starving for help

I just saw a commericial to help the children in the world who have aids. it was a good one and if a speeding ticket had not put my bank account to zero I would have contributed. but this is not a complaint but an observation. there were a lot of anorexic actresses asking for help one all most wishes the charity included helping anorexics. it is distressing to watching movies or television and hoping in the next scene has the anorexics in the movie eating a burger. well I am fat so my body needs less burgers.

merry part bb

obama

well the election is over and I must admit that election day was the most moving a day since watching the POW's return from vietnam. I do not wish to ruin the glow of it all.
so Merry part.

politicking

well I must say that the more I hear Obama talk the more I am relieved. I was for clinton but I like Obama because he has common sense and that get to itness not seen in a long time. now I sit and worry I hope he will not be the first political Martyr of the 21st century in America.

immigrants and illegality

I am a radical when it comes to political and social beliefs, but with illegal immigration and bilingualism I fight to have reasonable belief and not fascist ones. I grew 1st generation American in the barrio and it was tough. Had my father not been an NCO and later worked for the post office and my parents stayed together my life would have been a brief episode of Cops. I would have known the true meaning of trailer trash.

The problem with illegal immigration does not lie with the immigrant. But with the massive business structure that surround the hiring and moving of the immigrant into the country. These people are not nice and many are mob bosses. the simple way to end illegal immigration is for big business to return factories to America. Get the American worker their jobs back and to have Big business and Us government open across the border offices and in Asia to sponsor people who qualify for the need to immigrate for special jobs that pay lower for the first five years, but then allow full green card status. This should allow the us government to track the immigrants concerning breaking the law and having them sign pledge for no signing up for assistance for the first five years.

What makes us children of WW2 immigrants angry at liberals that they want to give illegal immigrants a free ride. to get into America even at the turn of the century one needed sponsorship of a church, company, relation who had a residency or citizenship. At WW2 when people were starving immigrants waited for years in refugee camps for sponsorship into any country. Also the immigrants needed to sign a pledge not to apply for public assistance for 10 years. So to complain about how bad illegals have it they have it as bad as thieves and drug addicts and other lawbreakers. They are Illegal entrants in this country and not immigrants.

Well I tried to be reasonable I know that the poor are not to blame for their poverty, but even in America there is no free ride..

lying liars

well every one is running around with a chicken with their heads cut of over the fact that a women and a black man are running for president and both have a good chance...but sexism is rising as liberal men show their true colors in screaming that Hillary should quit using everything not making the party devisive, to stay in the kitchen patronage barely veiled(as if she would not know want to do when an emergency call comes in at three in the morning obviously they think she should be servicing mister Clinton or sleeping in New york like a good little hausfrau senator.

Hillary is a liar well all politicians lie and that is a good thing because being in the military and working in a government position for a few months I learned that most of the people do not want to hear the truth they want a slick and easy solution to their problems they face in running the country. No politician is ever going to admit what happened to the 2 trillion surplus we had at the end of the Clinton reign.....But because of that surplus I know Hillary knows what it takes to get the US out of debt. Obama was a one term senator He has no experience on Capitol Hill. Nothing with working to get the Us out of debt. I do not believe that he has the toughness to deal with what Bush, his oil cronies and the evangelicals have done to America.

I am not racist but simply a realist. do you want to go with experience player or put the country in the hands of a wild card.

merry part and blessed be

of poems and poetry

I like to get on the Poem of the Week because though I am a poet I rarely read or by other poets books. I have read Steinbeck early poems and Robert Frosts those I enjoyed but I am not impressed by TS Elliot. In my heart I prefer more baroque poets like Coleridge and Donne, Blake I have only read a minuscule amount but I wish to buy some more collections of his works. Yeats is a God and so is Rumi. As a child my father had an rare old book of Omar Kayain's ( if misspelled forgive me). It seems to me that the minimalism so popular and returning again in art is truly an excuse for sloppy art because as my dad used to say if it is good then you don't need a critic to talk you into liking the art.

Americans and stupidity.

