Are they playing “let’s pretend” again? Like let’s pretend Multi-nationals are patriotic.
Patriotism, your choices are: A. Under God, B. America the Beautiful, C. Family Values or D. Bombs Bursting in Air. Let’s pretend this is a multiple choice question.
It has become “self-evident” that “pretending” is the national past time. There’s no better way to do it then at a tea party.
The English have been “pretending” at tea parties for hundreds of years. The original issue with England was how much would the colonies pay to “pretend” at tea parties.
The answer is, just about anything and everything, and like the British Empire, who cares if we have a right to the resources or not.
I’ll show you mine, you show me yours, passport, papers etc. Show me you are the United States of America as originally created and I may join the Daughters of the American Revolution. Otherwise, don’t tread on me or the Hispanics and others who may have gotten to these shores before my family, or since.
The reality, there is no Mayflower. No passage to a free and bountiful land. Multi-nationals own the planet, they think. “Americans” leaving, ”illegal(s)” coming is just running circles around our small globe.
We can pretend, as in blind man’s bluff, that government is offering us something.
Personally, Chief Seattle is my favorite leader. He offered us everything. The earth is our home, we didn’t make it, it made us. We endanger us.
The “Tea Party” message to multinationals, “How may I serve?” We called these people Tories once.
The multinationals are such considerate rulers too. In this desert state they only want our water. They don’t even want to pollute our air with unregulated industry. Instead they do business south of the border. That pollution floats upsteam above the Rio Grande. Thanks.
Thank you for paying Mexicans so well they don’t even want to come here looking for work. New Mexico is a job highway, not a work place.
The “real” jobs are with our multinational food industry. It’s illegal to come here without papers to look for work. However if you are willing to torture and chemically feed animals and plants to “enhance” the food of the world there are jobs available. We don’t send multinational food company CEO’s to jail.
Our state of welfare? Send the poor to jail for food, housing and health care. Leave the CEO’s available to support our economy. Blessings.
Of course we have to play the Western Civilization game, explained by Freud in Totem and Taboo. Let’s “take out” our Source so we are the Source. So the Universe, that we can get our hands on, and Mother Earth, (we know we can rape her) are in big trouble. This is not very advanced from tribal eating of Daddy’s heart.
It’s not just the Tea Party that wants to serve. At multi-national “tea parties”, the Republicans and Democrats are fighting over who gets to bring in cake and cookies.
President Obama just gave multi-nationals outer space, that’s a good upside down cake. We can’t handle what they do 3,000 feet below New Mexico, what they do 5,000 feet below the sea. Now we have to ask for a ride to see what they’re doing in space. Be assured, Multi-nationals can afford “star wars”.
Let’s focus on BP Oil or to put it another way, 80 percent of the fuel we use to keep “Bombs Bursting in Air”. You can watch the destruction of the large, absolutely beautiful, absolutely nurturing Gulf of Mexico, or the summer TV line up of psychopathic horrors.
Not all sociopaths cut up beautiful young women. Some make business, politics, or geology their major. So many channels to choose from. This country, “for the good of the people”, does not value socialists. Sociopaths, they catch our attention, very entertaining.
In the movie, “Precious”, a black teen from the ghetto is sexually, physically and emotionally abused. Most might accept that does happen. When she starts to leave the abusive situation (and that’s not easy), she finds social and peer support.
Daddy is KKK and you are pregnant by the families’ homophobic minister, being written off as “hysterical” (as Freud put it) might not keep you alive. Your dad’s a cop and “loves” the family black and blue. Your parents are “wasps” and you DO identify with “Precious”. Not tea party conversation.
Vote Chief Seattle or pretend real estate values.
Have a tea party, “just pretend”.
Save gallon cartons, paint them red to celebrate the water New Mexico “thinks” it owns and can “afford” to sell. We already have an island of plastic in the Pacific the size of Texas.
Focus on this good earth, this wonderful universe, survive.
