National Glory same olde story

from Dr. Benjamin Rush's Plan for a Peace Office


In order more deeply to affect the minds of the citizens
of the United States with the blessings of peace,
by contrasting them with the evils of war,
let the following inscriptions be painted
upon the sign which is placed over the door
of the War Office.
1. An office for butchering the human species.
2. A Widow and Orphan making office.
3. A broken bone making office.
4. A Wooden leg making office.
5. An office for the creating of public and private vices.
6. An office for creating a public debt.
7. An office for creating speculators, stock jobbers, and bankrupts.
8. An office for creating famine.
9. An office for creating pestilential diseases.
10. An office for creating poverty, and the destruction of liberty,
and national happiness.
In the lobby of this office let there be painted
representations of all the common military instruments of death,
also human skulls, broken bones, unburied and putrefying dead bodies,
hospitals crowded with sick and wounded soldiers,
villages on fire, mothers in besieged towns
eating the flesh of their children,
ships sinking in the ocean, rivers dyed with blood,
and extensive plains without a tree or fence, or any object,
but the ruins of deserted farm houses.
Above this group of woeful figures, –
let the following words be inserted,
in red characters to represent human blood,
"NATIONAL GLORY."

from one of We the people

Dear Ralph, Naomi, Wes & Wendell, Oren,
Starhawk, Andy Kimbrell, Bill McKibben
and all the candidates
that the poets, vegetarians,
12 steppers, animal rights activists,
be-all-ogists, echologists, gyn-ecologists,
unions of concerned scientists, 350.org people,
etcetera etcetera
can muster,

We need many independent libertarian candidates
in every one of the 435 congressional districts
so a significant number of "only the rich
can save us" republicans will join in
& create a 7th Generation Party that can:
1) actually elect 10 to 20 or more of us
to the House of Representatives;
2) gradually or suddenly replace the present g o p
turning it into a "3rd party"
(think of many districts
where the incumbent democrat wins big
because the "conservative" vote is split
& "We" come in 2nd);
3) do the education/consciousness-raising/awareness
of co-evolution play that must be done
if we are to bring progress/growth/development
nightmare to a sane
swift
decentralized democracy & justice for all
conclusion

let me put it in the negatives
IF we don't do this in 2010
there's a high probability that team obama
accomplishes nothing of importance
in 2nd two years of a one term presidency
fear mongering republicans return to power
with revenge on their ledged minds
wars continue to feed the war corporations
6th extinction and global storming
not only continue
but accelerate
bacteria and viruses breed and co-evolve
70 times faster than we do
and one or two nasty ones will spread quicker
in starving, weakened, immune-compromised populations
the century of world wars and genocides wasn't pretty
the century of plagues, heating, dessication, flooding
and more genocides will be so much uglier
many will welcome the grim reaper with a sigh of relief
and a 7th Generation Party may never see
the light of day

we have a chance
an opportunity
11 months from now
to change the direction
toward simplicity
less tech
no nukes
planned parenthood
conservation
angeleek's uneek soup kitchen
groove de la groove daycare
dance ur blues away fitness
conflict resolution center
in every neighborhood
sustainable and egalitarian
joy filled living

we the people may not get another chance

sincerely,

thank you ralph

let's try to win
thot our bird was cookt
but it's time to begin

aboriginalists conserve creation

Constitution claims the minds of originalists
link Declaration's language to every word in Bill o Rights
aboriginalists link floundering fathers to the
constitution behind the Constitution too
their hopes for our sustainable non-totalitarian future
in balance with Nature through and through

"laws of Nature and of Nature's God" guide us
not Christ, Mary or Moses, not Lincoln, Blinkin & Nod
not God's Nature, Nature's God!
let's get literal and talk bacteria in the sod
bacteria in each human gut & in the forest floor
it's Gaia and Gaia only knows what each bug is for
we have strayed from laws of Nature splicing genes
and shuffling species cloning clones killing forests
we have defied and lied to Gaia
who keeps winking but must deplore us
do you pause each day to think about shrinking speciation
about great grandchildren gazing on desert desolation
who are we to destroy our ultimate sustenance the Creation

US Constitution, 2nd amendment rights

"A well regulated militia. . . . .

sounds like the national guard to me
necessary to the security of a state free
that's connecticut! that's my free state
not I rock not I ran not paki stan
not the land of the afghan hound
were the opium poppy doth abound
right here in nutmeg yankeeland
is where we have to take our stand
regulate to keep our arms at home
never ever let any irregulars roam
nazi rifle association has heads u know where
can't read Constitution can't really care
about freedom, justice, equality
heads up there it's dark & they just can't see

seems like well regulated militia
surrounds crack house or meth den
asks those inside to make amends
come out hands up & off to the cooler
well regulated militia can't be bribed
regulated means planting trees on the side
regulated means keeping arms locked up
regulated doesn't mean gangs allfuktup
or militias captained by timmy mcveigh
anybody hear what Constitution say?

recycle back to november one

november one having fun
catallactics a way to get it done

life is a loop inside entropy
inside Gaia as creation so much is free

'market christianity'
'constantinian christianity'
simply don't compute
no matter how big the boni we pay the suits

hubris blindness sin sacralige
what's that growing in the back of the fridge?

try giving up TV for 25 years
you'll find that you have fewer fears

snivelization got coined twice
once by melville and once by twain
then again by crumb as i recall
bitchin and moanin the american refrain

another killer progress poem

". . . . an estimated 40 percent of freshwater fishes in South America have not yet been classified.

Scientists were startled in 1980 by the discovery of a tremendous diversity of insects in tropical forests. In one study of just 19 trees in Panama, fully 80 percent of the 1,200 beetle species discovered were previously unknown to science. At least 6 million to 9 million species of arthropods – and possibly more than 30 million – are now thought to dwell in the tropics with only a small fraction currently described."

unknown diversity disappearing fast
you'd think that this'd make our thinking improve
before we crash

but progress/growth/development and g n p
are killers we dare not question
we are slaves not free

enslaved minds can't reach outside TV
medium is the message
don't you see?

now computers interactive
harden the exoskeleton cocoon
many minds r snatched
and soon . . . . . . . . .
