This Needs To Be Said

Andrew Breitbart has proven again that institutional racism is alive and well in America. His actions have proven, once again that black america need not to play the race card, they don't hold the deck of cards. They are not even involved in the game...spectators, at least in the point of the NAACP. Nope, I'm not calling out a racist, I'm saying this is a machine driven problem. Sure, Breitbart is a minion of the right. He might be a racist, but this is about the opportunity to bring harm to a group by making ONE person the new bogeyman. The system screwed Shirley Sherrod, on both sides. One attacked her and the other side let them have her, she was the sacrificial lamb.







How can you manipulate video and destroy ACORN, be found as a manipulator, but get enough credibility to discredit someone else? Now he has made a woman who had a great parable about racism and how we must rise above our prejudices into a racist. Also made her unemployed. I guess he is a great representation of what the right wants...to kill jobs...if you are a liberal.






But let's be honest, he will see no punishment. The MSM will not investigate to see that his assertion of racism was placed to facilitate an agenda. Did he have the full tape? Even if he didn't, in his eagerness to attack he lost sight of the fact that a person, not a cause, not a group. But in fact a person was demonized and excommunicated so unscrupulously that he announced after her termination, he stated the he did "a celebration in the end zone". He did that because he scored a smear job. A machine attacked a person and many have had the insensitivity to say her "problem" was brought on herself, "we have bigger fish to fry".






Really? When your ass is on the griddle, for no fault of your own, ask how big does the fish have to be for good people to stand up for you?






I watched this and knew, no matter what happens, the powers that be care not for us. It wont need to if we deny our ability and accept the indoctrination of being pawns. We are better than what just happened. If we are the change that we are looking for, we had better not allow this lynching to be just a precursor to the next one. We had better stick a foot so deep in the NAACP ass that they cant speak. The White House must do better than say sorry.






They reacted weakly, but the smear wasn't done by them...we must not allow, condone, or accept anything other than a true investigation of this. No one, whether it be a machine, company, or political party should be allowed to smear anyone they want.






Eric Holder...don't be a coward about race in this one. Find the cancer and remove it.

My Kid Brother...He never played fair!

Here is my brother,standing next to me, I love him to death. He was for many years my wing-man. When we were little he would never die!







Now allow me to explain...cops and robbers, cowboys and indians, and tag was not a fair fight with him. He would get shot, fall and get back up "I wasn't killed". I was furious. Shot with an arrow, fall, and move his mouth and get up..."I ate my spinach". WTF! He would get the family to laugh, while I was ready to body bag his ass. I would scream "YOU CHEATED!" My parents and family would say lighten up! Lighten up! You lighten up, that little motherfucker cheated! You saw it and just ignored it! How can it be ignored! He cheated, he would know the rules, change them to his advantage. That's some bull! How is it possible that I could live in an environment that allows someone to never play in the parameters of the rules.






Fast forward to present day...why am I asking that same question again? Now keep in mind my brother lives in Minnesota, I'm in Illinois. So I'm not discussing him, besides, he was younger than me and cute as a button. He meant no harm. Now, in the present time, harm is intended. Cheating, bullying, misinformation is the norm. Is it cute? Is it something to let slide?






Racial slurs, attacks, and cheating to an extreme that even I found to be tragic. But hey its just the way it is, right? We expect it to happen, right? Is that why one side plays fair then the other cheats, but doesn't get a strap to their ass? What about their fair-play? Nice guys don't get to finish last, they don't get invited to the race.






I have spent a very watchful eye in the past three years. Looking at how much more hostile this country has become. How much more divided we are...again. I remember all my friends, co-workers, and associates jumping for joy as America elected a black president. For me...I was saddened for what was to come. I knew everything that is going on now would occur. I knew there would be an uprising. I knew sides would be taken. I knew damn well I would have to do the same. But you see, I'm more of a conservative than the "conservatives" that I see. So for me this has been a stressed out period of time. I have had my friends slandered, had my latin friends betrayed, by the use of the law. Had friends that I know are struggling in this economy be called welfare kings and queens. Been told that my country isn't my own, I'm just allowed here and the "true patriots" want me and my kind gone.






So, in with this blog I'm announcing that there will be a cold day in hell before I vote for the "patriots" that are the right. I like to play according to the rules. You only want to win.

The South Won The Civil War!


