today's normal "pissed off mood"...


Here's another excerpt from an e-mail. I haven't been around much. Still am smitten over the election results & now this assault on the Second Amendment & x extension: me personally.

Ahhh well, same carp different day.

Now to the e-mail:
"...

This is absolutely "on point," but my question(s) to you is:
- so what? ...& why?

The "so what" is can we do something about it? ...& my answer is: I don't know any more. Short of violent upheaval - which is an instant looser & to be honest I'm not the martyr-type not even if I were given assurances & a names list of my 72 virgins - there is nothing much we can do. "The Machine" is so intrenched that to dislodge it would be as monumental as removing the dykes...& the system itself has been so co-opted as to be a non-starter. We're allowed to vote - w/ the resultant end(s) - as a pacifier. You don't actually think you have a real say in who gets the nominations or who ultimately gets the "Big Prize"? Do you? Really?

Now to the "why" of it: BECAUSE WE LET IT HAPPEN & CONTINUE TO BE COMPLICIT - by our very silence -  IN ITS PROPAGATION!!! ...& now we feel we are all impotent (see above). I for one, am almost convinced that we, in fact, are. In fact I'm about ready to get out my pink suit. "...if I'm going to be impotent, I'm gonna' look impotent." ...very old joke, but very relevant here."
