Entrap

"Entrap- to involve in difficulties or distresses; to catch or involve in contradictions."
Blacks law dictionary

"A person is guilty of criminal coercion if, with purpose to unlawfully restrict anothers freedom of action to his detriment, he threatens to; accuse anyone of a criminal offense; or expose any secret tending to subject any person to hatred, contempt or ridicule, or to impair his credit or business repute."
Blacks law dictionary

got that?
obviously as a society we have decided to overlook these
little rules which make life tolerable

on any given day i hear the comment "i got you"
numerous times
why is that?
it is because slowly
culture has been reduced to the scramble of
people engaged in cannibalism
consume your neighbor
business competitor
once friends
whom ever you need to consume to "get your stuff"

  •  Thucydides observations of ancient athens at the time of
Pericles death gives a startlingly familiar account of society turned cannibal

“I am in point of fact,...

 

penis
needed to get that out

awoke after an uneventful nights sleep
except for bishop mike telling me to get out
i will appeal to the pope of course
then off to “the job” 
   i am always welcomed with open arms
everywhere i go
small arms
some art-tillery
grenades such as that
 took an early lunch
signed out and
went to the storage

penis
i needed to get that out

where I picked up my laundry and went
to the launderette 
then to the thrift store next door while
laundry was washing

penis
I needed to get that out

one washer kaput
took an extra 29 minutes

read this bit of wisdom while waiting

“Every form of addiction is bad, no matter
whether the narcotic be alcohol or
morphine or idealism.”  Carl Jung

i am surrounded by addicts
set upon by addicts
hounded by addicts
of every stripe
i wonder why?
  
“ I attack and criticize people myself; I have
no right to expect lenience in return.” Christopher Hitchens

chris is on to something there

the advantage i have is that my views get out there
the disadvantage i have is…my views get out there


i had been thinking about many of the people 
i encounter daily
so many seem to be just trying to survive
struggling not to sink into despair
stressed all the time

and wondered if anyone who
is in a position to help 
has any idea that
people are not guilty of poverty

"...the structure of our brain...is incredibly influenced by our
surrounding. Under stress the brain begins to starve. It
stops creating new cells. The cells it already has retreat inward.

In the councils of government




A little woozy today
must have been something i ate
inside joke

but not to drugged and fatigued to write

listening to the news on the radio again
heard a mom talking about hard times
she did not have enough money to
buy her teen-aged daughters a coat for winter
she started to cry on air
i had to laugh out loud
i just bought a fleece vest for 75 cents
pretty nice, name brand
i wonder if the newly poor people have figured out
how to shop at the yard sales
i guess they will, or be cold this winter
this lady is in houston
i have shopped at a lot of yard sales
and the several flea markets in houston
plenty of good coats for less than 5 bucks
plenty

then I heard about this “well know activist’ who torched
himself
not a building
not a military site
himself
radio said they were not sure what he was protesting
maybe he was cold
I wonder if the girls from houston could
warm themselves on his flames
didn’t know what he was protesting!
should have stayed alive and helped to
pick up some trash
lifetimes worth of work there
some people make a mess
some people clean messes up

listening to butthole surfers now
sort of makes me cynical
library lady said I was stealing music
when I down load it into my computer
i’ll turn myself in to the nearest policeman

politics much in the news
squirmin’ herman k.o.’d
the newtster making enemies in his own camp
read this quote and thought of the newt

“He uses statistics as a drunken man uses a lamp post-
for support rather than illumination.” Andrew Lang

and mitt
what was that ten grand bet thing about
hey, mitt, you look ridiculous if you
think the 99 percent can relate to your
privileged rich up-bringing and life style
and I think mormons aren’t supposed to bet

“We are never made as ridiculous through the qualities
we have as through those we pretend to have.” La Rochefoucauld

check your pockets citizens
just lost a bit of change
did you notice
662 billion bucks for the new defense budget
that’s a lot of education
or a lot of environmental help
are we stupid or what
the only country that wants to invade us has done so
get over it

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic process. We should take nothing for granted.
Dwight D. Eisenhower (1961)

off to the comfort!?

"Very few things happen at the right time,





kind of fatigued today
was purposely kept awake last night
i thought some of my room-mates were snakes
turns out they are worms
honest mistake

 had a 4 bag glass of green tea for breakfast
kept me going
rode the bike today, as yesterday
parked at  "wombat park on the pond"
famous for homo-sexualites apparently
everybody says so
didn't see any.
 lascivious, lewd , lunging
guys licking their lips and lurking.
but i was there to ride the bike
when i returned from the circumnavigation of the
pond yesterday some sad, pathetic shaved headed
ninny did his "desperado assassin act"
pulled back the breach of his imaginary pistol
meant to alarm me
and i was alarmed at how moronic people can be
wow, exciting air pistols! bang, fuckin, bang!

i will admit i might have upset some of the locals
what with my observations of "slap stick village"
corruption?