That’s right the south won the civil war…you cant tell? You are mad because they want a Confederate History Month? Why? They won!

One thing that has been a thorn in my side is the lie about slavery. How it “ended”, how it was the reason for the Civil War, and last but not least how the Republicans were the proponents of the Civil Rights bill.


So lets bust the Civil War bubble…it’s the economy, stupid. If you want anymore info pertaining to that…look it up your damn self. I am so tired of hearing how a society that endorsed slavery in the Constitution would go to war to end it. Sure they would, just like every other war was fought for freedom. I still fondly remember how we went to the aid of the Rwandans’ when they were experiencing genocide…oh wait that didn’t happen did it?

Next if you are of the thought that slavery was the reason…results trump your opinion.
The Jim Crow laws were state and local laws in the United States enacted between 1876 and 1965. They mandated de jure racial segregation in all public facilities, with a supposedly "separate but equal" status for black Americans. In reality, this led to treatment and accommodations that were usually inferior to those provided for white Americans, systematizing a number of economic, educational and social disadvantages.


Some examples of Jim Crow laws are the segregation of public schools, public places and public transportation, and the segregation of restrooms and restaurants for whites and blacks. The U.S. military was also segregated. These Jim Crow Laws were separate from the 1800-66 Black Codes, which had also restricted the civil rights and civil liberties of African Americans.


So there is Jim Crow, Black codes, and separate but equal. Does that sound like slavery is gone after the Civil War? Think real hard and get back to me. Take your time…


Now of course there is the feather in the republicans cap about the Civil Rights act. Really? It was the Republicans?

And where did those republicans come from? The South? Hell no! I am so tired of the DAMN lie that the Republicans are for Civil Rights!


It was done this way...
The original House version:
Southern Democrats: 7-87 (7%-93%)
Southern Republicans: 0-10 (0%-100%)
Northern Democrats: 145-9 (94%-6%)
Northern Republicans: 138-24 (85%-15%)


The Senate version:
Northern Democrats: 45-1
Northern Republicans: 27-5
Southern Democrats: 1-20
Southern Republicans: 0-1


Now lets ask, have people migrated so much that those with racist views moved?


Hell no! The voting record clearly shows that the “Dixiecrats” are what we would call now…DINOS…Dems in name only. Now don’t get me wrong, racism is world-wide, so of course there are some in the North…aint Boston still on of the hotbeds. Or should I just say…sundown towns. Sure some will bring up Robert Byrd…he is a KKK member!

Or my favorite, it was the dems that created the KKK…ummmm…you mean six confederate soldiers from Tennessee, right? Here let me help you…Confederate=Republican=South.


They won, because only winners get to keep what they were fighting for.

Drill Baby Drill!


That’s right, there are resources that we are dismissing and its high time that we tap into this very valuable resource. Oil? Nope! Wisdom, experience, knowledge, and understanding.



That’s right people, I am speaking of the demographic that is becoming more and more discounted…elderstatespeople of this world. The group that we have through media, government, and social inconvenience denied ourselves of a vast amount of understanding.






You see for me, I did not see this because for me, my grandfather was a guide to me. He criticized and informed me to be the man that I am. I figured that everyone had that opportunity. Then I started to see things that concerned me, we are letting the resource go by the wayside. I ignored all the symptoms, all the signs. Then I wrote in a blog about what I would do as President, one of my acts would be to turn Social Security over to the people via state run banks with federal bonds as the way to be investment tools. There were many ideas I had, but that one garnered the most attention. But the attention came to me as fear of being thrown to the wind. I have always been of two accords with life and its path. I guess the best way to put it is two quotes from songs that I truly love.






“I believe the children are our are future Teach them well and let them lead the way.”


Greatest Love of All-George Benson.


“As today I know I'm living but tomorrow, could make me the past but that I mustn't fear” As- Stevie Wonder.






It took a long time to reconcile those two quotes, they seem to make one important, while making another dismissive. Now I understand, the teachers for our children are there, hell the teachers for me are here. We as a society and country have for far too long treasured a strong back, a worker bee. We dismiss education as if knowledge and experience isn’t more important. I now know just based on working in management…we need to work smarter, not harder. We need to tap into the resource, not bury it. So I will leave you with wisdom that I will never forget…






“Over the years I have become more of a 21st century socialist, I guess you could say. The common theory is that most
liberal thought and ideology pertains to the younger, naive, college tree hugger, hippy types and that it changes when you get older.
For me it was true. I lost that hippy ideology to the conservative, small government, big national security issues in my late 20's to my early 40's.
I began to get really interested in social issues and how they drive the political landscape though and the older I get, the more I see that
the hippy culture was right to begin with.


