"Niggerization is the result of oppression-..."

copyright Bootlegcircus@blogspot.com


folks are getting preyed upon
did you notice
the banks
the landlords
everybody wants to burn the poor people

i think the usa forgot to look at the triage aspect
of our war effort
priorities ya know

i have been hearing about becoming a citizen in the usa
if you sign up for the military
you get a good shot of being allowed to stay

four dollars and thirty one cents american dollars
or fifty seven mexican pesos
that is the 2011 legal minimum wage in mexico
per day
i looked it up

it seems to me that if mexico were to get some
legitimate help from the usa
like maybe help rooting out violent gangsters
that would be a very fine country to be in
i would like to spend some time there
all the beaches are tropical beaches
the mountains are nice
the people are nice
but the damned violence
no
hell no

so if you enlisted the persons from mexico
who are here
to join the military
and agree to return to mexico
to fight for their country
it might make the place livable
those other countries where we have
spent so much time and money
are not our neighbor
we are in a hell of a fix now
but not too late to help
mexico and ourselves

canada seems to be o k

i was listening some of the current ideas
coming from the candidates for the
commander
in chief
job
not really very inspiring
michell obama seems to have the only
sustainable plan
exercise
organic gardening
can not hardly go wrong with that

candidate
mmit robbed-me
has
right answers
wrong questions

the thin man
has
got to stay the course

better stay with
michell's husband

" The thirsty of soul..."

copyright Bootlegcircus@blogspot.com

vote for me and
i will set you free
remember those lyrics
do not believe it

got sent to a job today
kind of surprised me
got there
did not want me
drove 11 miles
used too much of
my gas
multi million dollar companies
both ends
sending and receiving
i have about 60 bucks
but i had to spend my money
for nothing

so i looked up the companies online
and i have the ceo e-mails
and i will ask them if they might
want to try to
bring the worker
into the picture

remember us

one website says they have 7881 temp
agencies listed
and every one making money
who in the hell are these people
these octopuses

i wonder if the re-pubic-lan
candidate for president
has ever considered the worker

ever

this rich fellow seems like
ronald reagan
on estrogen
and
the high priest of money

 i went to the library and learned
one million and sixty two thousand
people came into the usa
last year
legally
to stay
which is about average
and
they will have offspring
and their offspring
will have offspring
eventually we will be like china
too many people
too little wilderness

i say we trade people
for every person that enters
one leaves

i see where mac crystal the
military guy wants everyone to
serve this country
and he says you can opt for
civil work
cleaning parks and stuff
for $15,000 a year
or military but not fighting
for $15,000 a year
or go for the gusto
and be on the trigger team
and get paid much better
and everyone gets free college

sounds good to me

"The thirsty of soul soon learn to know
The moistureless froth of the social show,
The vulgar sham of the pompous feast
Where the heaviest purse is the highest priest;
The organized charity, scrimped and iced,
In the name of the cautious, statistical Christ.
                            John Boyle O'Reilly

welcome to the employment circus
its all politics

"There is no such thing as the State..."

Copyright Bootlegcircus@Blogspot.com

spent the fourth day of july outside
and also the third and the fifth
did some reading and writing and
listening and looking
 swatting at some bugs
and welcoming others

thought about what some people
call
serving their country
and the different ways folks do that

read this article on
w w one
what they call the great war
and how some historians view it today

"It may be that no one can write military history
 without the language of mandarin euphemism;
when Shelby Foote writes of 'hard fighting' on
Stonewall Jacksons flank, or Strachan of  a
'sanguinary engagement', it requires a determined
mental act to recall that what happened was not an
entry on a tally sheet but a violent death of a human
being, loved and cared for by a mother and a father,
and full of hope and possibility, torn apart by lead
balls or shreds of sharp metal, his intestines hanging
open, or his mouth coughing blood, in a last paroxysm
 of pain and fear. And then to recall that any justification
 for a war has to be justification for this reality. Any other
 calculation about German militarism or the possible fate
 of French colonies has to incorporate this image into its
 nucleus and accept it as justified."
        Adam Gopnik  "The Big One"  New Yorker -8/23/04

i thought it was a pretty vivid
account of considerations which are
seldom thought about when someone says
we support our troops

i guess you can support troops
but not support war

or can you

"There is no such thing as the State
And no one exists alone;
Hunger allows no choice
To the citizen or the police;
We must love one another or die."
  Wystan Hugh Auden
