The State Of Humanity: Shards Of A Rant

Most folks, anymore, can't walk

and chew gum at the same time,

unless someone tells them to.

"Sheeple" is an honorific term for

those who could, possibly, wake 

up, though even that is becoming

an anachronism

In Japan, they have a word for those

that work themselves to death. That's

because there are so many of them.

USAmericans don't have such a word,

because they don't even notice it's

happening.

Many Americans, having worked a job

for forty years and more, find, when they

retire, they have no interests, or any clue

what to do, how to live. Is there a word for

that? "Coryism" might apply.

Seeing the presidential candidates on 

stage, both parties (except Trump),

to me, they look like meat hanging from

hooks in a locker, only, not as fresh. 

Tighten your blindfolds a bit more, and

wait to hear the order to fire.

Bush set the standards low. Obama is

even lower, though, he looked higher.

He was just better at the job: lying to

the American people. Now, we can smell 

the smoking gun.

There are still beautiful places on the 

earth...I live in one. But Moloch, as

Ginsberg said, has taken control and

looks unstoppable, (not that I'm trying

to make you lose your taste for GMO).

It seems few really want to see or hear

the truth, even as the truth closes in...

even as it becomes even more 

inescapable; so much for the myth of

freedom.

Perry's Black Ships sailed from the land

of the Black Death, from the Dark Ages,

into the harbor of the land of the rising

sun. What did they bring to trade except

spiritual blackness?

Christianity, the first Scientology, Paul,

the first L.Ron Hubbard; an invented

religion, (though, Islam may have been

the first of those). Christianity, always

just a business, a voracious killing and

plundering machine, (as an institution,

I mean).

We shouldn't worry about "aliens" taking

over our planet. The aliens have to worry

about us getting off of it.

Then, in the Twentieth Century, religion

began to lose it's luster. It was replaced 

by empiricism, (scientific materialism)

which filled the void with more void...the

barbarism just changing masks.

That is all.....for now.
