Now we all know that it would be rude to question the validity of the direction we are all being herded now regarding violent talk. Forget the fact that since the Tragedy in Tucson, there have been many murders. Not with as public a figure. Not with as many people, but "small" tragedies nonetheless. These have no coverage.
Why do we have to refrain from being angry at our congresspersons when they damage our life and country? i think there is almost an inherent obligation to let them know that they are stepping out the wrong direction. They don't change when i write them a letter or email. What can i do to get their attention? It would be great to be on a talk radio show and have this different twist on the political situation. It would be great to be on TV and get the public exposed to a view point which is different from the standard pablum.
Right now the pablum line is that our leaders deserve more protection than we do. Our legislators need to be more safe than you or i. We, the little people, should not get angry at our legislators when they do things that damage our lives. Why shouldn't we? i really don't understand why not. i have no intention of going to a meeting with them and beating the cra_ out of them. That would be too much work. (loads of cra_ in a politico) Do they really expect us to just let them run over us and our dreams? Our country? Our lives. We are continuously herded into smaller and smaller circles. We continually have more rules, regulations, and laws constraining our every move.
Our private property is not our private property anymore. Why do i need to have every aspect of every action on my property regulated, licensed, and permitted to allow me to pay these insatiable regulators and legislators more and more of my piddling income? You legislators have already destroyed the economy and especially my job in the building trades. Now you smoking idiots are trying to make the children of illegal aliens legal citizens of the United States of America. This will make a huge block of voters who are literally trying to change the U.S into a wholly controlled subsidiary of Mexico. This is inimical to the interests of the vast majority of both U.S. and Mexican citizens.
Picture this: 20 million children of illegal alien Mexican citizens have to go to Mexico where they don't know Tio Julio. They already have a nice free education and a lot of assimilated American trends and values. Do you think they will not make a concerted change in the Mexican culture? If they already have the taste for the "American lifestyle", will they not start working toward reaching that in their own country? Will they tolerate the crooked politicians and entrenched party system there as it is? It would seem that they would change the landscape of Mexico and create jobs and opportunities there which would trickle throughout their country.
Like we used to do here before the corporate idiots screwed everything up and sold America to China and the sweatshops. When the United States manufactured items, we were a booming, basically content country. Our people had hope. One could work for a corporation and know that when they retired they would be rewarded for all those years of work. Now instead of realizing that workers are vital to anything you want or need done, the corporate "leaders" treat the workers as the enemy.
Without the worker there would be nothing for the wealthy people. Literally nothing. Assume a corporation exists which makes some electronic components. In order to make these components they need a protected space in which to do their work. This building will require skilled tradesmen to build it. and if you want it done right keep the illegal aliens off of the job. These workers will need to use materials processed by other workers at other facilities. The tools to build these other facilities and the tools to build your facility will need workers to build those tools. Heavy equipment operators to mine, smelt, machine, forge and assemble the minerals to build their equipment. These new buildings will assemble electronic components for our hypothetical corporation.
That will require the workers to make the materials that will be required to extract and process petrochemicals for your circuit boards and plastic component parts. It will need the workers who transport the materials to your plant. It will require workers in your plant to assemble your purchased and/or manufactured components. It will require workers throughout the country and perhaps the world to purchase your product with their own wages.
This is where the stupidity of those in charge of American economic policy and corporations are so patently stupid. When they take the job and benefits away from the American worker he no longer can purchase your product. Now you have to make your product cheaper, not only because you have a weaker market because corporate America wants to minimize the wage of the populace, but also because in your insane greed every cent that is possible to divert goes to stockholders and especially management. The most useless appendage in the whole stream of work. Now your manufacturing process is dated and inefficient because you didn't invest in the future due to your greed.
Are your $3.00/day chinese workers going to be able to afford your product? You screwed the American worker out of his former $20/hr and he can no longer afford your product. Do you expect a person who earns 37.5 cents/hr to buy that product? Try to make something idiot proof and they just build a better idiot. Then they let them run the management of corporations.
Obviously without a well paid worker there is no market to earn income for these rich idiots. They have no free money to buy your product? It won't sell. You won't get money from them. Other corporate idiots screw up the jobs of other Americans. Not only has your market shrunk again, but now you may not be able to buy what you need or want. Hmmmm. It only gets worse from there. Yes, right now at this conjunction of Third world growth and Americans still having a little income, you are able to exploit the cheap labor and still have enough of a market to sell to and sustain a profit for a little time. Soon, however . . . .

crazy in tucson?
