People with real lives are too busy

living to bother with clamoring

against or for celebrities, or engage

in political hate.

Perhaps our real chance to prevail

over the ambient insanity is to

encourage and inspire real lives.

 

 

 

I don't want politics in our most intimate

areas of life, which, if we had any belief

in individual liberty or even the value of

individual lives we would understand.

 

 

 

In a sane world, everyone would be taken care of,

that would be the center of the system, along with

respect for everyone's individuality and self-expression.

 

 

 

from an outside ("Martian"?) perspective we are all

animals of a species.  To us we are each unique. 

We each have our own experiences, perspectives,

abilities, disabilities, interests, etc.  These make

our human world complex, exciting, inspiring,

worth our time.

 

 

 

Wouldn’t we be better to not inflict gender

until it matters, until puberty, when we have

enough experience of ourselves to figure

out what gender means to us?

 

 

 

which Democrats we elect matters -- vote in

your state's primaries and get active locally

to know who does what and what needs to

be done to get quality candidates

I am so very sorry, but 3rd Party candidates

VERRRRRY rarely win (except in very local elections)

 

 

 

 

instead of spending so much time sniping

and wailing, spend it doing real research

into who these people have been and are;

and better, help to encourage and promote

good candidates with a track record

 

 

 

we need local alternatives to big food,

to big most everything -- we need to take

back our commodities in sensible business

models that work well for everyone

 

 

 

If you burn down the structures on

which our social system exists, rather

than rationally renovating, making

useful change, there would be

nothing on which to create the system

we deserve and desire.

 

 

 

One might think if you believe we all

have a right to life, you would do

better about lethal weapon control.

 

 

 

It’s all too much, too overwhelming.

Break it down to problems you can

manage   OR   find problem[s] you

can solve to exercise those abilities.

 

 

 

You gave your joy away

Left with nothing but the pain

their sadness cut so deeply

you must respond, pour into

cloying need.

 

 

 

Can’t afford needed services?

Tax the rich (that’s where the money is)

End corporate welfare

Stop fossil fuel subsidies

and ...? (continue the list of donors)

fade of Taurus

  

if you don't want to be replaced, do better

in an actual capitalist system the

goods go to the better

 

 

 

the most sacred, intimate areas of human

life ought be outside of the purview of politics

 -- this is who we are well before we get

together for social contract of law and governance

 

 

 

 

maybe if we understood that our personal intimate

lives are not politicians' to decide for us,

that government's role is meant to be about

our social, not personal selves,

and acted accordingly we would

create the governance we actually want and deserve.

 

 

 

all I need do is

find my calm center and stay there

 -- everything else is happenstance.

 

 

 

the party of "government is the problem"

 is destroying the legitimacy of our

institutions from within

 

 

The kind of free speech restrictions

commensurate with sanity – like not

metaphorically shouting “Fire” in a

crowded theater when the only fire

is the one you are hoping to spark.

 

 

 

It bothers me when people say

“nobody is talking about ...” or

“nobody understands” as if “Look

how clever I am to see what nobody

else does” but plenty of people are

talking about, understanding better

than they.  Maybe they don’t know

about those people, all caught up

in their own imagined superiority.

 

 

 

I see the world through a veil of

wounds.  So often scorned, or ignored,

or abused.  So seldom secure enough

to let loose, to feel fine, to feel good.

 

 

 

It shouldn’t be so hard to have our

outrage heard, acknowledged, respected.

We shouldn’t need to be outrageous.

 

 

 

That long, immense trail of experience.

Fragments scattered breathe urgent

tones, flash symphonies.

problematic judgment

 

 

 

A problem needs to be solved,

because it impedes the reaching

of a goal.

A question is a prayer to Curiosity.

 

 

Don’t you see?  They have told us

we have no right to privacy.

They somehow have devised a system

of lies to deny us our most intimate,

basic, sacred lives, to deny any rights

beyond their rule, their peeves and whims.

Cruelty from on high to amuse while they

croon hymns to their chosen God, as if

these harms they sow out of piety.

 

 

What we are by nature is malleable

What we learn to be is less so, imprinted

software.  Yet, we are blessed with

reprogram ability, neuroplasticity.

If only we believe and act accordingly,

imprint on a bliss revealed reality.

 

 

Traumatized people entrapped in panic

may not have the clarity, the rationality,

to make good choices.

That does not mean they have no choice.

It does highlight the problem, the need to

ameliorate the traumatized anxiety,

to offer clarity, rationality, so better choices

can be more easily ascertained.

 

 

Has this Supreme judge read the glorious 9th

Amendment which assures us that rights not

enumerated  in the Constitution belong to the

people and the states.

Abortion is part of the most intimate areas of life

which ought not be in the realm of political control.

We are human beings, natural animals, first,

before we get together to figure out how to live

together under law.

These most personal parts of our life are even

beyond privacy, are how we relate to who we are

outside of social definitions or control

if we are to be human at all.

 

 

 

 

It astounds me how people who claim to

believe in an omnipotent, omniscient god

seem to think said god incapable implementing

its own will, but somehow needs these weak,

ignorant humans to impose it.

 

 

 

For people who work in the political system, of

course their solution is to vote; and it is vitally

important that we do vote for representatives

that actually represent us.

But voting is only our fundamental duty as citizens --

not our entire duty nor our entire recourse.

Of course we vote, intelligently, after actual research

to discover who has the will and ability and values

to act in our interest; and meanwhile we

organize and make ourselves heard.

 

 

 

 

It lately seems to me that the basic GOP is

about a wealthy elite of white "Christian" male

investors who get to lord it above the servant class,

which has become too large for easy control, so

they invent policies to shorten our lives and keep

us down and confused by their manipulations.

 

 

 

 

I have been wondering about our experience of "consciousness"

 

Could that experience be not so much natural to us

as a product of culture?  Could there be cultures in

which people are not so self-embroiled and live within

reality, aware but not aware of being aware?

 

 

 

even more chilling, not only did the Supremes

majority say that abortion isn't in the Constitution,

they said there is no right to privacy in the Constitution

 -- imagine what their nasty little minds are hatching.

 

 

 

we see that there are humans who do terrible

things for reasons that we may not know.  I have

been wondering about human nature and how

we are made to feel while growing up -- if we

could be treating children in ways that would

lead to better outcomes in terms of how

we treat each other.
