brain commode redux

Cholangiocarcinoma, bile duct cancer which took Ray Mazarek today, is the same cancer my ex is fighting.

We, as a country, allow companies and corporations to pour tons of toxins into our environment, create food that is unnaturally unhealthy and continue to decimate the environment- leading to a health epidemic and environmental catastrophes never seen before in the history of homo sapiens. On top of this, we fund the war machine 20x more than any other country and promote policies that destabilize entire regions and create a crisis continuum for millions of people.

I could go on- Prison Industrial Complex, the mass selling of fear to sell guns, constantly lowered wages which require Bangladeshi style mass deaths just to keep our kids clothed, and education system that now promotes tests over actual learning and critical thinking and on and on.

A half-mile wide tornado ripped through an elementary school today. A hurricane ripped through entire neighborhoods last year. There are catastrophic weather events happening globally, people are becoming more hungry and sick and war and conflict is rampant.

Nestle CEO doesn’t believe that access to water is a human right.

As the Dalai Lama said, we created these conditions. We can fix them.

Please start thinking about how our actions and lifestyles, how the companies and politicians we support all affect our world.

I have already apologized to my children for not doing more to shape the world they were born into and inherited from us for the better. I will have to do the same for my grandchildren.

Let’s help make their story a better one.

I enjoy a good conspiracy theory. I really do. Some I even subscribe to on the chance it’s compelling and has enough reality involved to  make it at least feasible.

The Boston bombing and subsequent rampage though? There is photographic, video and eyewitness evidence that it was really them and most likely not some false flag black ops daffy duck cheese marmalade operation. 

Sometimes things are what they are. 

What possible benefit could something like this offer some UN Globalist Corporatist Tri-Lateral Obtusenal Orangatananal effort is absolutely beyond me. You think it was test of martial law and corralling people? We got that down between the Japanese internment and Katrina “response”. And they allowed people to go to work and taxis to drive around. Yeah, no.

By the way: people are still starving, the banks are still profiteering, evictions are still happening, our water is being poisoned and privatized and none of the other issues are quite yet resolved. People can keep propping up the insane fear mongering of the extreme right, or the extreme left or the just flat out psychotic (mostly all three fit this last one) or you can put your time and effort in addressing real problems that make a difference for real people now.

Still not convinced? The UN can barely tie it’s shoes. Are you *really* worried they are going to invade and your guns and liberties?

I swear, there’s not enough tin foil on this planet…

NO- DO NOT GO MINE MORE TIN.

Go grow some vegetables so you can donate them in a few months. Clean a park. Develop a better waste water collection recycling system. Solar technologies. Disaster relief planning and response systems. Take *all* those lovely crazy brain cells and put them to work towards something positive and constructive instead of worrying about how many rounds of ammo you’re allowed to buy and dissecting blurry pictures posted on Reddit™.

Please.

Thanks.

Pee Ess— Mmmmm Cheese Marmalade…

The biggest issue I see is that children are taught almost daily to respect things, but not so much actual people.

This seems to carry through the rest of society and is the biggest challenge we face, especially when it comes to Rape Culture.

If someone breaks into someone’s home and is caught, people don’t question that the person will be prosecuted. 

If a person is accused of raping someone else, people ask “what were they wearing?” “were they drunk?”. 

They don’t ask in the burglary, “was the door open?” “Did that person have really nice stuff clearly visible in the window?” because that would be ridiculous reasoning.

So why when it comes to a human being should it be any different?

The Iron Lady
Against workers and Justice
May you rust slowly

Solidarity
The people will have Justice
Voices beat bullets

Defense of Marriage
Act is indefensible
Unless you’re a dick

It really should be
Constitutional to
Exclude Scalia

If you don’t Stand Up, you are Standing Down.

If you do not believe that two consenting adults should not be afforded the same rights as each and every other person to marry, live and thrive; then you are probably a bad person.

And if you believe they should not have the same rights because of your religion, then you are probably a bad person *and* have a ridiculous belief system.

Maybe it’s time to re-examine your life choices.

:D
