So I was thinking again today, well a lot of days. Nothing really and lots of different topics from the truly mundane and trivial to the deep and meaningful. It’s all relative. Even truth is relative on the telling. Is it the whole truth?
And if there is an omission, was it an intentional and willful omission or was it an oversight as in missing the forest for the trees sort thing.
Not everything in this are my own words, I am intentionally adding the US Pledge of Allegiance and the lyrics from the Fine Young Cannibals song, Blue. What are you daft man! What in the blue blazes does one have to do with the other and your usual running on about the rodents in your thought processors. Absolutely nothing. Just wanted to do it so I did.
The pledge parts have ( around them)
The song part have { around them }
Why? Well it’s plagiarism if I don’t give credit
Oh why in general. Well then an excellent question, and it’s because I can. Which is an entirely acceptable as an exercise in writing but in genetics because you can isn’t a very logical or a very good reason to do something. Bad things can happen then. However, with words it just suggests that bad things are possible and later coming to the conclusion that this was a bad idea and not doing anything about it…well not doing anything more that is to say. It sort of save the whole running and screaming while you watch your friends get eaten by the mutant bunny snapping turtle snake thingy. See it’s a bad idea.
Back to the point pledge and song . So why these two things. Well be cause I want to rant a little bit about the state of the state and not Virginia but the state as in the union, as in the whole of it, our nation and not just the Virginia bits.
Do they say the pledge in school any longer? I think they do at least in elementary school. The thing is bogged down in this whole debate about two words well one word … god. Yup I did the little g intentionally … yes that makes me a blasphemer to some I know I have the tag stenciled on me that says I am a heretic. So
(I pledge allegiance to the flag)
This wasn’t the original wording “my flag” was the original, stating some ownership to the nation which is symbolizes by the flag. Why force a pledge anyway. Spies and sycophants are the only people who willing rush to utter a pledge in the first place and you can trust the spies more because at least you know they are going to put the screws to you. The other group well they just haven’t decided when but it might be now or later or some other time and you won’t know when or why or how. But they will once you’re not the flavour of the month any more. You may not even realize you are not the flavour of the month any more when it happens. I like that spelling better thank you very much.
{ I’ve had a bad day, yeah.
My hometown is falling down, I’m mad about that.
And people there don’t seem to care, I’m mad about that. }
Well my home town is falling down but it’s like a lot of other hometowns dying away and it’s not that that people don’t care but how do you care or fight when it’s take, take, take, and more is taken away. And our leaders divide us up into stupid little demographic groups and say if you are this person, under 35, with an educational level of 14 (means some college) and earn less than 35k and are in a rural area you are probably conservative and will be motivated by stopping abortion, gun rights and patriotic words. However, if you are urban you are for abortion, against guns and patriotic words make you distrust people. Hmmmm.. Bah is what I have to say about that. They spend all this times dividing us up and not doing a damn thing.
I am not cattle, I am not sheep I’m tired of all the poster boy politics and slogan-ism news coverage of issues. The whole time the nation I live in is going to hell in a head basket. Do something. It may not be the right answer but doing something is better than doing nothing and sitting in committee and saying things like well the America I believe in wouldn’t do it that way.
(I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America)
Aren’t we supposed to be united I know I spell badly and have some dyslexic traits but it doesn’t say UNTIED it says UNITED. We are a whole nation not fifty little ones. Although Europe seems to be kicking our butts in pretty much every social arena and they are about 50 little countries.
{ Good god, all my tears
There’s no denying life would be better
If I never ever had to live with you,
Blue - it’s a colour so cruel }
Ok the blue thing doesn’t have to do with political colours or states that word is simply a lyric in the song. Talking about sadness and it fits because the indifference and lack of reality by our leaders is cruel.
And wouldn’t our lives be so much better if the people who were in charge had even a little bit of a clue. I mean really had some little bit of an understanding of poverty and the struggle of the working class in the US, the problems in our educational system, trying to make ends meet on a minimum wage salary.
They all say it’s a matter of choice. Well true but aren’t you same guys and gals selling the “american dream” and putting up obstacles to that path.