I am not one to think that Americans are inherently stupid, because push come to shove the unwashed masses usually try to do the good deal. They are just not given the chance since the the Cold War and the Founding of the Industrial Military complex, it has been hard for the average American to receive even a decent education. In the 60's there were programs for the child with high IQ's but the rest wallowed in boring classes. I saw a video about Americans not knowing anything about anything but if someone had a camera in my face and said I being taped for television I might not be able to answer a question by simple human condition called being flustered( an old fashion word).

Americans are pretty smart they know the clock is ticking that for the working man 1890's are coming back...They just do not know what to do to stop it and unions are so corrupt that they and the worker have abandoned each other. Universities make more money off of foreign students that for the lower classes that opportunity of climbing into the middle-class is drying up.

America Is now becoming the Playground of the worlds rich and soon being and marrying a Barista or sto will be the equivalent of marrying up.

tibet and mongolia

I get extremely angry when I think about China and our relationship as a country with her or him. It makes me ashamed that we support a communist stalinist country..All those mall are in the city the peasant and they are still peasants are working in the country and starving or in not sweat shops but slave shops..in Tibet formerly a free country, people are being gunned down by a foreign occupier. Religious leaders in the west click their tongues while secretly relived that China is doing for them what America will not need to do in the future getting rid of heavy competition. As Tibet is the only country to be converted to pacifism by a religion, no not even that but a philosophy.

I hate the fact that to be a green-friendly, fair trade buying person is impossible for anyone but the upper class and they love to flaunt it..Blaming us poor lower class fat shulbs for the problem as consumers but never giving us affordable humane substitute..What started this rant is I was doing laundry and I looked at the back of the tag that said Marianas, USA, up front and I saw with a pen written Dar fur. Someone snapped with that shirt and wrote the truth....Good for them...

rumbling and tumbling

well on the east coast eco-terrorist are acting up by burning a bunch of supposedly eco-friendly mansions. Much ado is being made by the locals while the feds are keeping their cards close to their pockets stating that no incendiary devices were found while the local fire dept disagrees. Elf did it and I know these people mean well, but I wish they leave the elves out of their misguided effort to clean up the earth because soon someone is going to die.

every day there seems to be another shootout somewhere in an office, a mall, a school, or a university. Is it that earth and America has reached it's limit in population in which people may live sanely. Maybe we need Population Zero commercials again with superstars, stars and starlets without bumps pleading some common sense to us in heartland. Maybe that will get rid of the 16 and one more on the way idiocy shows the learning channel enjoys to put on the weekend.

HIllary

I wish , I wish, truly wish for her success I lived though the Clinton admin as a disalbled vet. It was wonderful the hospital did not stink on the weekend so bad that you begged the doctor to cut you loose. It was a pristine world during their reign a lost real CAmelot a Camelot for adults and the poor. Not the 60's version of the yuppies, that Kennedy had seduced.

Living the liberation

I need to write something that I believe is traitorous but true Feminists need to stop blaming men for the stupidity of females and I mean the bubble headed blondes of the conservatives..I grew up working class and in the barrio and am mixed race I am a radical and proud of it ... I was raised to be a conservative in a religion that is at best called fundementalist..I am a radical and My sister is referred in the family as the madonna of Bellflower and a republican. I honestly believe that if you are working class male or female and a republican you are a fool and have allowed others to do your thinking for you. The problem with continuing to blame patriarchy is that we must start to blame the agents of patriarchy the mothers for their part in the raising of people so foolish that they would vote into office people that would murder their sons and daughters by proxy by starting a war and then make them feel good about the murder by pumping the soldiers family with empty phrases of national jingoism and religious elitism..The Sad thing is once you reach 18-years old male or female you need to learn how to think and how to think for your self or you spend your life as pathetic as Dear Rush regurgitating Dad's racism, sexism and classism while chug-a-lugging Hillbilly heroin.

The crux of the matter is we live in a country trapped by Mom and Dad's superstitions and hatred and worn out religion all the while to scared to let go of their love and regard and believe me they know how to manipulatie the little one to believe what family party line is...Or why do we have Mel Gibson saying that his father never told him an untruth.. Social Conservatives families raise their children to be naive and childlike to authority. Why because they are authoritarian? And to them indoctrination is the way to educate not learning knowledge. Knowledge gets you kicked out of pretty gardens. THe child's welfare is not important as much a the parents continued belief in the party line that they learned from their parents.

