I AM ANGRY!

I am angry at the fools who have been in control of virtually all of the Earth's resources for the last two-thousand years.

I am angry because there is a giant, toxic, black spot of oil, spreading its way across the Gulf Of Mexico. I am angry because there is a an island of plastic floating around, somewhere out in the Pacific Ocean. I am angry because the air in our cities is poisonous, and so are our rivers. I am angry because the "humans" continued their foolish practices of polluting the planet, despite repeated warnings by my people about the ice around the poles melting...and they still do.

I am angry at the world's leaders, who can do nothing but strut around like peacocks, bickering over the few remaining scraps of planetary resources while their people perish...they send children off to die in their senseless war games as they fatten themselves with their pillages. I am angry at the clergy, for their failure to act purely and for their greed...they make war in the name of God, and line their pockets with money from the poor and the faithful. I am angry at the wealthy; some for their naivete, and others because they are truly evil. I am angry at the poor; some for their complacency, and others because they are truly stupid.

I am angry because there are homeless people everywhere I look, while at the same time, huge, empty, corporate-owned office-buildings with controlled environments, hum along day and night, with only a lonely janitor or security-guard to occupy them.

I am angry at the professional world...I used to believe that hard work and loyalty would be rewarded, but no longer. I am angry with myself for my continuing participation in this rat race; I know better, and I only fall deeper into debt every day that I do. I am angry because my temporary position pays me less than my unemployment (which didn't give me enough to survive in the first place). I am angry because I have to drive to my assignment alone everyday with 100,000 other people, all jam-packed, bumper to bumper in our cars at 8:00 in the morning.

Most of all, I am angry because there is nothing I can do to change this hopeless situation, and although I know that many people care, there is nothing they can do to change it either. All we can do is run around madly like rats on a sinking ship, somehow instinctively sensing our doom, yet still looking for a way to higher ground...

SENATOR LISA MURKOWSKI IN FAVOR OF OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING

Alaskan Senator, Lisa Murkowski, a ranking member of the Energy & Natural Resources Committee, gave a long speech today at the National Press Club's, Ocean Law and Policy Conference in Washington, DC. Apparently, even In the wake of the Gulf Oil Spill, the Republican Senator is in favor of the development of arctic regions using big oil money, and specifically in favor of continued exploration and exploitation of the oil reserves in the arctic (what a surprise).She even brazenly used the retreat of the ice shelf in support of her argument, claiming it has opened up more potential reserves for the US to tap into, and a need to bolster national security defenses in that region.  I noticed that she cautiously tried to use the word "exploring" instead of  "drilling" when speaking about raping the Earth and selling her blood for a profit. Please, do me a favor and tell Senator Lisa Murkowski just what you think about her little plan to pollute, pillage and exploit our planet! I have provide and easy link to her website, just fill out the contact form and let her have it:

Thank You!

SUPREME COURT THROWS OUT LIMITS ON CORPORATE CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS

The United States Supreme Court shocked the nation yesterday, when it decided to overturn it's own 1907 decision limiting corporate spending in political elections. This decision essentially puts the United States government securely in the pockets of the biggest corporations in  the country! 


It may not be a coincidence that the Court has done this at a time when corporate oversight is more crucial than ever: Health care reform is big in the public's mind and it is no secret that the insurance and drug companies have a lot to lose; Wall Street has been asked to return the money that our "government" gave them just before Bush left office, and they have given most of it away already in executive bonuses; also, it is imperative that we take action globally to prevent the pollution that has led to global warming and could possibly destroy human life on Earth.


With the Supreme Court's latest ruling, any efforts to curb harmful corporate activities can easily be squashed by corporations that feel such efforts will interfere with their profits. Elections will be decided by corporations, who will install whatever politicians best favor their interests.


Democracy in this country is now only a dim memory, if it ever really existed at all...  

Wage Slavery In America (how they did it)

Here is a beautiful little gem I found on the web. This is a classic propaganda cartoon which warns of the dangers of state regulation of private enterprise. It is interesting to look at the statistics cited and compare them to our current situation. Comments anyone?
