One Nation's Hypocrisy

So, today's May 1st, the day of the big immigration rally. Hopefully, it works out well. Although, I can't see how. Our politicians today live by a double standard. It is as follows:

Make it appear like we are helping others when in fact we ourselves are reaping the profits. Help free other people from the oppression of dictators and promote democracy, but don't let them come here in search of it.

When will this country learn to accept others? When will we decide to end the bigotry?

This isn't a matter of national security. It's a matter of security for the rich sons of bitches that control this nation. They fear losing power and those who could take it from them. They are content to leave this nation believing that they have been privileged, that we're better off, that we have something to lose if we rock the boat. Well they're right, we do have something to lose. THEM.

So show your support for our immigrant workers, for without them we haven't a chance to rip this nation from the clutches of multinational corporations and return the seed of democracy to our own lives.

My Last

 My previous post was found as a blank page in draft form this evening.  I found the existence of it to be rather poetic.  So I published it blank as is over a year later.  Seems fitting to be honest.

Reagan, Deregulation, and the Fruit It Now Bears

President Reagan had an idea about how the world should run. He deregulated Big Business. That is, he removed the restrictions put in place that kept companies from cheating.

To him, these concepts flew in the face of that illusive, figmentary idea we like to call freedom. He wanted Big Business to have the freedom to do what it will and believed that in doing so, said companies would check themselves. They would check themselves because it was in their best economic interest to do so. Yet, what he didn't realize is that what was in the best interest of Corporate America could be unknown to Corporate America itself! That Big Business could be akin to a compulsive gambler who as they fall further and further into the hole panic and begin making riskier and riskier bets, thus then subjecting themselves to even more debt ...

36

Navigating life into your mid and eventually, ugh, late 30's is much different than your mid/late 20's.  Artificial time limits that we impose on ourselves for many of life's milestones seem increasingly close and their goals seem increasingly distant as the years tick forward.  It is important however to remember that these milestones are not actually set in stone.  They take work.  Sometimes a lot of work.  And they don't have an actual timeline. In my 20's I believed by 36 I would be married to a good man.  Have a family.  A career.  A home.  And that things would be, in all, pretty decent.  All the hard work of my early 20's would pay off and all of these milestones would be reached.  But of course, we're all a little naive about these things.  We have emotional responses to them which sometimes cloud logic. Three years back, I was in a relationship.  I had a good paying job.  And, as should come as a surprise to ...
