Imploding

Our nation is imploding, and most are blind to the facts, or electing to ignore what their eyes cannot digest.

Continuing the Bush era tax cuts will cost $900 billions dollars over the the next two years, think of all the health care that money could buy. How many more shoes can the wealthy fit in a closet, how many more steaks in their bellies?

We are in decline, our education funded by property taxes and lotto tickets rather than a budget. A basic standard of health care is denied to many. The Republicans screamed about a budget deficit, now their shady underside fully exposed. The USA rates number one in one intangible only: egotism even as the propaganda churns and churns, feeding the masses, those who haven't a clue what they are missing, accepting instead a third world standard of living.

Prediction and Literature

Today's early morning headlines report: Oil From Spill Is Reported to Have Reached the Coast. New York Times

From Margaret Atwood’s The Year of the Flood, pg 197.

“Please join me now in a Meditation on our Fish brethren: … We hold in our minds the Great Dead Zone in the Gulf of Mexico; and the Great Dead Zone in Lake Erie; and the Great Dead Zone in the Black Sea; and the desolate Grand Banks of Newfoundland, where the Cod once abounded; and the Great Barrier Reef, now dying and bleaching white and breaking apart.”

How can we, the human species, be so pathetically stupid, and greedy and shortsighted?

Love that Gray!

It's official, from The New York Times, Young Trendsetters Streak Their Hair With Gray. Well, forget the young, but it is all natural and way cool, with 1950's eyeglasses, the real McCoy.
"Women warming to the arctic look are streaking, tipping or bleaching their hair in tones from Warhol white to Brillo steel." Whippeee!