Granted I understand the concept of help versus hand out. Give a man a fish you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish you feed him for a life time. Well what if fat cat chemical company dumps all its toxic sludge in the rivers and lakes and kills all the fish? What then? Hmmm. Or allow private businesses to buy up all the rivers and lakes and tell the average guy you can’t fish here anymore it’s owned by big fat cat business man
{ Government has got me wrong, I’m mad about that.
And it makes me feel like I don’t belong, I’m mad about that.
It’s making life a misery, you would have taken the liberty
Government has got me wrong, I’m mad about that. }
We aren’t treated equally, we aren’t governed fairly, we aren’t lead effectively we…
(I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands: )
We are no longer a republic. We have been duped, bamboozled, hoodwinked, run amuck, lead astray, lied to, cheated on, shafted, rammed, sold down the river, laid low, rode hard and put away wet. [Thanks Spike]
“We the people,” means nothing to the leadership of our nation. We the overlords of the masses is more likely the slogan they abide by. We are not even a democratic republic any longer.
We are a party driven, industry based, and not a very marketable product at the moment. The lives of the average citizen are very much similar to the indentured service agreements of the past and just steps away from out and out slavery. We do make a bit of money but we have to give most of it back not to taxes because our services and goods are not effectively regulated. So We The People are sold goods.
We sell part of our lives, the bigger part to our bosses and government. For what?
For them to suck all the use out of you and then once you make a single mistake they can dump you. Without cause.
(one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.")
We aren’t a nation under god, we are divided, our liberty is sold and justice is paid for. I see it everyday. Yes the system does work in some instances but it is by and largely broken. Our entire system is broken. From the top down. It needs a complete overhaul. Listen to the things being said today and then read the stuff written and said right before we mailed that little thing to George and no not the dimwit from texas he can’t read anyway. The other george from back in the day. We are headed the same way if you listen. We are so divide though we don’t see it. The words too divide us.
Those words, under god, divide a lot of people. They weren’t even added until 1954, same year they added in god we trust to the money. Why?
Because the union of communist socialists soviet republics [CCCP/USSR] stated they were not going to recognized religion and tore down/burned a lot churches and Stalin systematically killed millions of people wiping out entire ethnic groups and languages from the earth. Hitler tried and failed but Joey didn’t fail in this effort.
So in an effort to show them and Joseph who in case you were wondering didn’t give a rats patootie about us or that we were a nation who had religion. We would fall by our own had because of our own greed. I’m not saying communism is the answer or that Joey was a good boy because he wasn’t. But back to the point.
We add it to our money and now money is our god? Well for a lot of us …Hmmmm.
Money divides us, god divides us, our politics tell us we different and further divide us
We are divided … and we will die if it continues… by our own hand.
So lets try to stop bickering and do something.
The president is a citizen he was born here, grow the f*ck up and deal with it, we need a fair and equitable tax rate, we need affordable goods and services, we need better health care today not another ten years from now, we need an educational system which educates our citizens so we can be our own leaders, so we can build our own businesses we can make a better tomorrow. You have to tend a garden to make thing grow in it or the weeds take over and sure a few things will live. But if you tend it more grows, the harvest if plentiful. There is an abundance and everyone succeeds.
{ There you go telling lies, it’s no surprise
I say a prayer, to make you care,
You wouldn’t listen
It’s been too long, it’s time you’re gone
Get away from here
I’ve had too much - but not enough
It’s time you left }
We the people, you, me, your neighbor, the kid down the street, the hottie police officer chick in the squad car down the street.. Hey,.. Sorry…. all of us need to stand up.
Tell you leaders make it better. Fix it. Now. Our jobs, our homes, our lives are at stake and if we don’t have jobs it all gets worse.
Do something now and stop acting like a bunch of five year olds in the back seat I’m not touching you with your finger jammed a millimeter away from the other kids nose.
Dear leaders I say grow up, or get the hell out. Maybe we need our own gunpowder revolution without the gun powder. So here it is the pen is supposed to be mightier than the sword write your elected official and tell ‘em what for.
Don’t know how copy and paste it and pick your people

And people there don’t seem to care, I’m mad about that.}
Be mad but use it constrictively.
In other news -
I still don’t like the frog
The troll makes me wanna vomit and finally…
Why?
I think that’s about all for now though if you read this far leave a note plz : )
Other stuff tomorrow, have a great day and play nice in the neighborhood.
Ciao,
PS thanks to the king