"We cheat the other guy, and pass the savings on to you."

this is the motto here
it's the bible thumpers that seem to be the worst

listening to "the newtster" being quoted on the radio
"invented people" seems to have upset some folks
the americans are an invented people too
invented from all the peoples of the globe that came here
the mexicans are invented too, from the native tribes and the spanish
and the australians, invented from the people who went there
even the aboriginals, there for 45 thousand  years, came from
north africa, 60 thousand years ago.
we were all invented by way of being from somewhere else
but newt is a historian, he knows that.
he likes to invent too.

i think too many people in this  country are looking for someone else to do
their thinking for them
i found this great simple poem which has bit of genius in it
written by a very smart and funny man.

Yesees and Noees- by Shel Silverstein

"The Yesees said yes to anything
That anyone suggested
The Noees said no to everything
Unless it was proven and tested
So the Yesees all died of much to much
And the Noees all died of fright
But somehow I think the Thinkforyourselfees
All came out alright."








 "Very few things happen at the right time, and the rest do not happen at all;
the conscientious historian will correct these defects."  Herodotus (484-425 BCE)

the best thing about being in a fairly remote spot by the
bayou for a few days is that
there seems to be a distance from you and "society"
it's nice
but even though i had to hold the antenna wire this way and that
to get radio reception i got to listen to "the latest news"

 one thing i asked myself when i kept hearing
all this information about candidate cain was
"what in the hell was that guy thinking about"
where do these republicans get these "auto de fe"
candidates from?

this is certainly becoming "delusional nation"
no matter how i do the math, and i did not use
a calculator, i can't figure out how the current
commander in chief gets to be called "african american"
i'm going to refer to him as barack O'Bama the irish american
president. and i will just as correct as the others.
mixed race is a mis-leading but more correct term.
for some people these terms are "beneath the threshold
of indifference".
but it only adds to the reality of americas capacity to
embrace delusional ideas.

now the "newtster" has claimed the booby prize by default
this fellow certainly has a "fertile mind"
unfortunately when his brain was composting it obviously
left some parts un-digested and so now substantial chunks of
garbage remain intact in his grey matter.
i have done a lot of "janitorial" type work
it is not shameful to do janitorial work, unless you do it
poorly.
but the "newtster" seems to think that one size fits all.
poor people do menial work
wealthy people do...what more substantial work?
hogwash.
 people are more delusional about "employment"
than about any other aspect of their lives.
we do not need more jobs.
we need less people.
 take the work that needs to be done (not non-essential work)
divide it among the people capable of doing it.
 pay for their food. shelter and education.
anything else they may want, let them seek other employment.
until society has re-thunk the employment necessity we will always
have this problem.
i heard this week that if the top 15% of students in china are "exceptional"
then they have more "exceptional" students than usa has students.
that's a lot of brain power.
but there are relatively few american citizens who immigrate to china



 i went to have the ankle inspected by the ankle expert again.
more x-rays, more re-cuperation in store.
as i sat in the waiting room,  i listened to some ladies
speaking about their extreme pleasure in watching the
local university sports team in action.
any team, any sport will about do for the purpose of
illustrating my point.
endorphins, adrenaline induced endorphins.
i don't think sports fans give too much of a damn
about the team, it's the adrenaline addiction that
keeps them going back. rah!
i would like to see an academic study which lists
the bio-chemistry of sports fans before, during and after a game.

when i had been inspected by the ankle doctor i ambled over
to the elevator and pushed the down button.
a woman person came over and got into the elevator with me
she said, in not too cryptic language, "there will be no open windows for you"
uh oh.
girl power has spoken.
i was told some years ago that
"the women are more organized"
a gangster type fellow imparted this information to me in
a foreign nation.
at the time it did not mean much.
but i get his point.
a woman in n.o. told me, without much ceremony, that i would be
"pushed down into the gutter and stepped on".
it didn't mean much to me at the time, but i get the point.
i'm not one much for "joining the club"
not much of a member.
don't have the wardrobe for it really.
i'm not a "colored person"
any color is fine with me.
it has cost me some money to be an "outsider" but
i sleep o.k.

well, i've timed out
got to go
