I am naive about the way humans treat each others in this INFORMATION past industrial age..not to mention being an URBAN farmer living in a Southern city .
Most of us do not know how to communicate well without the F and M F rich vocabilary of profanity.Add to this the racial divide among whites,blacks,moslems,christians and you name it.People here in the South are so much addicted to UNDER the influences whether racial or halucinational ones...you name them!
Excuse my naivity ,and try to explain to me so I can understand , why we here in this 21st century regime change facebook revolutions and demionstrations :why we feel dormant and timid here in the heart of DEMOCRACY country We invade other countries with bombs to teach them a lesson in democracy ??.What is the point? It is not the ecconomy stupid! Its we stupified ,nullifed,and pacified by the ecconomy .
WE are losing our jobs,homes,cars,farms,lands (soon our minds)to the banks and we go and deny it all and point the finger at a dictator like kadafi or Hussein and let the programmed TV audience be distracted rather than demonstrating against the local evils done to their lives and homes.
While Americans are now being thrown into the streets as homeless by our own banks and partners ,politicians etc We still go to wqars to preac Democrady by FIRE."To whom are you reading your psalms , David?" The bible asks!..
What matters most?Being rational or racial?Being one will negate the other..You choose!You can not be both and stay mentally stable!
Some prefer to be financially stable rather than mentally..Thats why we are here!End of venting!
I want to talk about peiople who put on masks and hide their intentions and identities to inflict pain emotionally and racially on others and go by the traditions of sifting people by being defining them as either gentiles or jews.Blacks or whites.Immigrants or citizens ...and so forth ...This is exactly what happened in Germany during the THIRD REICH...First they went after the JEWS.Then they went after the GYPSIES.Then they went after the Comminist and the homosexuals ...and by the time it was XY turn ...no one was left to HELP.
Here is another ficticious scenario ."They started with the Moslems, then the Latinos and immigrants ...next the Christian radicals ..then the you name it radicals.. bY THE TIME they WILL come to GET you,,,nobody will beLEFT to HELP you.JUST SAYING A FICTITIOUS SCENARIO..IT HAPPENED ONLY IN A DREAM!!
So keep on feeding the racial profiling beast...by the time it will reach you...no one will be left to help you.
"why we feel dormant and timid here in the heart of DEMOCRACY?"
This is the heart of it all, right here. Unfortunately at some base level, as a society, we are not functioning in a way that allows for peace and prosperity. Too often the answers drawn up by our policymakers are acts of war. Too often are divisions sewn between those who have a common interest. I agree with everything you said, but I have no idea how to answer that question.
