"Whatever is enforced by command is more imputed to him who exacts than to him who performs." --Michel de Montaigne http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Michel_de_Montaigne


The implosion of freedom began 9/11.

The destruction of "The World Trade Towers;" what I think of as a Cathedral of Greed; marked a turning point of no return for what America has become to itself and the world at large: a bully, childish in it's tantrums; a spoiled brat.

Instead of being the promised light shining brightly upon a mountain top it has become an exporter of munitions, death, pornography and drugs both licit and illicit. Possibly worse, or worst, it has become a dictatorship ruled by corporations who no long suggest but dictate policy favorable to its intents and desires: The Bottom Line.

The world now is rife with conservators of nature slain daily. I have no delusions regarding my authority since I have none save the delicate minuet daily danced between my prayer and response. Add to which I did not self ordain or elect myself a prophet of -- forget God -- Love instead of vengeance.

It now amuses me to consider the many ways of disposal; my mind, body and soul. Over which prospect I have no fear. But of the children and elderly I become incensed for they are hopeless and helpless like the Jews of Europe, who judged the culprit, were disposed of. Or those of Stalinist Russia by 60 Million disappeared.

Frankly, or Jacky as it may be; I'd rather be buried or burned alive than to die by Alzheimer's caused essentially, or so by scholars of Biology concluded, the infusion of various elements inimical to life. Though covert, as in never discussed in any open forum, Alzheimer's is currently at epidemic levels and swiftly rising to the levels of a plague.

For what & why?

For the greater profit of agricultural farming. This is merely the beginning of a lengthy food chain feeding the already porcine rich; those who in fact rule the world for themselves and their minions. Once again, within twenty four hours, I am amused to suggest that you grasp your sit down and kiss it goodbye. You & I are already dead, or at best, slowly dying from the depredations & predations of Greed, Inc.

In for a penny or pound.
If not now, when?
Is a good time to die?
I am ready, bring it on.

The origins of this mess could not be possibly be the origins, exclusively, of the attack. Yet insight or intuition indicates success to the attacker since we The United States of America have, as T. S. Elliot so long ago foretold, bit the lure and are now on our back; hook, line and sinker dying. Perhaps, maybe not, justifiably so since we hold the greatest power to destroy not only the species but the nest. A power which unlike swords cannot be forged into plowshares.

oh sweet Jesus on a go cart; I liked St. John the Divine's version better, best mostbestos hugely more romantic.
