Sissies

Every newspaper in the country has articles about the abuse of ethics by our elected officials. Every newspaper in the country has stories about the criminal doings of Republicans. Every newspaper has articles about Democrats winning whatever elections are coming our way, as if a Democratic White House, and Democratic Congress will save us from the crunching jaws of the ‘Richest 1%’. Don’t hold your breath...

The Richest 1% are also Democrats, more than likely Libertarians, Independents. Whatever. It is not that one party or the other will step to the fore to save the rest of us on this Titanic of a ship of state where 99% of us are locked in steerage while the first class 1% are stepping into life boats.

We need a total overhaul of values. We need to re-acquaint ourselves, from top to bottom of the economic scale, with what’s right and what’s wrong. It is not sufficient to spout so-called ‘Christianity’ out one side of your mouth while scheming to rob the poor of even more rights and benefits with the other. The earth is running out of resources, and the economic top 1% are consuming these resources at a hugely larger proportion than the poorest 99%.

There is probably no help for that...this ol’ Blue Marble hanging in endless space is about to run out of the things we need to sustain life: air, water, food: you know, things, which by their absence define places like The Moon, Mars, Saturn, Pluto—you know, BARREN PLANETS. And with the rate of consumption of the 1%, and the seeming desire of that 1% to destroy the other 99% of us, we are in a fight for our very existence and the existence—the LIFE in our children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Money will not protect you from a lack of air. Money will not protect you from a lack of water. Money will not protect you from a lack of food, and truth be told, I see the top 1% as fat cattle, dulled and stupid enough to eat when things go bad on this planet. And I see the remains of the 99%, crazed by hunger and fear hunting the sissy 1%-ers. The masses will always prevail.

China is seeking to do business with our closest neighbors: here come the masses. Ever read John Hershey’s book “White Lotus”? There is no way America can stand against an invasion of our borders by the Chinese, and the hope is that China will always seek to control the masses by reducing the privileged classes to field hands.

So. Let the sissies have their dreams. Let the comprador peasants have their dreams of being members of that almighty 1%. Me and mine will bide our time and feel the honest justification and relief when that silly 1% gets their comeuppance. We all know how to work. We all know how to knuckle-under to authority. We all know that money is no protection from reality. We aren’t sissies.