Check this thought: Companies pollute the environment and enslave the public to a capitalist run society. We buy their product at a cost to our health, the health of the planet and our freedom from capitalist rule.
You are caught in a conundrum that dictates your every waking minute. From the clock that tells you to get up in the morning, to the car you drive to work, the food you eat, the gas you buy that takes you to a job that you are forced to work just to stay in the system that is rigged against you and stripping away your right to an open and free society.


This is where the socialist movement comes in. It's the banning together of WE THE PEOPLE to form a more perfect union, strive for the things that matter to the public like Social Security, which is basically where THE PEOPLE decided to pool a little bit of everybody's money together for the period in our lives when we get kicked out of that system when we are too old to be enslaved to the capitalist system, and too old, useless and sick to make it anymore. “






“I am still on the Social Security issue. For many a current Social Security check in the mail covers only their bare minimum needs for food, clothing and shelter. You may know of some barely living and struggling on the thinnest margins now. Is it unrealistic to image a very bleak future, with all the woes of poverty for these additional millions of Americans. What about the other federal and state programs providing aid to those in need?


I know, if the can't find bread let them eat cake.”






When I read those quotes I felt pessimism and optimism. But I did learn that the future cant be without a past. We must be students of the past and allow the past to show us the way.

Its Only Called The Serenity Prayer...there is MORE!


God grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.



I just wonder do we know that courage and wisdom are in this prayer? We are so very capable of being serene, able to accept EVERYTHING!






It has become where right is considered utopian. Really? When did righting the wrongs of the world become a utopian vision? When did excellence lose its fight to perfection?






I know I am challenging one of the most commonly used prayers, but in fact, I’m not. I’m challenging the person that prays.






We need to see a brighter light, a glowing and powerful belief that hunger, death, and hopelessness cant go on in our world. Right shouldn’t be what we hope for anymore…it should be the standard…bare minimum.






Someone once told me that right is right even when all that is wrong attacks it. You must be diligent in standing on the side of right. Right doesn’t need your help, it needs your action. It will survive without you practicing what is right. I didn’t believe that until recently, now I know because I see so much wrong. I see the acceptance of it. We have become complacent to the wrongs, we have become slaves to stagnation. We have allowed what is to be and stay, accepting baby steps after we have already learned to walk. I was under the impression that after man learned to walk physically, mentally, and spiritually we could fly!






And fly we should! Lets get the courage by standing together not tear each other apart. Lets show we have wisdom by applying what we know is right and do it…today, tomorrow, and beyond.

Women On Top?



There is one blog I have been avoiding for a very long time, sexism. It has been the hardest thing I have ever tried to write. You see no matter who you are there are certain principles that you just cant escape. For me, being a man, the systemic principles of sexism are obvious. The big problem is knowing that they exist and how do I defeat my own perceptions. Awareness is not just a cute buzzword, its a discipline. I have made it my life’s work to stay a student, never believing that Im a master. Oh sure, there are many men that think they know of the sexist tactics that permeate our planet. But do you? As a man can you pick up on everyone of them? As a man do they directly effect you? Or are we just grasping at straws?



So you got the answers? Or is it male privilege that gives you that superior stance? I have been in the workforce, as a manager for over 20 years and there are things I have seen and heard that to this day makes me want to say...damn we men suck! There are prejudices that move from the obvious to the covert. The obvious, we make more than women, we hold more positions of power than women, and last but not least, we are not all that willing to concede those benefits. That is the covert...we have a very inconvenient truth.


Whether it be suffrage, employment, or political positions, even sexual freedom, we started the race to the top years before women did. Have you ever been the new kid in school? Was it hard to fit in? Hard to be accepted? Well if you magnify that exponentially, that is what it is like to be a woman. Imagine that you cant fit in? Imagine that you aren’t accepted? Imagine, just based on the visual presentation, you are different and treated accordingly. Someone spoke to me the other day about equality being about the freedom of choice, I just wonder, do women truly have that choice? Does the fact that she is a woman deter choices from her?


