To what - is the great question of the day.
There seems to be a undercurrent going down. Obama is being targeted. McCain is losing steam. Obama is "hiding things" - McCain is "being snippy" Even Rush is stating that Obama might be hiding his true identity - reasons being that an Obama presidency will bring back the fairness doctrine, killing his business. That is much more of a legit concern.
But, folks - I tell you this much. 8 days - and nearly two years of campaigning, and they still will not talk about the big, blinding bloody light staring down at us.
Im talking about the wars. The damage has been done. For Good or Ill. The sad thing about this is that nobody wants to talk about it any more.
I have a feeling that this war didn't really start for oil. 9/11 was one of the major causes we started this. But the other major cause is something that went LONG before 9/11 started.
When I was in high school - I got the sense that most of the friends I knew were doing things that were beyond the pale. (4Chan has NOTHING, and I MEAN NOTHING on what really when down in George Washington High back in 1997 - 1999.) I also got the sense that there was a second undercurrent - a semi-fascistic and almost psychological racism building. Even though I was taught to respect and even like other people of different colors, when put into action - it always came back to the same split dichotomy.
A old man once told me that "you young people know that your more split than it was back then" I thought it was more of a "get out my lawn" moment - but then looking at it more closely it wasn't. Lunch was split between those that had and those that havent - the races, the goths and the preps. As much as the adults tried and tried to promote multicultural ideology - the more split we became.
And something festered. It started to grow - then what came out of that festering was Bush - was it that the country was scared of things that were out of there control? Then 9/11 happened and there began humanities great travail into a place where nothing is real and everything and word is used as a ploy for control.
This festering is now out of control. But its on the other side now. And these two festering sides are pulling the mass - no - the individual man or woman in to one side of the argument - for the promise of security, freedom to express, freedom to think and so on.
Well, I saw both sides. There nothing more than feuding brothers or sisters being taken for fools by those they want to become, the rich, the powerful - the soulless minions who would steal the hard earn work from there hands and kill them in sight if they had a chance for there betterment.
There is a reason why Gossip Girl succeeds - sure its pretty people with problems - but its a look at the future holders of the estate of the United States, while the story of the Ghettos remains untold - only through the eyes of old women who no ideas and no power. The men who have the will to live, were not given to freedom to live - the freedom to be men - and the only way they could have the two point five kids, the pretty wife and the nice house - was to spend millions of dollars for schooling - all to get back minimal wage work for the next 15 years. And yet the schooling sucks because they dont educate you (Unless in a Art school or a Tech school or something close to that) they indoctrinate you with all sorts of ideas that go against your own SOUL and own SELFHOOD. Go and see Temple University or How About Yuppie-Town, (Seattle) Washington where they talk about Obama as the new hope - BUT HAVE NEVER EVER BEFORE TALKED TO ANYBODY OUTSIDE of there "liberal" culture.
Who then is more dangerous? Answer - were in deep trouble regardless.
For me, until things change voting isn't going to change a damn thing. Im still black. Im still stuck in a town (for the time being) that is nearing lockdown mode because of the issues with the cops, Im still single, the job isn't paying enough - I like this one person but dont know how to approach her - or even if I should try - I still want things but dont have the money for it - I worry about Iraq all the time, Im still disgusted on how Jessie was treated by Customs over in New York (all in the name of protecting the CORPORATIONS? IS THAT YOUR EXCUSE NOW TSA? YOU HAVE SO MANY TERRORISTS WAITING IN THE WINGS WAITING TO STRIKE FROM (SOME) MEXICANS THAT GO UP HERE NOT TO WORK BUT TO HURT MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, TO THOSE WHO WANT TO KILL US (BUT WE CANT MENTION THEM BY NAME) BUT YOU GO AFTER A ARTIST OVER COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT? WTF IS THAT FOR?) and this election never talked about the issues.
We will have tough times ahead. We cant run away from them. Are we going to at least learn to talk just a few words to each other or are we gonna shoot first and ask questions later? No Obama speech is gonna change the mind of a woman who only cares about the "Lord". No McCain speech will change the mind of the yuppies over at Seattle or NYC - We are more split than we ever realized.
All because every damn adult tried for all of us to get along.
Well, fancy that - It failed.
Maybe the adults should have taken the advice of there perverted uncles.
The only way anybody ever got together, was in bed.
And that why my friends,
We will become the people that refused to live.
