There Is No Reason, And The Truth Is Plain To See

(noon – promoted by Nightprowlkitty)

The truth is plain to see. It doesn’t happen quite so much here, but all across the blogosphere people sit in front of their computers all day and argue about which national political party is “better”. Which one is more likely to give the people what they want.

On the “left” blogs people talk about one party being tools of multinational corporations and the ultra rich, and say the other party is somehow “better” because it promises “hope” for the future somewhat in the same way religion promises salvation in some heaven, but only after death and only if you’ll “believe” (clap) hard enough, and don’t ask questions.

On the “right” blogs people talk about one party being tools of evil socialists and sex fiends and dopers who hate “freedom”, and say the other party is somehow “better” because it promises “freedom” someday in the future somewhat in the same way religion promises salvation in some heaven, but only after death and only if you’ll “believe” (clap) hard enough, don’t ask questions, and kill anyone who gets in your way.

The truth is plain to see. Big money did not take over any one party at all. Big money took over politics and the media so they could carry on happily while people unwittingly play their game by choosing between between coke or pepsi – and like a Vegas casino, the house always wins in the long run. Always.

There is no ‘reason’. This is not a ‘reasonable’ choice, and it is not ‘reasonable’ to get sucked into making it.

We skipped the light Fandango

Turned cartwheels ‘cross the floor

I was feeling kind of seasick

But the crowd called out for more

The room was humming harder

As the ceiling flew away

When we called out for another drink

The waiter brought a tray

And so it was that later

As the Miller told his tale

That her face, at first just ghostly

Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said there is no reason

And the truth is plain to see


As I wandered through my playing cards

And I would not let her be

One of the sixteen vestal virgins

Who were leaving for the coast

And although my eyes were open

They might just as well’ve been closed

And so it was that later

As the Miller told his tale

That her face, at first just ghostly

Turned a whiter shade of pale

    Forget the parties and the politicians and their hype-rs.

    Follow the leader:

  1.  Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around.

    Henry David Thoreau, (1817 – 1862) American Author

  2. “The place to improve the world is first in one’s own heart and head and hands, and then work outward from there.”

    – Robert M. Pirsig (Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values)

  3. as the poor ship labored on through the endless blue, uh hoo uh hoo, uh hoo.

    We’re going ’round in circles.

    mentioned that one Democratic poll recently taken suggested that most Dems do not see a difference between the parties and it doesn’t make a difference who we vote for.  So I do believe the ordinary good soul out there – and the ones that do not have the time or inclination to read blogs – feel the same as we do.  People know something is wrong – and they are in pain right now.
