Sea Cape Cod by Michael Mosier

Greetings and salutations from the sand, sun and surf of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and the foggy island of Nantucket!  Great to be with you on this Wednesday afternoon, roughly 2:41 p.m., another gorgeous one out on Cape, as I look out onto Cotuit Bay, with cool breezes inviting the brilliant early fall sun to reflect upon the water that is as blue as the deepest sapphire your eyes have ever seen…  Normally, if you read seacapecod.net regularly, this ‘message in a bottle’ comes at you LIVE, so to speak, early in the morning, usually before the sun has even risen.  However, after taking a vacation, it has been difficult to get back into that routine of immersing myself with eight to ten hours of ‘news’ coverage, along with three to four hours of reading data, to get at the TRUTH as to what is really happening with this country of ours, let alone the world at large, and so I only ask that you give me a few more hours to get back into the swing of things, ’stop grumblin’ and get back to work, this ‘blog’ is not going to write itself!  So what can we tell you from the hallowed shores of Cape Cod and the islands that you don’t already know?  The political theater will continue for the next fourteen months, for the puppets on the right do not wish to actually DO anything to move this country out of a near depression, certainly stagnant economy, i.e., STRUCTURALLY changing the tax code, investing in our infrastructure, schools, and green technology to move our country well into the 21st century, while on the other side, the democrats will not touch, nor should they, good social programs that have been proven to work much better than the system of private insurance we CURRENTLY have…and with the Presidential election coming up in November of 2012, the impetus to actually improve life for the common man, woman or child is just too much to ask, too politically charged, and hence, we will just see more of the same, as the ’super committee’ set up to tackle our enormous debt, thanks mostly to George W. Bush and his irresponsible policies, fails to act and the toothless ‘triggers’ also fail to do anything of value, the Bush era tax cuts will be the bargaining chip as democrats pray for a victory over what will be, if, God forbid, one of these clowns on the right gets elected, the first President of the United States to be a wholly owned subsidiary of an eclectic collection of plutocratic interests, starting with ‘men’ like David and Charles Koch. However, this country is not completely stupid, nor is it defenseless.  Sooner or later, the general electorate will wake up to what is truly going on–with our environment, our educational failings, our tax code, our judicial system, our voter suppression problem, and the overall rigged system that rewards the top one percent while it eats away at the very fabric that made this country the envy of the world.  Have a nice day and keep on truckin’, tomorrow is just a day away!      PRESERVE THE WILDERNESS!
