Our sick country and planet is exactly like a sick body
Our sick country and planet is exactly like a sick body

*****************************************************************
The problem is there aren't any doctors or hospitals -- there's just us.

Yep, just you and me folks; that's all we've got.

We don't even have a political party any more. Dem "centrist" types like the Hillary Clinton doll (wind 'er up and she turns into James Carville) and Judas Joe Lieberman are more part of the sickness than the cure.

But so what else is new? How many times have you helped your health by consulting "establishment medicine"? Jeez, hospitals are where you go to die, not get your health and life back. Let's face it, we really aren't that far away from when "doctors" bled you to death with leeches which is almost an exact analogy for what the DLC (Democratic "Leadership" Committee) is doing to an authentic progressive/liberal party. There's more spine in the back of a book than our samo, samo dem "representatives" (what a laugh!).

So, the buck stops with you and the buck stops we me. WE are the conscience and brains of America. Who else? What else? The fairy tale is over. America is a Dictatorship of the Rich and Bush/Republicans are reincarnations of the German 3rd Reich and psycho religious fanatics just can't wait for the Baptist Big Bang and the neocon cabal has taken American foreign policy hostage and they are treasonous ly indifferent to the well being and national security of the United States of America.

This isn't to discount 2006, but 2006 HASN'T BEEN FOLLOWED THROUGH. We busted out butts to give Congress back to the dem clowns, but it all ended in a whimper, not a bang. Sure, we have some cooking committees, but everything they do they do IN SPITE OF the gutless dem majority.

We should make some plastic masks that all look like George Bush and force the DLC traitor enablers to wear them to work -- assuming they really do any "work", since how hard can it be to monkey see, monkey do the worst president in American history?. Georgie Porgie is walking mindlessness and so are his DLC clones.

So, the cancer, the sickness, the pathology remains and it's literally killing America and the planet Earth.

So here's the inevitable chasm, the inevitable quantum jump. How do we "take charge" of this mess? How do we save America from fascist pugs and religious nut cases? And most of all, how do we stop being cattle in a Dictatorship of the Rich? God in heaven, aren't you tired of cleaning the commodes of America's Greek God like elites? Aren't you tired of being ground under the heel the one percent in this blatant Class War?

If the answer is yes to any of these questions, the morale seems to be we have to find "extra political" ways to transcend (for the lack of a better word) the Democratic Party (which has ceased to exist).

Third political parties, maybe, but we need more muscle than that. It's time to say f___ you to candy ass politics and find non traditional, hard ball ways to save ourselves.

Hey, it works in "alternative medicine" (the court of last resort), so it's time to start working with "alternative politics". And what's alternative politics? Well, it ain't being polite! And it ain't establishment democrats.

A cliché phrase comes to mind: when the going gets tough (and a dying country and planet meets that criteria), the tough get going, i.e., the VERY tough get going.

Politics has degenerated into a pissing contest. We've got to do whatever it takes to save our children, planet, and country from these psycho pigs.

People who rise to ultimate health challenges literally recover from cancer and degenerative diseases. Not to see that the body politic of America is in intensive care is not to see the sun.

Viva America!

1. Problem is, we're the disease
It's more of an infestation than an illness.

2. True, but we're also an intelligent and self-aware disease.
We can heal these problems if we come together.

It's scary as hell but also very interesting watching the Earth try to heal herself. I think we can learn from Mother Nature, she is wise.

A nice way to put it since my confidence in Mother Nature is limitless.

4. per Agent Smith of Matrix fame: we are a virus
we invade a host and devour it, leaving nothing behind.

It seems to be the way we're wired. "Some say"(sic) we evolved from apes, but the common Cold may be our real ancestor. :sarcasm:
