We are now, in what seems to be, a state of information overload. An avalanche of ‘truth’ about the Bush Administration is falling upon us. There is evidence that the country was in some sort of paralysis from 2001 to 2008. Time stopped with 9-11-2001. When 9-11, occurred all the trusted authorities in this nation, from congress and law, to media, to bankers, to business, to house builders, to inhabitants, stopped functioning in a logical way.
We stopped growing and challenging and remembering history. All we knew was 9-11. 9-11, ushered in the rebirth of a nation. To where did the booming Clinton years disappear, that existed just months before? How could those years give birth to our new psychology? Were we that stunned by the aberration of 9-11? So stunned with fear that we stopped thinking and moving?
Our government fed us a diet of lies. Lies that are falling on our heads to crush us as we try to give it the benefit of the doubt. The benefit that really our leaders then, had our best interest at heart, and were acting in secret out of good faith.
And one really loud mantra of the past administration, was go on with your lives. Go out and spend. Buy stuff. So the builders built and the bankers lent and businesses continued to invest around the world, finding ways to cut costs in cheaper to operate atmospheres outside of the US. They siphoned off US jobs and lowered US pay, and the builders kept building their houses and the bankers kept lending credit to fill in the pay gap of the inhabitants of this nation, and we kept buying stuff. Why did we go out and buy so much stuff to keep us busy? Creating the illusion, and placating ourselves with an idea that, times really are different. We didn’t have to work so hard and long to live the good life. We could have it all right now. We bought this, because they sold it to us.
Buy, is what they told us to do. Buy is what we did. What kind of advice was that from our government? Why would they tell us to do that? Why did congress sit idly by, and let that last government work in secret? Secrets that ultimately broke a nation. Didn’t we have a better education?
Why did this all make sense?
I don’t want to stay mired in the confusion of a government trying to deal with this avalanche of wrong, previously dammed up for seven years, now released on our heads. I don’t want to be fed this diet of uncovered secrets and lies. This whole nation was responsible for letting it happen, because of some sort of psychoses we suffered after 9-11. I’ll take my portion of responsibility as we all should. Everybody can’t go to jail. So I beg that we move forward from this nightmare.
