"Time , time ,time ... What has become of me ?" (Paul Simon's "Hazy Shade of Winter")
This blog was spared the rhetoric of the election .Today , as it is over, I can be glad I don't have to review it all too much. I did write this note on election after going to the polls . I can't remember an uglier election. The negative ads permeated the airwaves with the support of the "Super Pacs" . I don't know if this is the election they paid for or not.
I goose stepped in and voted like the rest of you Nazis in the longest voting line of lifetime and the worst election, and to add to it ,a masquerade ,a fraud filled with sound bites that mean nothing while democracy fades.I handed my drivers license and they refused it opting to hear me yell my info at them as if they were hard of hearing or just your run of the mill "Ferners" to the "Claghill family"as I came down from the mountains to deal with the city slickers. I commented ,"So it is illegal for you to read my license."I hadn't gone there to have a jive conversation with bureaucrats , I hate this bullshit. This might be the last election for me with either outcome."Common Sense" has become one of those dinosaurs that used to exist...Wait a minute did this country ever have any "Common Sense". If there are any questions just play a flag waver.The power of this country is that we are stupid enough to push the red button ,turning it over to people we don't trust and who don't represent us once they are elected. "Have one doubt and they call it treason.." (Try To Make it Real Compared to What ?")The Constitutional Convention of "1968" never happened and they are still pretending that this mutant "Corpocracy" works.
The presidency has too much power ,power that has accumulated from Lyndon Johnson on.The presidency has to be taken down a couple of notches .I doubt that he will volunteer to lose power any more than the congressmen will accept term limits.If Obama wants to dance in the middle of the street that is his prerogative but that would probably be a suicidal dance.He isn't stupid but half of this country doesn't agree with the other half, the Republicans don't agree with each other , and the Democrats don't agree with each other.It is even deeper than racism.
Incidentally , about fighting for the right to vote , about the military incursions where people have lost their lives in what has become the unilateral aggressive policies of the US. The wars called Viet Nam ,poverty, drugs , through Afghanistan are not defensive or protecting anything. Certainly not protecting my right to vote ,my freedom, the "American Way", and all that "Superman" flag waving bull that gets a knee jerk from too many people.I would like to be protected from the Prince Georges County Police and I don't even live in Prince Georges County.We have a police state that is beyond the crime of being black.They apply their boots to the neck of the rest of the people as well,that is the other 88% of us.I still maintain that the intrinsic systemic problem is not just coming from totally Republicans or Democrats. "Systemic Corruption" is universally abusing all American's civil rights and has ruined this American illusion of Democracy.
