A Pretty Little Bow (01-02-07)

At the end of last year the American Public was handed two nicely wrapped packages. One a hero and one a villain. President Ford died. An unelected president whose only major political contribution was the pardon of Nixon. What was it that made him so great? He gets a special day of honor and we’re supposed to revere him. Inwardly we all know that the modern politician is a scoundrel that had to compromise his soul a thousand times over to reach the level he had. So we have in a nice package with a perfect little bow a man presented to us our hero. Next we had the villain Saddam Hussein. He was easy to hate and we laud his execution. Take a certain set of facts omitted by our mental keepers like Kuwait was stealing billions of his oil when he attacked. His crimes against humanity (whatever the hell that is) occurred in his sovereign territory. If he was a tyrant let his victims overthrow him. How did it become our business. Do you know how many laws in the law among nations we had to violate to deal with him? Bush had to violate the constitution to make war upon him. I do not think Saddam was a sweetheart or someone I would want as a leader but the package delivered to me has me suspect because it is so nicely wrapped. Saddam was converting his oil contracts to Euro’s. An act far more serious a weapon of mass destruction than the front story. It was a declaration of economic war worthy of retaliation but spare us all the false drama and tell us the truth. This is the sham behind these mental packages delivered to us by the Governments mouthpiece the “free” press. These packages are part of the epidemic of what we are fed to steer us into oblivion. Why have we so quickly given away the blessing of critical thought? Have we become so addicted to a nice neat packaged life that comfort and convenience are our only judgments left? It is why my detractors here beat the same old drum. People are hurt (owie) punish the villain. We know Dorean is bad the honest press told us. The government even confirmed it by pressing charges. I’ll put away my critical thought and enjoy the pretty little bow. If you study the subject matter you might just gain discernment. I’m reminded of a story that has a good moral for what I’m saying. 20 years ago or so New York garbage workers went on strike. It was a mess! A clever man wrapped all his trash as Christmas presents, since it was that time of the year, and placed it in his back seat of the car. You guessed it! It was stolen. The pretty package you are lusting for might just be full of trash. Perhaps the clever government knows our nature better than we know it ourselves. Isn’t that tragic? Diamonds and pearls, ribbons and curls, oh what a wonderful life.
