Greetings good citizen, often we lose sight of the big picture when we focus on the million little things that should 'never be'.
Well, what was the message President Kennedy was trying to convey all those many years ago?
'Ask not' has it precisely BACKWARDS!
You should, first and foremost, DEMAND that the nation YOU CALL HOME IS A PLACE WORTH LIVING IN!
For millions of us 'Home' is A.) some relatives house B.) an abandoned building or C.) a shelter they throw you out of every morning hoping against hope YOU DON'T COME BACK!
The speech SHOULD HAVE GONE Ask not what YOU can DO for your country, ASK WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU!
Well, good citizen, the only ones who routinely ask that question happen to be the One Percent.
The 'legal system' in this country upholds the right of the privileged to sell YOU what already belongs to you and it also enforces their 'right' to pay you less than you need to live [in the name of 'profitability'.]
Is a country only 'great' if it allows you to put other people's nuts in a vise? Because that's the bottom line of today's interpretation of the 'Ask Not' speech.
What CAN you 'do for your country?'
J.F.K. was asking our youth to die for their country [to stop the 'spread of communism'. Funny how that worked out, isn't it? Who is out there trying to put the brakes on unbridled, predatory Capitalism around the globe? Sure ain't OUR politicians!]
Isn't THAT what YOUR COUNTRY SHOULD BE 'DOING FOR YOU?' [Instead of holding you down while the capitalists take turns raping you?]
WHAT GOOD is a nation that can't provide you with a job that allows you to live with dignity and set aside some money to enjoy on personal luxuries?
WHAT GOOD IS IT?
It's no good to YOU [and definitely no good to those you love!]
So what good is a country with 'nothing to offer'?
Because the snappy response of the unthinking few is 'if you don't like it here, LEAVE!'
However they are dumbfounded if you ask them to explain their bizarre demand.
Let us enumerate the 'blessings' of being a 'blind, loving citizen' bestows upon us, shall we?
Is it our national 'pride & joy, our 'freedom to vote' [for who will make decisions in our name without EVER consulting us?]
Look at the 'choice' we're being, er, 'invited' to make in two short weeks good citizen and then ask yourself if it gets any better than this?
How about our 'freedom' to pay and pay [usually everything we've got] for a roof over our heads and food in our stomachs? [Let's not forget the wheels under our backside, without those you can't get to the job that doesn't pay you enough to live on!]
Did I miss anything?
Oh yeah, our 'freedom to worship as we choose'!
A real biggie because there are still places on the planet where if you don't observe the 'official religion' you are invited to a stoning...yours!
So there's that!
Oh, and one last one...HERE we get to COMPLAIN! That one is HUGE [despite all of the 'nervous nellies' calling you names so the ones we're complaning about don't think they're 'complainers' too. [Welcome to the land of the chickenshit!]
I saved the best of last, we have the absolute freedom to FEAR.
Yup, we live in a nation that lives in perpetual fear of pretty much everything.
[Example: I'm watching Fox's Science channel...(two terms that definitely don't go together but what are you going to do in an 'anything goes' society like ours?) and they were shitting their pants over the possibility of an 'alien invasion'! Like we don't have enough on our plate already!]
I'm not going to make a list of the DOWNSIDE of living under a predatory economic system because you know what that's like all too well.
So, returning to the 'theme at hand', don't you think its time we started asking the RIGHT QUESTIONS?
WHAT CAN OUR COUNTRY DO FOR US?
Should be a lot more than the two crappy choices we're getting on November 9th!
Ask NOT what your country can do for YOU?
Isn't it time we ask Why?
Isn't that what the occupy movement tried to do? [Trillions in student debt and for what? A nation that can't provide our children with a future...it's not worth it!
Consider THAT while you're pondering how much longer you're even going to have the 'right to vote!'
Should scare the pants off you that the dirty rotten pricks are building robots and drones...
Not a pretty picture good citizen but somebody's gotta keep their eye on the ball!
Anyway, thanks for lending me your mind for a few, hopefully we'll both 'profit from the experience!'
