Reading this made me go and read
this...
I don't know how I am doing it, but I have managed to feel a brand new emotion in these last 8 years. It is equal parts rage, apathy, terror, and excitement. I'm feeling very "r.a.t.e." right now at this point in history, but in reality, I think I am more excited to be living in these trying times for the very fact that they are trying.
I chose my username to express that I am Fruity because I'm so gay I can change a $9 bill with 3's, and Nutty because I think our whole "system of valuation," per se the global paradigm under which we all exist, is totally screwy and should be scrapped ASAP for something more akin to "universal view" or philosophy, if you will, of Star Trek: TNG...
A couple of things... I know I'm really going off topic here tangentially, but bear with me... Check out the National Geographic series Guns, Germs & Steel (or read the book upon which the series is based) and then read the Shock Doctrine by Naomi Kline, mix in a bong hit and some jazz and tell me
not why there are haves and have-nots, but why we are putting up with a system that perpetuates this enslavement. Just because there always "has been" doesn't mean there always "has to be."
The Econmony, the Police State, the Climate is all going to get
a lot worse before it gets better, or so I keep hearing "it's going to get better"... But what exactly is better? A return to the 80's? the 90's? the 50's? No, what we need is a fundamental change in our world view akin to going from cave-dwelling shamen to being people who truly understand the implications of the duality of Light. Obama is beating the right instrument, Change, but he is playing the wrong tune to my ears; alas he still has my vote.
Of course after writing all of this and posting my views to this forum, I most likely have been branded a terrorist on someone's list somewhere.
Actually I'm okay with that... At least I am a gay terrorist, and my weapons are massively fabulous...
kisses,
F&N
