A culture is delusion: it is a story that is told to its people by the people and for the people. It is based on whims and desires and all things temporary and not of the depth of introspection: rather it is the masturbatory fantasy of an ideal that lives in a world of black and white where the human condition exists in that world exploited by Cecil B. Demille.

A culture can rationalize logic in a false concept: we were once ready to go to war with Russia for its desire to build a missile base on Cuba but cannot understand why Russia would be against us building a missile defense base in the Ukraine, and then be totally miffed by their increased protectionist attitude towards their backyard.

A culture can criminalize an entire segment of its working class of citizens, requiring the importation of aliens to replace them and then say that they are stealing jobs from the indigenous people.

A culture can export its manufacturing to another culture, exploiting the Nuevo wealth of the exploited and then be stunned by the imperfections of the product.

A culture can export its manufacturing to another culture and then complain about that culture’s aggressive attempts to acquire the raw materials to build those products.

A culture can ignore the taboo effects (to come in contact with taboo is to become taboo) of its imperialism.

A culture eventually reaches a point where it’s practitioners are no longer capable of producing great indigenous leaders. Beyond that an anomaly comes along: where a great leader comes to the forefront in spite of the culture and in an ironic twist of suffering for those few that can see it; the culture cannot identify or elect that leader and instead they continue to elect less than satisfactory leaders. Leaders that are more representative of the delusion.

Oh and I forgot:

That culture can hide behind the word “Law” as in “We are a nation of Laws” which means what? We are a nation of a culture that has created a ritual to reinforce its whims and desires that are apt to change like the wind but since it is a culture: it’s cool. What it really means is those in power get to make the rules! Or power ….well you know.

It’s not just your stepson. My veteran son with no record whatsover can’t find anything beyond minimum wage as a job. This is not right.

The fierce urgency of now extends beyond our kids. it affects each and every person living in this nation who has even small inklings of heart. We are in danger of losing our collective compassion if McCain is elected.
