Giddy up!
Greetings and salutations from the sand, sun and surf of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and the sunny, breezy, quite humid and warm island of Nantucket! Great to be with you on this 9th day of September, 2015, a busy Wednesday to be sure. The winds a whippin’ down at the old Hyannis/Hyannis Port Watefront(s), as this humble reporter planning on biking and swimming the day away, proving once one can look outside of the box society at large has found itself in, thus, I am obliged to utter these simple words meant in all sincerity, via the rock band “Pink Floyd”, “…wish you were here.”
Indeed, touring on said bike yesterday–past the Kennedy Compound and up the hill of Hawthorne arriving at the Hyannis Golf Club where OUR 35th U.S. President John F. Kennedy played many rounds, a remarkable view of Nantucket Sound and Squaw Island–one could not help but notice the coming changing of the seasons. A passing of ‘time’ yes, but deeper in scope in this late year of 2015… It’s almost contagious as the likes political, pop culture, military, big business, the schools, all of it, the whole crazy, zany, madcap human experiment revs up for one more try at ‘progress’, a word that evades many reasoned minds, not to mention those whose idea of reason lies somewhere in the land of FOX ‘news’…
What is progress? Is more of the same horse$hit we have been pulling for the past fifty or so years? Bueller?
A movement–such as Democratic candidate to become this nations’ 45th president, that of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders--is what this country needs if it is to survive the corporate onslaught against the OUR legacy of being an actual democracy with that little letter ‘d’. Not one that can be bought via the folly of a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 2010 “Citizens United v FEC”. A fatal decision that ushered in dark, undisclosed, immense amounts of monies from special interests, inviting Frankenstein into the political framework the actual framers of said democracy did not have in mind when they created this mostly harmonious society and nation we all love so… Sweeping, real change is the only way out of this mess called the rigged monetary-market system that only rewards those whose address is or in the neighborhood of 740 Park Avenue in New York.
Make no mistake about it folks, the unsustainable ‘pathway to prosperity’ this ‘not your grandfather’s GOP’ would have you go down is nothing more than a brier patch, filled with painful thorns and tar. A vote for any candidate the Republicans put out for mass consumption is a vote for the man or woman who will choose a plutocrats’ best interests over yours every day of the week, rain or shine. You can take it to the bank, of course, not one of “OUR” banks thank you so much. Members only, please sir, take your filthy business down the street to one of ‘your’ kind of financial ‘establishments’…
How is that 440 percent interest at “Pay Day Loans” working out for ya!
Money is the weapon; interest the bullet.
Have a good day folks!
PRESERVE THE WILDERNESS! Peace~M
