WTF?

Funny how spending time on your back in a hospital gives you time to think. When you have someone planning every detail of your daily needs, bring food when it's mealtime, bring morphine when you have a pain in your ass that you cant get rid of. You can kind of let your mind wander, and it can go to some pretty interesting places. After watching CNN one night, i began to really worry about where our country is going. Not just the blatant mismanagement of our government, but where is the Heart of our country? I'll admit, i'm an old fart; I was born under the Truman administration, when the nation needed strong leadership. We had it, and we had a feeling of unity in the country that has waxed and waned. I can no longer offer a ride to a stranger, not only because of the danger to myself, but the law says i cant. Remember hitchhiking? A thing of the past. Every day you hear some new bullshit about "illeagal aliens". There are several viable solutions that I can see, so why do the politicians have to make a stage production out of it? Are we a nation of heartless, self centered nazis who subscribe to the 'round em all up an deport em' school of thought, or a pacifist that just says 'fuck it,ya cant win anyway'? I think we're somewhere in the middle but it doesnt show in our government because we elect officials who change the rules in the middle of the game, either to monetary benefit, and no longer represent the real attitudes and values of their so called constituents. What happened to the fire and dedication to change for the betterment of the people and not just the government? The leaders of youth culture and foward thinking are all now memories. Tom Hayden tried to change the system from the inside and was promply taught that age old lesson that they wont let you change it, because they want it that way and if you dont agree, you wont get far. Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, YIPPIEs, stifled by and for the benefit of the beaurocracy, not democracy. SDS. I always liked the idea of this group being labeled a subversive organization. Students for Democratic Society; god save us from democratic society, now thats just unAmerican. ( oh, sorry, we cant say god anymore. so all of you who are against god in our government are invited to send me all of their money that has the word god on it). What we need are some good strong leaders to carry on the revolution that began back in the thirties. No, contrary to popular belief, the revolution began with unions, and guys like woody guthrie, pete seeger, and jimmy hoffa. Nobodys singing protest songs in the street anymore. Where do we go from here? We dont need to make the same mistakes that were made in the sixties. We dont need violence in the sreets, what we need is common sense. There has to come a time when ya say enuff is enuff. Make yourselves heard above the voice of 'government of the people,by the government, and for the government'. I dont know about you,but i kinda think it would make better sense to spend money rebuilding New Orleans, rather than spend it blowing up iraq. Is it possible that we have learned nothing from our past? Perhaps we should have a private showing of the old movie "The Money Pit" at a session of congress. They might see the folly of voting legislation, and not voting on a budget to implement it. I support no candidate for the upcomming election, (read that erection people, cuz were about ta get screwed again) because they dont represent my beliefs. Its all about how it looks, and not how it is. sound bites, photo ops, all choreographed by the people who couldnt dance in high school. Too much money being made by too many specific interests to be good for the people. If you have any questions, or would be interested in hearing me rant further, please feel free to contact me.
