The voters have had their brains scrambled by Tee Vee for years. You have to entertain them to get whatever attention they are capable of paying. So we have evolved into government as theater and very bad theater at that. While the needs of the people keep being ignored we get to witness these clown shows with poorly trained clowns.
Think about the time, effort and resources it took to squeak out one week of funding for "Homeland Security"! Think about the willingness to go to war in Iraq in contrast. There is not even a question of perspective here. It is insanity pure and simple.
In a week we will have another installment in the very bad drama. Read on below if this makes you as sick as it does me.
I can't really accept that this is what we have degenerated to. Yet it has happened again. The world is a very strange place to me these days. We are allowing tipping point after tipping point to be passed while those who are our government of, for and by the people produce this ugly stuff.
Tell me the people deserve better and then explain why they put these clowns in office. I have all sorts of ideas about the depth of the sickness in this country. It started at the beginning and has been evolving all along. They came and took the place with genocidal fervor got slaves and then immigrant wage slaves and built an oligarchy of massive potency. The oligarchs have kept the people in their place using hate and divide and conquer and have perfected their skills.
Meanwhile the people have elections and vote and pretend they are self-governing. Is it that I am missing something or is this all just one insane mess? People will comment, as they always do, about how we built this big middle class and yada yada. Go ahead, say it all again.
I have lived and worked in many countries and I look at countries like Denmark and others and wonder what is it that has ever been that great about this country? How can an entire nation that is built on genocide and slavery and has had to conquer a large part of itself be great? How can a corrupt system of government that wins its right to exist by buying people off be great?
The irony is that as we watch this sick theater posing as government the planet and life on it are being destroyed. We care more about whether our party plays a better game than the other guys. This is insanity folks. It is not the behavior of the rational beings we claim to be. We are very sick and tonight just demonstrated that one more time. You really do not need a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing.
