Greetings good citizen, Happy 2017! As we [some of us anyway, most people don't buy in to the self-improvement hokum of our parents...(but that doesn't stop the media from pedaling it.) discard our old calendars and replace them with new ones the new year holds out a 'fresh slate'. What's missing from this picture?
You're on your own!
Notice, no matter which way you turn, the 'emphasis' is on YOU? The 'self-improvement' bandwagon is focused on every one of your 'shortcomings' [both real and imagined.]
Because when push comes to shove, YOU are ON YOUR OWN!
The media keeps reinforcing the meme that you live in a nation divided, so divided in fact that everybody has their own 'issues' that they believe are critical to their well-being.
From global warming to a severe lack of chocolate frosting and everything in between.
If we're all in this together, how can this be happening?
Short answer, it isn't. Same as it ever was, the media is paid to say what those cutting their paychecks want them to say so it's all just so much noise THAT EXISTS TO CONFUSE YOU!
Like many things in the public square, ever wonder why the political divide, so widely cited in the media, is accompanied by so few 'specifics'?
Because the 'differences' don't stand up to scrutiny.
Worse, they don't want you thinking about what these artificial differences means relative to our political system.
Deeper than this is the question that has no satisfactory answer...if we're all in this together, why do we even need 'opposing political ideologies?'
Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?
Survey says...WE DON'T!
Idiot Democrats and moron Republicans are really just hoodwinked 'stupid people' tricked in believing others have a right to exploit us mostly because the 'imaginary books' need to be balanced!
[For the thousandth time, MOTHER NATURE DOESN'T HAVE A CASH REGISTER! The 'books' need NO balancing! yet this 'premise' forms the basis of the 'political divide'.]
Because the real/genuine 'political divide' lies between the One percent, their lackeys and the rest of us. [Their 'lackeys' are best defined as anyone wearing a robe or a badge or adds Esquire after their name...]
Ironically, most of those who wear badges are unaware of their 'lackey' status although they do realize something isn't quite right...not so much with 'what they do' but how they do it.
Especially the bust this guy and not that guy part...
Why is it those who 'ride herd' over us keep repeating 'thinking is above our pay grade' or, more succinctly, "I don't pay YOU to think" ?
Ironically the people they 'report to' tell them the same thing...which leaves us where? a Civilization where nobody thinks!
How 'Happy' are you now?
I may not be Madge but you're still SOAKING IN IT! [My older peers will catch the Madge reference...if they aren't too far gone into Alzheimer's land.]
That, perhaps, is the second part of the problem. Humanity is getting dumber, because, as I pointed out in my last post, to an idiot, a moron is a genius!
Put the Moron on TV and suddenly they become a GOD!
Don't have to be 'true', just has to be provided with the a national forum, then given wide exposure...and viola, instant political divide!
This is how newspapers got people focused on 'the national debt' and our children's future.
How stupid can people get.
Come January 20th we're going to see it up close and real personal. {I mean all of us, I wouldn't attend the inaugural if I was provided with an armed escort and a gilded invitation.
Not my president is the wrong meme, NOT MY PEOPLE is closer to the mark...because they're not YOUR PEOPLE either!
Again I'd like to remind you it is not my purpose to TELL YOU WHAT TO THINK, I've made it my 'job' to provide you with something to THINK ABOUT!
Thank you for letting ME inside YOUR (more or less...some of you a lot less) head,