Even worse than intergenerational conservatives are the newly converted conservative.. but all these people believe that they can turn back the clock a return to simpler and nicer time by taking something away from someone with less power than them..Instead of realizing that they are scapegoating people,behavior or naively finding solutions to society's problems by restricting behavior(ususally of the female sex). Some of their solutions are absurd and scary.

While blithely believing that broken homes and a complex societal interactions will be fixed by a teenage girl signing a pledge and living in a modern harem until young amercan fascist can marry her and keep her in her place. One Wonders when the glow of purity balls fades and tarnishes if these young women will soon find harsher methods used to insure purity.. Like honor murder or attack here and there.

But I am exaggerating, I hope..I have always had a sneaking suspicion that social conservatives in the US always envied the radical conservatives of the Middle East..Nothing in watching their behavior has caused that suspicion to be allayed.

We are living in a time of crisis WE do not have time for fairy-tales of our parents..The rich and powerfull are evil, if simply for the fact that they refuse to accept hard truths and force humankind into a measure of responsibility starting with the people that made an obscene amount of wealth from the destruction of the environment.

Remember these people were born of women and women had input in the rearing of them..So IN this time of crises women must man the breaches and especially disabuse ourselves of fairytales of the past..we do not live in a time that we can raise children to believe in sloppy logic and fairytales. Nor can we teach them to assign blame to the powerless or simplistic thinking in face of the hard complex issues that need to be solved..The human race needs to grow up and get smart. Every individual needs to think for themselves or die because at this time if you snooze it will not be you but that small child or grandchild of yours that loses...What a terrrible legacy of destruction we will leave them..Just like one our parents left us that hampers and makes harder the cleaning up we need to do. Environmentalist were screeching at our parents and all that our parents did was teach us to hold them in contempt and call them tree Hugger..This alone should prove that those that taught us to be conservative were either too dumb to realize and/or neither particularly cared that the next generation would have live with the harm done to the planet. A generational truth about the true concerns of parents and the welfare of the child, in which a fairytale of destruction is more important and entertaining..Than the work of leaving ones children a planet they can live on and prosper. It is more important to force an Abused deity to peform a cosmic miracle than to leave ones children with enough clean air, water and wildlife to survive..The height of selfishness from the family values set.

cnn- and asia

I was a coming downstairs to see how my husband is doing, he had surgery on tiuwsday and was being kept up by the pain.. I heard the news on Cnn stating that bags of potatoe chips had been sent to the Usa laced with poison an acid, but also others. I know that I am a small brained Savannah female, but is it not dangerous to place in the hands of a foreign country the manufacture of ones food. It seems also dangerous to use a country that is Idealogically at war with a Capitalist country like the USA. But that is just a Observation I guess corporate america and the president know better.. Or maybe the population of the world is such that a little thinning of the herd from contaminated food is not something ,the Powers that be, care about.
I see something that might be disturbing to the Chinese elite. It looks as though the proletriant paradise is producing good little worker bees that seem to be taking a great deal of enjoyment out of embarassing the politburo with product tampering,,,Maybe China is not that stable a financial investment..It seems even amongst the asians, working in sweatshops with sweatshop pay and conditions is not appreciated... Just because the Government appproves of sweatshops does not mean the workers in them approve of being abused and exploited...I think that they enjoyed watching the elite heads roll at the scandals and now they just are product tampering for the hell of it...It is not as though the products are going to anyone that cares about them or are of any help to them..

Good bye Kitty

At one time in my life I used to get Psychology Today religiously..Now I avoid in partaking and a recent article by male behavior psychologists is the reason why..Unfortunately the article is and will spawn a book that unfortunately lazy thinking people will believe asnwers all the question on why women are treated like shit and why it should be continued and Most important Why Males and society in general need not feel bad about it.


My first question to the author is aren't there any rats that are in dire need of torturing that intelligent people need to wade through the garbage that your spotty logic has come up with to explain complex interaction of males and females..

Why do men like big boobed bleached blondes? Because the represent youth and thus males love jailbait..Not because Playboy and its Ilk have turned Bleached blonde with large breasts into an erotic fetish for the average male. There is nothing natural about Pamela Anderson and Marilyn Monroe they are artificial, I doubt a caveman would know what to do with them..


