Big Darkness Soon Come
The Bush family reeks of fraud and bad karma. But even worse than our wretched, gibbling president are the cowardly whores in Hollywood who are currently smearing film stars and music people like Johnny Depp by calling them unpatriotic Americans who righteously question the wisdom of invading a whole nation of Islam -- 1.8 billion worshipers -- which is a dangerously stupid idea. Disagreeing with Donald Rumsfeld about bombing anybody who gets in our way is not a crime in this country. It is a wise and honorable idea that George Washington and Benjamin Franklin risked their lives for. These thieves in the White House are so crazy with greed and power, and they are causing so much drastic damage to the world we live in, that they are the ones who should be put on trial for treason.
Hunter S. Thompson
----------
There is no more perfect phrase for the psychological climate in America than "fear and loathing". That phrase is from the fevered genius of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson and all rightful credit is his. That is an ugly but neccessary preamble in this land of litigation and hustle and profit at all cost., etc. but things like that must be said or risk be taken down by the snarling dogs of legal recourse. Regardless, and all apologies aside, let the point be made: America is lost and searching. Despite the trumpeting of the tired nonsense that America is great, and sound, and will return to its brief and sparkling glory. The brutal point and ugly truth is that America has lost its way... America is no longer America. When every dollar that is spent to annihalate our "enemies" is equally invested in trying to coexist peacefully...when other cultures are respected and embraced and thought of as important and not just strange and different and in need of Americanizing....when lying and deceipt lose their currency...and when depth of spirit is as valued as depth of bank accounts... Maybe then the promise of the original concept will have a chance of being realized. The world is watching...and loathing.

"America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards." -- Claire Wolfe, "101 Things to Do 'Til the Revolution" (1999)
"The time has come , the walrus said, to talk of many things...."
Where is Lewis Carroll when you need him? We are officially down the rabbit hole now and many things remain left untalked about, aside from cabbages and kings. More along the line of cabbage-headed would-be kings...which sounds more the realm of Rudyard Kipling, who's contribution is welcome and sorely needed in this instant cabal of sorts.
Today, as I gathered up the roadkill from my wild ride along the information superhighway, I stumbled upon a new jewel of a word --kakistocracy--. If your immediate jeopardic response is "what is government in khaki pants, Alex?"...you, like me, would be only slightly wrong. It is BAD government in khaki pants. Not just bad, but government by the most unsuitable and unscrupulous people. And though there is no mention of khaki pants, I can only assume that detail is taken for granted.
kak�is�toc�ra�cy
plural: kak�is�toc�ra�cies noun.
bad government: government by the most unscrupulous or unsuitable people, or a state governed by such people
(Early 19th century. From Greek kakistos "worst" + -cracy.) Thesaurus *
kak*is*toc*ra*cy
Pronunciation: (kak"u-stok'ru-sE), [key]
n.,
pl. -cies.
government by the worst persons; a form of government in which the worst persons are in power.
kak�is�toc�ra�cy
Noun.
Inflected forms: pl. kak�is�toc�ra�cies
Government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens.
Etymology: Greek kakistos, worst, superlative of kakos, bad; see caco- + -cracy.
The American Heritage� Dictionary
So, now it is established, we are living in a kakistocracy.
What to do? What to do? What to do?... Wait, shouldn't that be a representative kakistocracy? We will have to look into that, but that still leaves us wondering what to do about it? We are governed by the most unsuitable and unscrupulous people. A true dilemma.
As luck would have it, my careening through the ether also netted the claim by Soviet authorities that they had encountered the lair of a Yeti, referenced as a "wigwam". Now, all architectural possibilities aside, this struck me as a bonanza for those concerned souls in their desperate attempt to overcome the bottleneck in the political genepool. It may offer us our only hope of breaking free of our self-imposed, blind-alley
kakistocracy.

Actually:
I believe in the doctrine of non-violence as a weapon of the weak.
I believe in the doctrine of non-violence as a weapon of the strongest.
I believe that a man is the strongest soldier for daring to die unarmed.

Tranquility and Bliss-
...and in the immortal words of
Ashley Walker
I have come a long way to talk with you
I have come a long way
over the rambling road through cemeteries.
I have held the ancient rock,
and seen the graveyard flowers grow
with acrid roots in blood and bone
so splendid in the deadman's home
with the shadows of the shadowmen
in shadow gardens and shadow glens,
arriving At your door to say
there is a place where we can gather
And that place is here. That place
is here.
