Dreaming While The World Goes Bang!
Posted: 8/11/11
Even at my age one can still dream; do I make more music videos, should I start up a cool little website and follow dirt track racing, or even just wander about, like Cain in Kung Fu, with my DSLR camera in hand snapping images and recording video of Earth's magnificent glory? But I feel that now is not the time for dreams, as there are deep, human sourced rumblings emanating from the pulsing clumps of humanity spread hither and yon across the vastness of this beautiful planet we (Race Human) have been entrusted with.
Something is afoot, and I need to keep my stash intact, with no payouts for frivolous things. We here in America suffer from possibly the most inept, corrupt and pathetic leadership in our history, fighting foolish wars that we cannot even define winning, much less win. In Africa people are starving to death by the hundreds of thousands, riots are tearing Europe apart and the Arabs continue to blaze merrily away at each other and Israel, and there seems to be no end in sight.
China continues to explode in wealth, population and out of control industrial pollution, Japan strives mightily to recover from the devastation wrought by the twin horrors of earthquake and tsunami, Mexico is fighting a horrendous, bloody and internal war for the privilege of feeding the American drug habit, Cuba is but months away from burying Fidel and then that whole island will erupt in God only knows what. South America rumbles a bit from time to time, and I feel that Chavez and his minions will not be long for this world, especially as he reportedly has cancer.
Is this the end times? I'm not talking about the Christian zealots who run about screaming the sky is falling, but is this the natural and normal death throes for a species on the brink of extinction? Have we had our time, and now, like lemmings, do we all march into the sea of our own self-destruction?
Not only are we as a species not making any sense, we're not even trying. In any case the Earth would be a lot better off without us, as we're a noisy bunch and tend to scratch things up a bit, and I'm sure Mother Earth would be grateful for the peace and quiet once we're all gone, or reduced to dull-eyed savages scampering about after a slow rodent for lunch, dressed in not much more than a hairy chest (girls and boys!).
But in the meantime, what in hell am I supposed to do about these dreams?
My Point Being:
-----------
For an indicator of how much respect the American people receive from their government, news outlets and entertainment media just watch fifteen minutes of American TV and all those dirty little suspicions will be confirmed.