As for blonde hair that signifies wealth and is a status symbol not a symbol of youth. IN ancient until renaissence time Blonde hair signified that a women was a prostitute and of low moral fiber.

Well the article goes ad nauseum about how frat boy behavior is inherent in males.. And excuses it on evolution and the savannah, Never has a place been so abused by pop-psychology as the Savannah. Of course women must now in mass bleach their hair and become a mans 12 wife because we profit by polygymy..I truly wish pop culture would stop shoving polygamy down female collective throats..My belief is that if A man has numerous wives even rich he would still spend less on you simply because they are wives not wife. I will take serial monogamy over polygymy any day.

Another point suicide bombers need to get laid but cannot because all rich men have taken the women. I have always believed that religion and not the savannah had a great deal to do with it. But Heaven forbid I am just a little female and my small savannah brain might be over heated by trying to write and think at the same time. That must be left for the men and their bigger brains.

Well after reading this tripe A few weeks ago group of behavior psychologist again lacking any rats to torture set out to find out why women like the color pink..Undeterred even by their own evidence it seems among most modern females the color lilac to lavender and/ or red to wine are perferred..We like Paris Hilton pink because we once gathered the food on the infamous Savannah,,we gathered food,,we like the color pink...I have yet to see a fruit that is the yucky color of bubble gum pink they are Again trying to collectively shove down FEmales throats. it is enough to say Goodbye Kitty.

I now believe that we must start a Fund,a Charity to keep behaviour psychologists well stocked with rats so the population no longer needs to read this drivel masquerading as science.

Faux pas

Well I need to admit that I have gotten confused about the full moon and believed it a week earlier than it should be. Does that make me a Bad Pagan no, Just a confused one but it does show that I might not be ready to practice magic or lead ritual until I get head out of my bottom.. Which I really do not mind as I prefer to be the circles baker and cook instead of magician.

blessed be, merrie part from the hinterlands.

a name and rose gardens rose

I just got off of Philospher's playground and I started thinking about semantics and the difference brought up the naming of act like killing and murder..Murder connotates a crime where as killing can be anything from state execution to self defense..a generic catchall..Like calling the murder of a young woman an honor killing instead of an honor murder as if it is parental discipline taken a tad to far..As though parental massacre is ridiculous and some teenagers are vexing enough to kill. As though young women are family property to do with and thus it cannot be murdered if a family kills one. It is like calling Domestic Violence, spousal abuse and not spousal attack..Attack is direct and shows premeditation, abuse gives the picture kicking the wife around like an old shoe or dog... something one carelessly does to ones property..Not something one should do but if it happens no big deal..With the term abuse comes the unconscious judgement, of what the vicitm did or why the victim allowed it..Not the truth that the prepatrator at that moment spurriously attacked a supposed loved..Abuse allows those effected to wallow in blaming the victim. Whereas No one really ever asks to be attacked.

Another site a British cop female of course gave a satirical and cynical manual on what a victim must do to get a rape conviction, being a trained rape crisis center worker I can say the satire is dead on right. All though the male commentors on the sight found it hard to believe a female may-be raped by a male..PC Blogg- twentieth century police woman or man I forgot which.

It is sometimes not hard to see, why going gay seems the way, in face of such male stupidity..I must say I am happy to be married to a man who loves the fact and will enlighten people to the fact that He is a lesbian trapped in a male body and a butch dyke no less. So at home I do not have put up such Male driven Idiocy.

Well I went to the gym this week after not working due strenuous volunteer work.. I found that Fox News is still catering to paranoids and that obese people have a Virus that makes them fat on CNN. It was a miracle the announcer looked as though he had an AHA moment in which a Prejudice Paradigm switched and Compassion entered for fat people I love seeing that on the News those quiet AHA annoucement no ponderous sermonizing or a saw the light witnessesing but a simple change in spoken attitude..It made getting to the gym at 5 in the morning worth it/

Well merrie part from the Hinterlands and Blessed be
As the full moon goes so may continued prosperity of all last in its waning. Hail Selene.

The English Patient and class ethos...

I saw the English Patient today for the first time I tried the watch it yesterday on cable but decided to rent for a more closer viewing as I was watching it with my husband and we like to make cogent observations about films when we watch them..and the English patient is a film that needs to be watched the first time closely or in the isolation of a dark theater.

