ridiculous silliness

 

people make loud stands on social media,

but if you really mean your fear and rage

make sure you go out to the polls with people

who need transportation or help navigating

possible dangers; watch the poll watchers

and intercede as prudent (also, ask around

to find out what help people may need

in your neighborhood to vote)

 

 

 

 

the point of a free country is not that

everyone does as they please with impunity --

that's more of an oppressive  situation than

a mere dictatorship -- the point is that

the stakeholders (everyone involved) get to

freely figure out how to best keep

the peace while encouraging well being

 

 

 

 

abandon yourself into ridiculous silliness

 

 

 

 

the pipelines we need are

to transport water from the floods to the fires

 

 

I had just been thinking about

the kind of archetype of the mean/icy beautiful

woman/girl and that she must have been

overwhelmed by the attentions of people

who seemed to believe they owned her

because they so enjoyed her appearance.

 

 

 

in so many ways kids are not cared for,

not taken seriously as actual people,

not given the opportunities and resources

to become well educated people able to

successfully navigate the world we have

presented them, not honestly led or

honestly loved in ways that would lift us all.

 

 

 

I hate to tell you, it's not some establishment

party plot to elect moderates -- it's the actions

based on their desires of your mainstream

electorate.  The more progressive candidates

do win when their electorate is more progressive,

but POTUS has to engage the whole country,

with all the local and not so local prejudices.

 

 

 

The GOP clearly does not believe

people have a right to life, but rather

that life is an expensive privilege.

 

 

 

Show it:  encourage green projects

in these areas needing jobs.

 

 

 

California burning

normalized zeitgeist

like a futuristic movie

Biblical destruction

for sins against Creation.

Gaea screams in her

native tongue -- wind and fire,

disloyal water,

elements outside of

human control.

It never needs to be this way,

this painful.

Why do we insist on such

conflagration?