Of course they do, didn’t she start the race before men? Didn’t she get told what do to with her body, by law. Only a child molester is placed in a position to have laws dictate what he can do with his body. Is there a Roe v Wade for men? I think not.


As for jobs, a male nurse for a long time was laughed at because that is "women's work". It is tragic that a woman is laughed at because she wants to have the freedom of choice to do a "man's job".


I know that many men are thinking as they read this:


I have never discriminated against a woman, so why should I care?


Hey man, that just the way it is, right?


Or my favorite...they ARE inferior to us! Accept it!



For me the answers are obvious, if I or any man want to be equal, truly equal, the system must be challenged!


Equal pay, for equal work, drop the need to remove choices, pay attention to the fact that our society offered them a seat to the table...long after we had made the rules.


Cause whether we like it or not...they bear the burden of climbing a ladder that we are many rungs above.


We as men must bear the burden of knowing that we still must fight daily...not to look down on them.


The system has made even the most empathic man, a sexist feminist.


If you acknowledge their burden, their fight, then join in raging against the machine. Not your guilt, not your apathy, and never your pity will make things right. Just your honesty and discipline.


Be a student, be a man.

We Are All We Have Left

I know that some of you are wondering...what is up with Saynt?







Is he mad? Happy? At peace? Whats with the "hippy shit?" Well, a young lady hurt me. She didn't say anything bad about me. She told me her take on life, her life, I was devastated. I started to ask myself...why do we think like we are so DAMN divided? How can we be so diametrically opposed to each other?






So please...forgive me. The next few blogs I put out will speak to my lack of understanding "misunderstanding". It will address what I truly don't believe...we are not the same. Don't we know that we are only human? Everything else is window dressing.






One last thing before I begin my post...no matter what you believe or believe in...I love and respect you. I don't come in peace, I come seeking it.







What many know but many wont admit...we are NOT in a class war. We are the POW's. We have had our freedoms, education, media, and our ability to be taken from us. They replaced it with political parties, race divisions, religious conflicts and a level of stress that most rabbits hearts would explode if they had to deal with what we have for an hour. There are no countries or continents, just rich and poor. The haves don't control the have nots...we live in a prison that is now of our own creation. We don't love or trust our own neighbors. We are the only thing we have left is each other. The boat we are on is rocky, the waters are fierce, but we are together. Everyday I see more and more that nothing we have cant be taken from us. Of course it can be taken...we have no ownership. We don't own our thoughts, our feelings, or our bodies.






How can you own what you don't have access to growth? We don't have an effective educational system, We don't have effective routes to a healthy diet. Have you look at any news going on...Shock Doctrine is not a book...its one of the tools used on us like you would a science project. We are quick to say what's wrong...that scares me. We come to the table with problems and damn those that have solutions. We have become the silencers of progress that the rich couldn't have possibly imagined would be that easy to design. They feed off of our fear, they know with stress and fear we will never look beyond our own problems. We are so far into problems that apathy is the only reaction we give when someone else is in pain. We compete with our pain. "You think you got problems" has become the knee-jerk reaction to most cries for help.






But don't you think that if you have problems, your fellow brothers share the same pain?






Isn't it a universal thing? Pain that is. Sexual abuse didn't just happen to you. Job loss didn't just happen to you. The loss of a home, business, or a loved one didn't just happen to you. Am I asking for us to have a group cry? No. Am I asking for everyone to get mad like Howard Beale asked in the movie Network? No! We are like minds! Yes we are! We all want to have an opportunity to show that we matter. No matter what skin color, gender, sexual orientation, or even religion we just want one thing...All I Really Want...Is To Be Happy!






Oh sure happiness is different to different people, but happiness carries an universal and absolute rule...






You cannot seek happiness at the expense of others happiness. We cant offer nothing in the expectation of everything. you cant seek riches while making others poor. We cheat far too much...we cherish demolishing victories more than we practice fair competition. Life has become a death sport where its I need to get mine so you had better help me, but when I get mine you had better get yours on your own. We think that we are playing on a level playing field, so "any extra additions of cheating wont hurt". But it is hurting, its hurting your neighbor when you lose sight that he is your brother and love is what we all want. Love and respect is the fundamental premise of what every child is taught on how to treat one another. When did we outgrow our eyes of the inner child? When did we become so pro-ourselves that we have become anti-everyone else? As I have said here already...we are in this together...we had better act as if...because when pain hits one of us...it will eventually come for us all if we don't join together to stop human atrocities. That is what pain is to a person, that is what fear is to a person, that is what hate is to a person. An atrocity.






