When the Revolution?

Rats eating the flesh of a dead woman on a sunny summer day in New Orleans! What? Paris and Nicole are breaking up! It can’t be. Let me see that again. I can’t believe that is happening. That is terrible news.

When the Revolution?

One million to forty million people in the United States will be affected and possibly die from the next flu pandemic! What? The elected “leaders” of the country are not in the hearing room to hear this because they are at home for the holiday lining their pockets with contributions from the homefolk. Don’t worry. The kids are taking good notes and I am sure these “leaders” will read them before they get their shots!

When the Revolution?

Is there any gas left at that pump? Oh, it is only $3.00 a gallon. It might last me a week with the bogus gas mileage I get from the distorted statistics the EPA calculated for the automobile industry. Anyway, I am sure the gas prices will lower substantially once the summer driving season is over and the demand is reduced. Is summer over in October?

When the Revolution?

What a terrible storm that was that hit the gulf coast states and damaged the oil and gas refineries production capabilities. It will really hurt business. What? They made record profits in billions in the last quarter from raising prices without justification. Billions is a lot of money. Then why did our elected “leaders” give them billions in tax credits? For the capitalist system to work, doesn’t every business have to pay taxes and a fair share of them; especially if they are making huge profits from the capitalistic system?

When the Revolution?

Terrorists killing innocent people with vicious weapons make me sick and angry. Wait! I recognize that! Those bombs say U.S. of A. We made those bombs right here in America. Probably the Heartland. And those planes with the computers and tanks and Bradley fighting machines all say U.S. of A. But that’s good for the economy and keeps people working and in jobs. So that must be good for America? Right? Anyway they asked for it because they pretended to have weapons of mass destruction. Once we control them and get them to do what we want, we will rebuild their country with their oil money and they will forget about all their children that accidentally where murdered!

When the Revolution?

Little Johnnie and Mary won’t clam down. The doctor says they have ADD. I put them in front of the TV for four hours a day. Isn’t that suppose to calm them down with the 15 second sound bits of noise thrown at them rapid fire non-stop at a high pitch? The drugs don’t seem to help. It can’t be the foods I feed them because I only give them what they ask for when they see it on TV. They are only a little overweight. Not like the kids down the street. Maybe there is a new drug I can give them. I don’t have time to be bothered with them and need them to be less demanding on my life.

When the Revolution?

Hey did you hear the news? The army is giving away $400.00 signing bonuses to join the Army and serve In the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Is that a lot of money? I did not do too well in school. Don’t the basketball players get a little bigger signing bonus? I think they get maybe a couple hundred thousand dollars for signing to play a game. Probably harder to do that then fight for your country, even if the reason for fighting is made up and a lie. Maybe I should have taken up sports. You know you don’t have to speak to well. Nobody really listens to your words when you play sports anyway because they are always messed up. Yeah, bounce a basketball and make millions. Have lots of girls and parties- fun! And it is easier to do when you have two arms and two legs.

When the Revolution?

Is that another black car? Is that another flag? Is that the taps again? Haven’t we had enough? Why are we killing so many children? They are children you know. Eighteen, Nineteen, twenty years old. They are children you know. You can break them down in boot camp and crush their spirits and emotions and souls. But they are children you know. Hardly had time to discover love. Hardly had time to explore the world of people and cultures and food and music. Hardly had time to be a Dad. Probably never has held their own child. And if they had, how sad for the child left behind. Hardly had time to know his dad or her dad. Hardly had time to feel the strong hands holding them. Hardly had time to play catch or ride a bike or rake the leaves or swim in the pool or eat popcorn at the movies or chase fireflies or snuggle in bed or be comforted when crying. And now the time is gone forever. Haven’t we had enough?