It would seem that any rational person would feel that the killing and wounding all those persons in Tucson Az. is quite abhorrent. Look at the pain and suffering for all those innocent persons. That is hugely disturbing.
i originally wrote this blog when only a little information was available about the perpetrator. Now we know he is as crazy as a loon. Initially this was not known. Now we know he is basically apolitical (excepting his currency preoccupuation and bizarrre wording of his thought process. He is assuming that we are following his thought process but it is clear that he has leaps of understanding which are not immediately apparent to most of us. Sometimes it seems that he is communicating by gestalt more than coherent expression.
The Sheriff in that area started off stating that he believed that the vitriolic nature of our current political process has stimulated this outrage. Obviously wrong as we now know that the killer didn't listen to news or talk radio and basically seems totally unmotivated by this stated causation.
This is what is so frustrating to some people, and dare i say angering in this emotional climate? First of all it is hardly mentioned that there were stimulants and mind altering chemicals involved in this man's life. We don't know whether or not he was in an altered state at the time of the attack, but we know he used alcohol and drugs. Other massacres and horrible attacks are perpetrated by people using mind altering substances. Columbine. The high school student in Kentucky supposedly. These people were taking pharmaceutical substances - in fact 60% of the planned and executed school attacks were carried out by children on some sort of psychoactive pharmaceutical substance, whether it was Paxil, Ritalin, Prozac or some other poison.
Then second thing that is frustrating and stupid is the reaction of the government officials. Despite the fact that this is not the first such tragedy and may not be the last, it is unique only in that the victims were of high government rank and her entourage along with some truly unfortunate people she was trying to communicate with. Now i accept that Gabbi was an exceptional person but does she truly deserve this instant sainthood that is being draped over her? Probably not. She is quite likely human and has her share of flaws like the rest of us. But look at the total fear the congress is displaying! Instant bills to make it illegal to carry a firearm within one thousand yards of a congress person (or senator?) under severe penalty. We have had how many congressional and senatorial members over our centuries of being a country and now we have one shot? Now the coward wants to make a law to protect his ___.
What about the citizens. Of course we don't rate anywhere near the care and maintenance that the politicians do so why should i expect that i have the same safeties and protections for me and my loved ones, my neighbors and friends. No, only the politicos get this unequal protection. Why? Because you and i can't pass legislation, silly. What were we thinking? We can't vote ourselves the legal practice of insider trading like they did. We can't vote ourselves pay raises as they continually do. We cannot give our selves lifetime health care and deny it to everybody else. No, All animals are, but pigs are more equal, and obviously the legislators are our American pigs in our American Animal Farm. (George Orwell.)
Our American society now in the early year 2011 a.d. is quite stupid, unwise, and teetering on the brink of radical change. Hopefully it will be an evolution instead of the pain and violence of a revolution but change is coming. Soon.
Now in the first news it was mentioned that the perpetrator is a homegrown terrorist like the man in Texas last year who killed himself by flying his plane into the IRS building. How can the talking heads and politicians fail to realize that many people see through their whoring of themselves to interests inimical to the american people and that some of these people are pushed to a point where they can find such violent actions to be what they perceive as their best or only option? How can congress look on this woman as a saint and not even bother to look at the pain and legitimate anger that so many of us betrayed, true Americans feel. Obviously including this man. I say true American because that implies that the congress, senate, and "leadership" of this country have sold out the American Dream, the American people, and the American country to the highest bidder therefore invalidating their claim to be members of American society.
It was briefly mentioned that this may be the mark of people who believe in conspiracy theory, but tell me what is more likely. Is it more likely that our "leaders" continue to sell their votes to corporations and consistently increase corporate power and rights (to the point that corporations now have virtually every right you as a human being have) while taking your rights away. If a corporation or it's officers harms you, you have few options for redress, and these are getting whittled away continuously. Okay, let's call it a conspiracy of people selling out my interests to corporation for their personal reimbursement and benefit. This is done by congressmen and senators for literally over sixty years of this activity.
Is it more reasonable to expect that these people continue this horrendous behavior for six plus decades or to acknowledge that we the people continually elect people who share the same behavioral expressions of stupidity.
Either they are hurting their constituents because of their stupidity (oh duh . . . I'm supposed to HELP them?) or they find it in their financial interest to continue the same behavior politician after politician, year after year, rape of the citizen by every little and large rape. While i can in NO WAY condone the actions of the young man who shot the congresswoman and the innocent surrounding her, it is not at all difficult to understand that something may have triggered massive anger at the symbol of our government - the greatest present enemy of the american people.
To sum up this post. Our government is now basically telling us we have to be repressed and calm. Be peaceful and gentle. Will this motivate our sorry legislators to stop selling us out? To stop abusing their trust? To truly be a servant of their general constituency? They have sold out. They hurt us. They cannot avoid angering intelligent people who become aware of their duplicity, greed, and dishonesty. Of course they want us all quiet. Probably sedated.
