Greetings good citizen,
I have just perused the media offerings for today and concluded, amazingly, that in a world that is truly falling apart, they have nothing to say!
So for today’s ‘treat’, you can read me, ‘unplugged’.
Let’s start with my humble beginnings, shall we?
No, I’m not going to bore you with my tawdry upbringing because being raised poor has little to do with anything…although I doubt I’d be who I am today had I been born with anything even resembling a ‘silver spoon’ protruding from any orifice!
So yes, it is at least tangentially relevant that I was born poor and remain poor to this day.
Um, contrary to popular belief, I have never set myself on a path to ‘conquer the world’…and, unsurprisingly, might be accused of failing because I didn’t’ set my sights high enough.
But we can’t ALL conquer the world…and maybe that is my fracture because my goal always has been the ‘greatest good’.
Why is it in a world so full of bounty that only a few get to enjoy it?
And the answer comes back (quite quickly I might add:) mismanagement.
The system itself is deeply flawed and remains that way due to deep corruption!
But I preach to the choir, do I not?
Everybody knows.
So why doesn’t ‘somebody’ DO SOMETHING about it?
Have we all been so deeply indoctrinated with ‘go along to get along’ that none of us dare ‘rock the boat’ (even though it is headed over a cliff?)
Although I’d daresay we have already gone over that cliff, rocking the boat now would merely remove the only thing between you and the jagged rocks below.
As thin as that object may be,
And no, it is unlikely you will survive that sudden stop that follows every long fall.
But I digress…(and do so with such frequency that I fear few of you can follow my, er, ‘insights’ to their conclusions.)
Which is to announce that I suspect my son isn’t the only one with ADD.
Meaning he comes by his ‘honestly’.
So let’s return to the beginning (because we’re gonna end up there anyway) and try not to ‘squander the opportunity’ which the slavers among us are prepared to defend with their worthless lives.
Yes good citizen, there are those among us who support slavery so long as it is not they who are the slaves.
They will inflict a fate worse than death upon YOU if their children are spared.
Did I lose you again? Try to keep up, eh?
These ‘true believers’ form a singular barrier to a fair and equitable society. They must be eliminated OR those they follow/obey must be, er, ‘eradicated’ for subsequent generations to be free.
No ‘half measures’ here good citizen, this is not a ‘once and done’ proposition.
Which is to say vigilance is key. We may succeed in sweeping them aside (temporarily) but they will regroup and start over if we provide them with the mechanisms they need to corrupt society.
Their ‘tool of choice’ is (and always will be) ‘hard currency’. Without it, it becomes near impossible to ‘bribe’ others towards your way of thinking.
This is why you are ‘trained’ to demand money you can touch…while money itself remains an ‘idea’.
Fix this and we break the slaver’s back.
The other ‘trump card’ the slaver holds is their control of the workplace. They get to decide who ‘prospers’ and who starves.
A decidedly toxic power to have in a world where survival depends on ‘participation’.
If they don’t let you play, you can’t prosper…legally.
That is the ‘powder keg’ the unemployment situation has become.
Yet the conservatives (those who would enslave you) still preach that it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to make yourself ‘USEFUL’ to the employer.
And soon SOME OF YOU may be able to ‘redeem’ yourselves by being willing to DIE for people who wouldn’t ordinarily spit on the best part of you!
Oh, you’ll be a hero for taking a bullet for them but you can almost hear them shriek ‘idiot’ as you fall to the ground, clutching your vitals!
Um, I find myself apologizing after these solo flights if only because a trip through the landscape that is my mind can be a pretty disturbing experience for those who don’t usually think along those lines.
So, in short…(not that I’m particularly comfortable with the short version of anything) A Simple Plan was designed to facilitate the ‘equality’ we need to move forward as a species.
If we don’t learn to live together, we will not survive to go forth and meet new (and hopefully more intelligent) races across the cosmos.
Thanks for letting me inside your head,
