i ask myself in you - what are people of the future going to say about us today

well needless to say you seemed to have nailed not only the mind set but the mindless set that goes along to get along - you made some impressive observations and i think anybody with a brain would have to think twice no matter what side of the fence or aisle the think they are on - but then again mark twain said it best to miss quote him -  if i was a fool and a politician - oh there i go repeating myself again - politician believe in their own propaganda - and we the people are the ones who are also wearing the emperor’s new clothes too - because we believe in their propaganda - the problem is we have been going along to get along so long that we have become or more like pretending we are zombies - but we all deep inside know better that some is not right - today political asylum is an insane asylum -

we live in an idiotcracy and what brilliant stroke of genius picked this woman out of the rat pack of running mates - who could imagine this woman, this absurdity being a heart beat away from the president in what use to be the dream of people around the world and what use to be the guiding light experiment of freedom loving people and country in the planet -

she might win the miss America-ah pageant but as you say she ain’t one who can think aloud with out a script and short snippets of cliches - and her working man’s joe six pack charm only goes so far but then again george w won over gore because he had charm - so maybe we are missing something -

and her interviews as you mentioned are like putting her in a padded cell a corral of trainers (handlers) who are the same ones who trained our fearless el presidente to answer questions from those who know she already knows the answers too -

in any case we are in trouble as a country and as a planet and we keep repeating the same mistakes the same wars the same violence the same fears since before forever and each time it gets more expensive - we need to re-invent oursleves and we keep on this revolving door of top down management by fear - what are people of the future going to say about us today

 don’t you just love it - i call it the politics of poverty - the poor have to bail out the rich - and the guy who ran one of the largest brooookerages is the guy who wanted 700 billion to play with no strings attached (3 page proposal) to bail out his cronies - the latest sweetened bailout is now 450 pages pure electioneering spin for the public soap opera - these guys in congress and big business and media are poor looooosers who want a bail out or else they will take the rest of us with them on their bumpy road to humpty dumpty meltdown land anyway - and just to refresh your memory these were the very same guys a few years ago who made it hard for the working folks to file for bankruptcy - there is more to this then meets the eye and why is this happening around election time i ask myself in you -  so who res-skews the rescueeeer

on the Politics of Poverty - there is a reason why there is so much poverty - “We the People” who make up this IdiotCracy/DemoCracy/Media-oh-Cracy on the backs of  the poor people the workers, the soldiers, the drones - we are like toilet paper - they use us up and throw us away - look at the people coming back from wars - the poor don’t want to be poor they not lazy they are some of the hardest workers around - they often work themselves to death and when i lived in brasil in 1992 people would work hard and at the end of the day would still not have made enough to feed their families - and with the price of this manufactured chaos of oil, food prices, banking meltdown its the poor around the world who feel it the most - this 700 billion buy out is also on the backs of the poor and the middle class if you haven’t figured out who the tax payers are - but the point is somebody benefits from poverty, war, violence, fear and its not “We the People” - it is said that the trade of kings was in war and propaganda - we have to stop pretending we are zombies and stop going along to get along -  and flap our mouths and wings and say what we know in our hearts - the power of one person is more then the power of none -

Thomas Jefferson knew very well that this was going to happen and wrote and spoke about it even on his death bed - he worried for us the children of the future

” We are to guard against ourselves; not against ourselves as we are, but as we may be; for who can imagine what we may become under circumstances not now imaginable - Thomas Jefferson to Jedidiah Morse 1822 ”

“I will not believe our labors are lost. I shall not die without a hope that light and liberty are on steady advance.” –Thomas Jefferson to John Adams, 1821

“We are bound, you, I, and every one to make common cause e even with error itself, to maintain the common right of freedom of conscience,” Thomas Jefferson to Edward Dowse, 1803

commentary: on Jeff pulver blog “Thoughts when asked: “What do YOU do?”

when people ask me what do i do it seems that lately what falls out of my mouth and mind is that i am a dreamer - i use to tell people i was a recovering artist but they looked at me somewhat strangely and lately i find myself in a state between dreaming and thinking and thinking i am dreaming and dreaming i am thinking and dreaming i am dreaming and thinking i am i think and then again sometimes i find that i am just thinking about the world and things and at other times i find myself dreaming about what a wonderful world it could be and then i wake up to find it was all too real and i go back to dreaming - hmmm row row row your boat life i but a dream
