Care to Dance?
“The sun had long since bid its parting adieu though its presence lingered in the canopy of stars; a soft evening breeze eases itself across the bay to fan the buckeye and maple trees which line the esplanade and though not immediate to his view the occasional scent of polish sausage and sauerkraut tethers one to the thought of a nearby vendor and his push-cart.
The Irony of All Ironies
“The few who understand the system, will either be so interested from its profits or so dependent on its favors, that there will be no opposition from that class.”
Mayer A. B. Rothschild is always a fabulous source for illustrating the hubris of monetary militarist; he is, after all, the archetypical master of the regimes ideology. To truly understand the nature of this Nation’s greatest crisis to date one will have to grasp the significance of this statement. One of the greatest ironies, if not perhaps The Irony of All Ironies, is the truth of what this comment has to say about our own Nation. The ideology that feeds the monetary militarist is so structurally pervasive and so affectively imbedded within our political and economic cultures that it is now seemingly inseparable; it may even be a fait accompli.
In Search of Representation
“That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,….”
An often overlooked component of the Declaration of Independence due a closer look; it is the enabling mechanism of the rights as described in the statement which precedes it. Implicit in its affirming fringe the declarants announce to the world the birth of representative democracy.
“…deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,….”

2012: A Single Issue
I happened to bump in to a friend the other day at the gas station and as seems the subject of late, the conversation soon turned to fuel prices. I’ve taken to gauge the price of fuel by the speed with which the cents accumulate. The way I figure, if you can’t read the numbers as they pass (it’s more of a blur) then you’re paying too much. I suspect the avuncular Obama would opine having something to do with me driving a gas guzzler, not of course that I would care.
Third & Fourth Choices
We’ve still several months to go before the field of would be Presidential Candidates resolves to its final form. The hold-outs and drop-offs are being scored as the media circus ramps-up to orchestrate what will most assuredly be, for some, yet another demonstration of democracy’s shining moment of political hyperbole-in-progress.
Already the news outlets, either in print or broadcast, make comparisons of personality and appearances though scant inquiry as to policy and even less to practice. I’m quite certain they are committed to appearing polished, conscientious and erudite after all the people will make their decisions based on the message they construct, willingly or otherwise. That is of course the understanding although I possess a bit of curiosity which peaks of interest from time to time regarding a few rather indiscriminant and seemingly less consequential issues. The few:
