~~~~~Janitors & Custodians~~~~~



Human Beings. Homo Sapiens. As our overidentifiction with our time bound egos fragments.......our consciousness, our lives, and our planet.......we miss all the life and intelligence that surrounds us. We think too highly of ourselves. We think that we are the culmination of all species. God's masterpiece. But are we really?

There are 14 or so spacetime galaxies in Earth's proximity.......all destined to come together....as one.....and.....our Milky Way galaxy and Andromeda are among them......and as they do 'this dance'.....the surfaces of the habitable planets within their star systems are regularly bombarded with the violence of meteors and radiation.......'clearing their surfaces' for the evolution of new species. This is 'the dance' the known universe does. Everything comes and goes.

Mankind has violently done what it usually takes astronomical events to do....clear the surface of a planet and prepare it for new species to evolve.....the effects of our 'industry' lead 100 species a day into extinction. Death. The universe has created in Mankind the '1st species' to do it's 'dirty work' for it....for in the past.....only supervolcanos and pole shifts.....geological events.....'cleared the deck'....'shook the etch-o-sketch'.......and.....'set the stage'......for the arrival of many new species....a new 'epoch' in the Earth's 'continual drama'.

We are just 'in house' janitors and custodians.....'clear-cutting' the surface of our planet....for the 'next crop' of species. Our time bound egos' blinding us' to the fact that the universe does not hold us 'any more dearly' than it did the dinosaur.....we are the cause of the 6th great extinction of species....on this planet. Mankind is just a 'hired hand'.........a 'temporary species'.....and a 'janitor' of sorts. We are really not a very good 'custodian'............at all.

And the dance goes on......

21st Century American Class Warfare



   The Gipper was an anti-FDR of sorts~~~a traitor to his own class~~~and when he dissolved the Air Traffic Controller's Union and fired them all~~~Michael Moore may be right~~~that was the beginning of this class warfare we see these days~~~and~~~the pilots and baggage handlers and all the co-workers and colleagues of the terminated employees~~~should have seen what's coming and gone on strike~~~right then and there. That didn't happen~~~but~~~let's face it~~~corporations have no values regarding social responsibilities~~~and~~~their disregard for the impact that their actions have~~~as to the destruction of the environment~~~reveals how little they really care about anything~~~other than~~~extracting more of whatever they want out of what is and into their pockets. The Corporate Mantra~~~is only one word~~~MORE. And now the modern day christian pharisees have Reinvented Jesus into some kind of political animal and mixed him up with a bunch of psychopathic businessmen and politicians~~~all in a power grab to take back~~~what~~~The New Deal~~~established. Damn~~~the rich are~~~never satisfied~~~they seem to want it all~~~and not one of them did any jailtime for fincially trashing the american economy.
   So what's to do? I say that The Representative Democracy that this country is~~~take back the power it once gave to corporations. YEAH~~~take it back and neuter those son of a bitches~~~like cutting the balls off  an aggressive and violent animal. Oh~~~they'll cry~~~we're leaving The United States of America~~~for friendlier foreign shores. Let them go~~~see how they like it~~~and~~~we as a democracy can fill the vacuum that they leave with private enterprise that is socially conscious~~~and green~~~that~~~provides jobs to support the life within our communities~~~and~~~values all that is~~~what we all share~~~and~~~is a part of~~~this life we live together.
   Corporate America screwed with the middle class's largest investment~~~their homes~~~and made money playing with people's investments and retirements and lives~~~damn if they don't even play the fuel price futures game on us time and time again~~~I guess they think it's fun. Corporate America values~~~itself~~~more highly when it drops many of it's workers from it's bottom line~~~they really don't care about all the people that they touch~~~when they're not needed they're just excess capicity~~~deadwood~~~and only the people that are a part of their lifeblood~~~their cash flow~~~THEIR MONEY~~~count in their equations~~~of and on~~~life. Corporate America doesn't give a shit about our communities~~~about Mother Nature~~~and~~~the environment~~~in which we all live and move and have our being~~~they only care about their own.
 And so it began in Wisconsin~~~and what Spiro Agnew called The Silent Majority~~~are silent no more~~~but~~~where will it all end? With~~~Plato's Society~~~wise and financially divested men~~~required to be a substantial representative part~~~of every~~~Board of Directors? I don't think these Rabid Dogs of Capitalism will so easily be muzzled~~~and it's gonna take an army of lawyers~~~to cut their balls off~~~in the courts. America is gonna have to sue these bastards into submission~~~environmental damage will bankrupt them all. So~~~let them put their tails between their legs~~~and take their personally degrading system of values~~~and head on off to somewhere in~~~The 3rd World~~~because their toxic value systems~~~won't hold up~~~anywhere. Societies that have~~~no intrinsic values~~~are only impermanent castles~~~built within and made of ~~~the sands of time. They have no foundation in reality upon which to stand
   The Corporate Oligarchy~~~will try to dumb us down~~~and~~~rally their minions~~~and~~~lay the big guilt trip~~~on all of us. Hey Corporate America~~~lighten up~~~your ball sack will heal~~~and you'll be better off for it~~~dontchaknow?~~~the division of power and transparency of all actions~~~are both~~~The American Way
    So let's turn THE LAWYERS loose on them~~~for their articles of incorporation~~~as they now stand~~~are~~~untenable~~~and~~~we simply can not afford to live~~~like this. Real Estate~~~overvalued and overbuilt. Financial Mismanagement~~~wtf derivatives and crazy assed futures. Union busting. Media control. Commercial propaganda. Dumbing down the host society~~~and all manner of manipulation.
   Wake Up America~~~there are so many more of us~~than~~~them. The Gipper sold you on~~~It's Morning In America~~~but~~~Dylan says~~~it's getting dark~~~almost too dark~~to see. 
   Let's Sue The Bastards.

Is The American Dream Only A Castle In The Sand?




"The present civilization is based on greed and individual competition; it can not last forever because it has no intrinsic value. The individual, who has created and is dominated by this civilization, is caught up in accumulation, which is his sole incentive; that is, the individual tries to express his ambition and attain his desired social position through the accumulation of wealth and power. He has therefore set up social distinctions and such a civilization, based on ruthless selfishness, must eventually break down. It is merely a matter of time. As long as you have this conception of individuality, which is but selfishness and greed, no civilization, no structure built on it can last, nor can it free the mind from sorrow."
Jiddu Krishnamurti, Early Writings, Volume 7, Radio Talks, USA and Canada 1932
"Las Vegas is the savage heart of the American Dream." Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
