Greetings good citizen, forgive me for playing hooky yesterday but by the time I got done with my early job it was too late to compose anything.
The media does itself no favors repeating the meme of how divided we are, truth be told there are a dozen different reasons for that none of them pertinent to the fact we have to SHARE THIS PLANET!
Although one of the wedges driving us apart is 'WHO DESERVES' a SHARE? A factor not real conducive to peace.
But differences aside, the average moron just wants to be left alone to go about his life in peace, raise a family and be surrounded by their loved ones in their declining years.
How much 'division' do you think there is on that simple idea? [Barring the occasional anti-social meathead who wants nothing to do with family or social obligations and believe me, we all know one.] most people find the idea of a 'simple life' attractive.
Key to the simple/quiet life is prosperity and peace. Now class, where do peace and prosperity flow from?
EQUALITY & JUSTICE!
Very good, you're really getting this!
What is the most commonly cited 'divide' in our current civilization [and it's been that way for time out of mind!]
RICH & POOR!
Hey, you guys are GOOD!
Not looking too 'divided' now, are ya? The 'divide' the media keeps talking about is a weirdly 'non-specific' quality that actually boils down to 'splitting hairs'. It seems we all AGREE the country is headed in the 'WRONG DIRECTION' the division part comes over which direction that is, followed closely by WHAT SHOULD WE DO ABOUT IT!
You can start a real pissing contest over which one is better, chocolate or vanilla but almost nobody doesn't like ice cream!
Well, the media telling us [ad nauseum] that we're divided is exactly like that because NOBODY is putting forth concrete solutions to the factors that divide us! So people come up with their own ideas, many not too far removed from what the next guy thought of but the pissing contest is joined when they start insisting their point is the main one!
They ALL have a point. [more than a little of the animosity and hostility is due to the built in tendency to reject what didn't come from you and people just being ornery because they can...and that's 99% of the basis for the media's claim that we're divided.
How helpful is this when the primary message is WE NEED TO SHARE THIS PLANET AND EVERYTHING ON IT?
Understand, the 'divided' meme is being used for a return to a more 'authoritarian style' of, er, 'leadership'...
They [the media] is priming the pump for you to accept a return to monarchy or another from of dictatorship PRECISELY BECAUSE of the inaction this inability to agree is supposedly causing.
NOBODY is even trying to reach a 'generally agreed upon' solution.
DO you see ANYBODY putting forth a solution? [besides me?]
THEY want you to think democracy results in deadlock because that's how they are playing it.
History can be a great teacher if you'd only PAY ATTENTION!
But you've let them jerk your chain your whole life and now that they want to slip a yoke back over your shoulders and YOU are going to stand there and let them do it.
WTF?
Begs the question of whether or not the STUPID deserve our pity when our scorn is what they should get.
Don't let the stupid among us choose for the rest of us!
Thanks once again for letting me inside your head,
Gegner
PS: THEY already 'have us where they want us'. Since we can't 'agree' on what needs doing we can't 'unite' to oppose them when they decide it's time to bow to a new King.
The One Percent will declare themselves the NEW MAJORITY and the rest of us will 'comply or die'.
Se habla Citizen's United? Who else believes the Robert's court should be hung for treason?
