote and project their own political power and agendas to the real detriment of the country at large.

@neiltyson: Our Common Sense is not derived from what's true in Nature but from what our senses perceive to be true in Nature.
Serendipity or dumb luck, many times when I write or talk about some things, I have no problem to find supporting and contemporary examples.
As it was with this local strike. Governor Bentley came here, ten miles down the road to talk about " high paying jobs", ironically or just stupidly he did not come by to support the strike, so much for good paying jobs. My story continues after you please read the warning below, it is important. Just so you know what I am about to say may in fact not be true.
You may call me a hypocrite, I have already admitted that I am, you know me as a conservative, as a gun toting, constitution quoting anti big government type, you know me. But then I had my reasons, as a human, to support the strike and the workers rights, and that makes me a communist.
Bentley reminded me of an experience, once, it may also apply to those in strike as people, like myself, that grew up in sixties or seventies. Read Warning!
Bentley talked about high paying jobs, Bentley is a moral and upstanding person, Bentley is conservative too, like me.
Back many years ago I got a date late one night, we went to my place, she told me she was married, she did not want the lights on, next morning she had to leave early before her husband was up so she could be ready for the service.
We may go on strike for higher pay or better benefits, we may may tell lies about high paying jobs that we are creating,
Somethings never change.

Does one have to be thinking to be a hypocrite? I think it is automatic, we tend to do it so naturally that we don't even notice ourselves. I am a smoker, I have heard some horror stories about the behaviors of ex-smokers, worse than a bad mother in law they say. ( not being sexist, thank you for noticing.
We have people with great health care plans begrudging those that don't have one. Those opposing the affordable care act are the ones that scare us about death panels, but without insurance you don't even get a death panel, you just get death.
I have heard that the government can't make you buy services, yet we buy car insurance if we wish to drive shouldn't we also buy healthcare if we want to live?
Then if one gets sick the government makes the doctors and hospitals treat us, why can't the government just make the builders just build us a new home if ours gets destroyed. Don't you think that forcing the doctors and hospitals treating the uninsured is communism of the worst kind ?

It is not just that our leaders, our politicians, bankers and industrialists can not recall the political and financial policy failures of the past, it seems that at all levels of humanity the standard practice is, to get out of hole, dig deeper.
How can we blame these, they are from among us, like us, may be bit more money or connections, but still. If they borrow money to reduce the deficit then who among us does not do the same in their home.
BTW why does John Boehnor always has that look of a third wife that did not have a turn last night, I know what I am talking about.
We should have a "jackass" or "Ridiculous" show for politicians too.
Oh well, I was talking of people in general, just like our politicians we make bad alliances too. Look at Iraq, Panama and others, we loved them one day and hate them the next, then you know how much a divorce costs these days.

Pardon me for stealing and paraphrasing the old movie title. The comedy about having the ability to have your brain cleansed of off all painful thoughts would obviously be a bliss but who needs that.
In most instances many people cannot only not recall a thing about their past let alone, it would appear, learn from it.
Evolutionists and creationist will both agree that human memory had a lot to do with the human advancement. But here, at the start of the 21st century, there is ample evidence that we have lost the capacity to remember, there are strong indications that we are regressing.
I will be back soon, please come back and follow my line, it may just only entertain you, I will make sure of that. Do not be shy, comment and share.
