The Collective Obligation

'THE OTHER AMERICA'   Conceived: April 2nd, 1866  Gestated: July 15th, 2016   Born: January 6th, 2021    I believe everything that exists,  is in result of everything that was before.   In simple terms, how does the saying go?..  "...what you don't know might kill ya..."  ...if you wish to ignore yesterday's profound actions within Congress, then you are simply doomed to be part of a most predictable event.  On this day of January 6th, 2021, you will experience a most aggressive and shocking moment in our nations history, never before experienced by anyone living on this earth at this moment.     Welcome to___ 'THE OTHER AMERICA'  When a nation comes to the brink of civil war, not many in the fray stop to think: "what are my law of averages here?....based on historical facts, I mean?"    They are blinded by what has been handed down to them by their grandparents, their local politicians, their religious leaders or from the community in which

Will you think of your 'Collective Obligation' this Holiday Season?     Some humans have a limited ability to empathize or express sincere care for others.  I find it tremendously sad how tragic moments and events in our lives: such as war, terrorist attacks, natural disasters or pandemics pull the veil from our lives and reveal the true character of each and every one of us.    Our psychology: our cognitive abilities to empathize or not to empathize is the great equalizer within humankind; the Amobarbital to many who wish these moments of crises creating needs from others, would just go away.     This undeniable reality carries us beyond political parties or what country you live in, what race you are, or what societal demographic in which you reside.  It is an undeniable fact that it is our neurochemistry which dictates each and every one of these aforementioned scenarios.     Empathy is the kryptonite for the selfish at heart, for there is no hiding our true sel

    Perhaps We Should Ask Ourselves:  Why 74 Million Voted For Such A Vile Human Being Or...  let ss ask ourselves:   Why one half of the country felt it wiser to vote for a vile individual than allow a progressive ethos rise from the left_ Perception is everything!          And both sides have failed miserably           While marketing and promoting their product If Democrats do not understand why           The votes were not overwhelmingly theirs           Then they are fools__   If Republicans continue to allow 'Trumpers' or Militia Members'           To do their speaking for them           Then they are fools as well__     Perception is everything__   Your truth has no bearing if the visual          You are unable or refuse to control          Is contrary to your ethos   If you cannot curtail or denounce  The factions who claim your allegiance           on your television sets, your social media, or the press   Or shout:  "This is not who or what we are!"     

  Politics, the Law & Religion Question: What do you call a room full of Lawyers practicing, Grift, Graft and Fraudulent Legal Theater on your tax-dollar ?  Answer: The US Senate  Before every session within chambers, a prayer by an ordained minister, reverend or priest, is shared by all.    Following this moment of holy solitude, these very same individuals proceed to display practices so contrary to what they swore to pursue in holy trust, while they proclaimed their moral obligations before Gods' eyes, as they finished their prayers with a suspect 'amen.'  Perhaps prayers should be removed from the Senate and Congressional chambers.          

 "It is what it is........ " 181,000 avg death toll per year during the Civil War 164,000 deaths from Covid-19 in just 7 months ....  But hey, as one great American said ...“it is what it is”....  

  Democrats fail to condemn the useless violence in Leftist protests, long after the legitimacy of BLM's cause has been noted and received by all ___    ...Hundreds of thousands across THE WORLD shared their pain in the lack of Civil Rights and the absence of Social Justice.   As a lifelong, pacifist, counter-culture, peaceful-protest- civil-disobedience-activist:  I have to SCREAM and ask...   Is this 'Good Trouble,' as the legendary civil rights leader: John Lewis requested of us? Far-left militant groups are killing the cause and I don't hear one Democratic Leader condemn the senseless violence! Good Trouble?   We forget,  that... "Democracy Dies in The Darkness "   In my day we had the Weather Underground, the SLA, The Black Liberation Army, The Red Brigade, Anarchists, and many others who soiled the righteousness of our cause with their choice of terrorizing America and it's government with violence, death and destruction to instill peace and harmo