I leave you with a poem from Pastor Martin Niemöller who I think that is so very timeless and telling...please I hope we can come together and put love into action. If we can do life with love we wont live through this poem.






"THEY CAME FIRST for the Communists,

and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.



THEN THEY CAME for the Jews,

and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.



THEN THEY CAME for the trade unionists,

and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

 
THEN THEY CAME for the Catholics,

and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant.



THEN THEY CAME for me

and by that time no one was left to speak up."




I DONT WANT A CIVIL WAR!

I don’t want a Civil War…I want an UNCIVIL WAR!



YUP! I SAID IT! BRING IT ON! Just maybe this way the South will lose this time! We need to have a UNCIVIL WAR! We need to have all these backward ass people removed, Obama maybe a student of Lincoln…but don’t for a moment forget…HE IS BLACK…HIS WIFE IS BLACK! Stepping to this President…oh wait COMMANDER-IN-FUCKING CHIEF will get some asses smack down! You know he will not be able to ignore once they fire the first shot into the White House screaming NIGGER, that this is all about the fact that HE is the occupant of the presidency!






I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK! That has been the screaming mantra since he became president! But when he skin tone is mentioned…well you know he is only half black…why don’t you ever talk about his white side??? Because you never called him a NIGGER LOVER! Everybody knows this is about race! Those that don’t…it must be nice. I don’t wish to live in your “reality”! I want a knockdown drag out fight


I want the South to rise again! I want the confederate flag to wave proudly! We already know you just cant wait to use your power (guns) against the big scary black man! You need not hide your hate and fear after you start this war! Go for it! Lets have it out once and for all! Use your 2nd amendment rights!






Just know this…the people that you think represent you will not be on your side…they will call you A DOMESTIC TERRORIST! You will not see Sen. Bonehead ask to be a General! You might get a Gen. Palin…good luck with that! Rupert Murdoch will not supply you with ANYTHING! How can he? You stopped watching Fox! You will not get help from the rich…you are the minority! You aren’t in power! The “good” white people will not side with you! They will say to you…treason!


You might get a little help…Russia or China MIGHT sell you some guns or ammo. But you wont take it…they are COMMIE PINKOS, right? Bring your militia, bring your guns, bring your freedom of assembly. Obama will use the Patriot Act on your ass like Hoover abused power on the Black Panthers!






You want to secede, please announce the states that you want! Obama will be happy to give it to you! Hell you can even name it Reaganland! Bush can come back and be your leader! You want a fight…please! You will not defeat the side that has the White House! You cant win, not like you did in the first one.

God Status


You know I have had this thought about a part of our everyday life…God Status!


I know what you are thinking…ooh cute buzz words…you can put it on a t-shirt…sell bumper stickers…
You can even put it out as a perfume…God Status…made for the bastards that just don’t give a fuck about anyone but themselves…by Calvin Klein.






Easy to explain…when you have reached a level of power…given by those that have power. You are able to transcend shortcomings or obstacles that most just can’t. It is a historically known phenomenon. We even have a cute saying for those that do it…breaking the glass ceiling. Well for those that look at it from the other side…it’s a big fucking deadbolt locked double enforced steel door.






Poor people look at it that way, they know better. I have many friends that are conservative that when I listen to their take on the rich, they have the same point of view that my friends that are liberal…






Its not what you know…its who you know. So I guess in essence…we have many similarities. We acknowledge the Gods.






Now I know many people are saying…Roger Ailes isn’t a god. George Soros isn’t a god…Warren Buffett…Rupert Murdoch…Bill Gates…they aren’t gods Saynt. Really?






They aren’t? They don’t have enough power to make a mayor, Governor, Senator, or a President?






They don’t have the power to decide my life and yours? They don’t give you what they want to give you and you damn well best like it. Don’t believe me…ask the right about the health care reform…they are ready to start killing people for their gods. I know…I know…we are doing it for the cause and how things effect me. Effect you is exactly what gods do. Is the effect positive or negative? Have they done what you like or done what they want and we co-sign on it? Hell even the left is saying…its not what we want…but it’s a start…really? Wasn’t Medicare a start? Start to donut holes, not covering or protecting the elderly properly.