The first observation of my husband was what were all these upper class blokes doing in the desert. My comment was that back then rich trust fund babies were usefull as they had time on their hands and could explore things and map them unfortunately Satellites have destroyed this use of rich folks. Now young Upper class blokes trowl the titty bars(excuse me Gentlemen Clubs) instead of the sahara or the congo or the amazon.

I did like the movie even if it was depressing..unlike Elaine I did enjoy it.
But romantically the upper class romance was over the top and overdramatic and a bit cheesy...The people I related to were the soldiers the nurse Hana and the bomb detail members and Willem Defoe's character reminded me of a family member..I found their lives and their tragedies the most moving and the most beautiful..It seemed as though the WAr and its daily horror bonded these people so closely and yet with the final grateful end of victory comes the end of that bond..With relief comes the time to remember, comes the time to seperate, life for these characters will never be the same.. The count and Katherine are the death of the old world order of aristocrats and their supposedly noble endeavours..The count dies and with him the dramatic and entitled love..Hana suicides him for he and his character are no longer relevant in the post war europe..Hungary will lose its counts and countesses to a proletariant world of communism..Hana and her small friends are the future..The count and the Cliftons are the past..IN the fiery crucible of WW2 the colonial world of Britain is destroyed and the Noble largesse of the English Patient and his love disappear...Why is it that goings on of our betters always seems more romantic and more dramatic..Their sufferings more tragic and their motivations more noble...

Merrie part from the hinterlands

edwards incites envy in the beating heart of mankind including pseudo-male coulter.

I am a sittin and a readin hullabuloo a political web site on it a story about journalistic ethics and their, the press corps, none to subtle attempt to tank Edwards campaign. A nice looking man that seems to cause little shmendric reporters hearts beat with envy and petty viciousness. I wonder exactly where the public got the Idea that they could trust the press to tell you the truth about anything...Occasionally a social injustice might be so grave that it elicits a outrage and one of them goes on a campaign but that is a rare occurance..once in a blue moon a ethical man that happens to good writer who is apolitical in loyalties will appear on the scene..But most of these people write what the owners politics and beliefs are. Shading their stories with what the Man wants on paper..COme on Yellow journalism was born and bred in america...A Blogger will tell you honestly what their political leanings are and do not pretend hypocritically that they are sancrosant and unmoved by political or financial agendas. The press cannot even come close to such honesty...

Well the mantra about Edwards is he is a Hypocrite because he is rich and wants to help the poor..Bad EDwards such a class traitor, just like the Hollywood liberati...Honest rich people want to exploit the poor, women and coloreds of all stripes, including their mixed raced bastards. Heaven forbid, there has never been any rich people so treacherous as Edwards...I believe that the press has forgotten about the new caring conservatives in office that cannot seem to buy Kevlar vests for soldiers and fortify the armor on their Humvee's yet slash at any given moment the taxes the rich pay... Because the rich suffer so much more delicately and more refine pain at tax time, than shot-up and blown-up soldiers.

Yes the press had hit it on the nail the rich do not care about the people of the lower classes..America is beginning to look more like Versailles in Louis time that the republic of the common man..soon the tribal drums will start beating and the wheel will turn and the new jacobins will appear on the american landscape and maybe 5,000 dollar handbags will be the rallying cry for outrage when it finally enters the america consciousness that they are the poor not the rich and to support the wealthy in their exploitation of the poor is being a class traitor despite what the preist or the preacher say...

Merrie part from the hinterland.. working to return america to the common man, one step at a time. one sacred cow at a time...

skewed judgment

Well I was on Feminsting as I read a came upon an interesting blog one on judging women and use of judgemental opinion as driving force in public policy concerning women's issues....Someone did a survey about women that have ordered PlanB and their opinion about it being available to women over the counter...they thought it was a good Idea except that some women might use it as an excuse to party down and fuck everything in sight. These are the amorphous women that inspire around the world religious regimes and mysognist societies to do horrendously physical acts and pass evil barbaric laws that affect all women in order control these shadow women...These are the women that men see when they rape a little teenager in a mini-skirt because she is asking for it...These amorphous baby-eatin, dog-fuckin, cock-destroyin, castratin She monsters that society must be protected from...Unlike the nuclear bomb buildin, destructive, womin-hatin, sexually assaultin, murderin, doggin He-monsters that rarely affects society and wrecks havoc. It is the sluts we need to worry about and not the insanity of the male species. I suppose that these women with these fears of the Plan b pills never thought that women they fear will misuse the pill are the ones least capable raising children and are the ones the should given or put on contraception as quickly as possibly, do not pass go...But then we would be promoting promiscuity instead of protecting infants and repressing sex is much more important than protecting a child..

in the crucible of war Who is the enemy?

