posted by: lindy (reply) post date: 06.19.07 (9:51 am) Hi, PuC. I've been..well, gosh, I've been gone for a while. I'm glad I took a few minutes to stop in, though what I'm reading is breaking my heart. I had heard some rumblings about the odd situation where families were forced to leave behind their pet because there wasn't room, but I'm stunned to the core by what I'm reading here. Naturally, I'd like to line up all the police officers who are clearly screwed in the head.. just line them up and take shots at them the way they did the beloved family members who were left behind. I'd even work on my aim and make sure I didn't hit any vital arteries.. kind of like they did with some of the animals they killed. Logically, at some point, the intent would be to put them behind bars for the rest of their lives because these people should not be out in society, infecting us with their disgusting lack of ethics, but at the moment, killing them sounds about right. I've been going back and forth with someone about this lack of community that you and I are always yelping about. It finally hit me in somewhat different terms today. In a nutshell, it goes something like this: Our .gov has spent much time, effort, money and resources indoctrinating America to hate socialism and communism. It finally occurred to me that they did this because those are the natural enemies of capitalism. It is our unmittigated embracing of capitalism that has led to this dog-eat-dog, out-for-myself world we live in. It is why we invaded a country without their blessing to save them from a fate we deemed worse than death (take your pick on whether I was referencing Vietnam or Iraq; they are the same fight). Our .gov has enjoyed over the years, something that many of our doctors have had and that is the treatment of being gods, or some permanent, protective and all-knowing entity. We blindly assume that our doctors and .gov will protect us, will always have our best interests at heart. You and I know that not only is this not always the case, it's actually not ever the case. We've had so many wake up calls, PuC. And we're still sleeping. The ruling body and the elite little club that has inherited its power over the generations have all had one thing in common.. they know how to control us. They indoctrinate us, they scare us, they DISTRACT us. It's going to continue as long as there is a tv in every house, a computer in every office and plenty of religion to sell through the almighty bible that only tells the parts of the story that suited the religious leaders of the day. The subtle messages will continue to pulse in like a scent and we'll continue to smell them and be pawns for their using. We like the semblance of solid foundation, of law and order, or being better than everyone else. Semblance, nothing more. |