You know what is bad about having a lot of money…nothing. You know what’s wrong, many with money are doing wrong. They dictate both political parties, they control our government, own our media.
Above all they have the ability to make God Status…we are seeking that so much that we don’t see the harm in being culpable in the wrongs that they do. We can be middle management of a insurance company and sign off on a man or woman that is begging for health care. Sorry, you might die, but I have a summer home and mistress to protect. You lost your house in a fire…well as middle management I must deny the money…we found a glitch in your contract…besides refusing you gets me a bonus. You got Cancer? I'm sorry about that, but you need to give up that house or you cant afford the needed measures to combat the disease.






I think above all else that is the great tragedy is that we suffer in our positions of God status...we are so fear driven to our moment of loss that we ignore the pain of others. We are so disconnected that we buy things to fill humane voids in our lives and spirits.






We have so many disconnects that we think that inspiration(also known as advertising and marketing) is being connected. Safety and security is how we can be connected, love put into action is how we can be connected. I was always told that good results makes good feelings. Accomplishments are the greatest! Saving one another is how we can be connected! Being consistent in our actions of love is how we can be connected! We allow what happens to the least of us that the Gods would smite us all if it happen to them!






Now lets look at Gods…you need how many BILLIONS! Here you go. You need better tax credits…oh you are a God…here you go. 92 percent is far too damn high! How can you stay Gods if we aren’t going to tithe?






If there is to be a playing field…damn leveled…we need an invite! What kind of world that we live in that we need an invite to what we constantly proclaim…anything is possible! Anything has become possible money and how much you have…makes you a God.






God has damned us all…we still give them praise…and our all...just so we can be invited...


To what we call "heaven".

I am an Earthling!


I am a man, I am a black man, I am a 40 something year-old black man, I am a Chicago raised 40 something year-old black man, I am a Christian faith, 40 something year old black man…ok you get where I am coming from. I carry with me many different labels of expression or division.




But what I have not forgotten…no matter what I do, no matter where I go, or who I am…before anything…I am an earthling! Whether I belong to any organization, any group, no matter how big or small…



I am a citizen of this planet! All that is done, good or bad, is done on earth. With that knowledge, I have to accept that there is a responsibility of servitude to mother Earth. That’s right I said servitude! There is a level of honesty that needs to be validated, all that you or I do is being done on and to mother Earth.



I belong to the Earth! That’s right, she has more of a quantifiable ownership of me than my own biological mother, she is my giver and care taker. So, if we are servants of Earth. How is our performance? Would we get a good review? Would we, based on performance get a raise or a promotion? Would she fire us? Have we served the Earth as well as she has served us?



I look around and see a lot of good servants and I just wonder…does the bad outweigh the good? Or is it so much easier to take a step in the wrong direction than it is to be steadfast in our path of what is in the best interest of us all? Are we so much in love with our religion, political party, materials, or even ourselves that we have shown a disdainful hate for the earth? When we love “security” or “quality of life” more than we love the planet, are we being good servants?



Now of course, I like many others look at the Neo-conservationist and just question their stance, but I just wonder did they go to far to one side because we have move too far to the other side? Have we forgotten that we live here on earth? Have we forgotten that the planet has existed long before us? Do we understand that it can sustain its existence without us?



What if there is an end game?



We are sucking off of it, not the other way around. We need the planet far more than it needs us. We survive on its gifts, are we appreciative of those gifts? Will it matter if we have every electrical toy ever made, every car you could ever want to drive, or more money than you can ever spend if the earth “calls in our markers?”



Environmental issues have become political fodder, can you compromise with the planet? Are there credits of life that you can buy if the planet says “I cant sustain your quality of life”. How much is enough before we have nothing to go on…900 MILLION PEOPLE DON’T HAVE CLEAN DRINK WATER! HUNGER IS NOW TO SOME OF US A REASON TO PUT OUT A SONG!



I have a few cute buzz words in my head…results are the only quantifiers of action. So can we afford the results if its “game over”? Can we buy our way out of a loss of oxygen or water? Can we find a cheat code for doing what we claim is in “our best interest?” Do we even know what that is anymore?



If you can say that hey we have all that we need or want, this is not the post for you. If you don’t think this way, I ask, have we not heard the human alarm call? Why are we hitting the snooze button?



More importantly…do you really think if we started to act to make air and water clean that we are saving earth? Or are we saving our damn selves? Save the humans…Not save the planet.