On the Fourth of July there was a bitter melancholy at watching America Celebrate a country that I once loved to the point of beleiving inane and delusional political beliefs that I held because I wished to protect America..In my youth I once thought Before the TRilogy of Idiocy that I partly participated the REagan, Bush and Bush theocracies. I was proud to be american to be born here, Now I realize that the help of my Goddess and a accident of tragic luck. None my good fortune now that has occured because of my ex-political beliefs and of ex-friends and family. For if they had their way being another Vet under the Freeway overpass would have been my fate..I think that they would relish the sympathy of that. Than having to accept the fact that getting federal help for a disability service connected is easing a leftist liberal ingrate.. Conservatives love to wave the Flag tell people how patriotic they are, but when it comes to raising the salary of soldier or the fact they always are working to limit Veteran Benefits they are not infused with generosity even should I imply christian charity ...A few months ago I read about a Vet that is being hunted in a military witch hunt because he wore his cammies at a protest, despite removing insignia which makes his uniform Illegal and not a uniform. Complaining a pundit of the right, groused about the fact that the VET was so ungrateful to Bush for his gift of camoflague wear(and a all paid trip to the middle east) the said vet should summarily lose all his Veteran Benefits..WE are so generous to our patriots, the freedom ain't free class, that now they have their wish Veteran's no longer have their freedom of speech for fear of not getting medical help.

But I read the post on the blog Group News Blog about the fact that in Iraq there are more paid mercenaries in the employ of the US of A...in fact 160,000 about forty thousand more that fighting US soldiers there.

Much of the talk about War crimes swirl around these Mercs. Exorbitantly paid Mercs and Below minimum wage paid US soldiers it still the underpaid warrior showing any true compassion to the Iraq's but to them merc or army they still considered America soldiers..

Conservative will use false platitudes to see that every one knows they love the troops..But in their mind like the deserving poor, there is also a new class, the deserving Veteran.. If they could help the deserving veteran with right attitude, religion and even war wounds and filter out all the shwalele. Then caring and conservatism would be so much easier, kinder and caring conservative.

Merrie part from the Hinterlands and behind enemy lines in the battle to return America to Freedom and greatness. One state at a time, one court battle at a time. FReedom ain't free until your freed.

Never giv up!!!!!

Today I have reading about the live concert and how some people are wondering if it is a futile gesture towards helping Mama Earth..that it might not accomplish any thing...The thing about gesture metaphorical, political or literal is that they are things remembered later long in to the future by those who view it and at many times very effective on the ones that at the time were least able to do something about the problem being expounded by the gesture.

When I was young I remember a EArth DAy celebreation on the network TV channel I think it was ABC...It had all the newest stars Meryl streep and Beth Midler doing skits trying to reach middle america and give them the newest science about pollution and the destruction of the environment...So youngins if an oldster tells you they did not know about global warming and et al..when they voted for the trilogy of idiocy, REagan,Bush and Bush they are lying it was out there in prime time Family hour with with pretty Stars playing out skits that explained and made environmental science so family friendly even an evangelical could understand it..

I became an environmentalist because of it..Also the people who argue for using the Age old slash and burn technology of the past to develop the third world>Use such illogic in their arguments you wonder if they learned their debating skills at Liberty U.

At these venues you do learn alot of info about the small things you can do at home..During WW2 alot of homebound americans did little things that helped change the course of WW2..IN the battle to end the destruction of GAia it will also take alot of small things and inconveniencies to win..But it is not impossible and Live Earth is the way to get across to people that in everyday life you can make a difference ,for if not, then we either live in denial or swallow a bullet..
