Greetings good citizen, much of what I complain about isn't 'news' to the people that are paying attention and those that aren't (or don't care because everything is just fine inside their personal little 'bubble', thank you!) but even the cognizant regularly lose sight of 'reality' and the situation continues to spiral downward, driven by the fact there truly is 'nothing we can do about it'.
Speaking of Fake News, what do you make of the noises coming out of China in the 'free press'? Does anyone truly believe Democracy is going to take root in both Hong Kong and Taiwan?
Yesterday's parting shot was the truism that nobody gives a shit what you think, something everybody knows and nobody does anything about.
How 'free' are you when you have zero input over how laws are written and even less influence when it comes to interpreting them? [Worse, you are powerless to hold the writer(s) accountable!] You only get one vote and as this illustrates, you'd need 5 to keep the feckless in check!
Your Vote is your 'voice' under Democracy. When the ONLY thing you get to vote for is who will make choices in your name without ever consulting you, what the fuck good is that?
[The Alternative is to vote directly on the laws and do away with legislators and the whole charade of 'popular elections'...but is seems NOBODY (in power) likes this idea...probably because if that ever happened they'd find themselves behind bars/taking the one-way naked nature walk because they couldn't conceal their self-dealings.
You may as well not exist...you'd be better off taking the law into your own hands. Which would work out better for most of us until some lunatic went on a rampage and started killing everyone that looked at s/he sideways.
It only takes one.
Most of you don't think about it and others never noticed but some of you have wondered what kind of nightmare it would be having to vote on every stupid proposal that someone thought needed to become law.
What you ARE asked to vote on is 'chicken shit'. Should pot be legal? What are they even asking for, the states voted to legalize but the Feds refuse to seal the deal so users end up dancing between the cracks so they don't get busted for 'possession with intent to sell' (a true crime to our patriotic, red blooded capitalist!)
Too much competition crushes the market. People growing their own is Communism! [But them fuckers need dictionaries for Christmas, not Bibles.]
But I digress, the fact of the matter is we wouldn't be rushing to the polls every night because some moron decided there ought to be a law against whatever is keeping them awake at night...like overpopulation, which is driving climate change...why aren't these two nightmares being addressed together? [Because neither is being addressed AT ALL!]
Today's legislators have their hands full insuring trans gendered youths are being treated 'fairly'.
When they aren't condemning homelessness (while literally doing NOTHING about it) they spend most of their time lobbying for projects in their district or raising re-election funds from special interest groups.
So the answer is NO, you WOULDN'T be running to the polls every night after supper.
It's nice to think they might ask us if we'd support a counterstrike if the Nation of Islam nuked New York City...the home of the Great Satan [who just happens to have a Wall Street address...]
All that sort of shit would end when we implemented a Global government that NOBODY controls. The power would rest in the hands of the public by their direct control over the ENTIRE justice system.
We can no longer afford to let 'the wimps' govern. They are both petty and tyrannical. If you refuse to stand up for yourself you can't expect someone else to do it for you.
Trouble with the 'wimps' is they use their lawyers to produce outcomes that would otherwise get them murdered if they couldn't hide behind the courts. The re-introduction of dueling would end all that.
Safety for spineless criminals means no justice for anyone else.
The laws MUST treat everyone equally or they are useless.
But YOU don't have a 'VOICE' when the only thing you can vote for is some weasel who is more worried what his major campaign contributor wants than what is best for mankind.
End the bullshit popularity contest NOW!
Can't make you do it, I can only make you wish you had...
Until next time, Head.

ReplyDeleteHow many of you give the Founders a pass because it had never been done before? Well, it's been 240 years, why hasn't it been fixed?
Maybe it's not broken, eh?
