alright..i’ll be the first to admit i have a long way to go…
one of many to come....in the yard that is
figuring out the ins and outs of this. It is unlike many other Blog sites I have seen. I’ll either conquer it to my satisfaction or blow up my computer with household chemical agents.
was it last friday? i believe so, the day a twisting storm rolled over my county, more bells and whistles here than rain…except for the wind. it came down into my corn patch and wiped out several good stalks..leaving a sort of hole i the middle. i salvaged and straightened the one not snapped. a few days later, as i stood in the midst of the damaged area, as i straightend up stalks and packed soil around their base with my bare feet, then weeded and discarded those that were snapped, i felt like a Bob Dylan or Woody Guthrie so. Dylan’s ‘working class #2′ ran through my head. This garden is not my support. But it does represent my hands, the dirt and sweat, the food i set out to grow as a small, small part of a desire to become more and more self-sufficent. it’s not my first and probally not my last. Just last year, the production from it saw bounty and enough to share and put away for the coming winter. the corn, squash, tomatoes, beans, along with the sunflowers given to the birds after the heads of the flowers are so huge they bow…breaking them in half and raking its seeds off to ground for the birds and squirrels to have something to put away for the upcoming darkness.
i recalled Wendell Berry stories. I recalled John Mellencamp’s song “Scarecrow”. The country, the world–it doesnt matter what your means for living happens to be–when the overall economy cause loss–whether that farm that was lost to the bank foreclosing in Mellencamp’s song or the struggle of a small town trying to maintain a local economy and self-sufficent nature as Wendell Berry produces by each pop of his old type-writer….if you are a auto worker in Detroit, or a fry cook or an independent buisness person—-losing is the same as that farmer losing his legacy to foreclosure. If you work at a grocery store, you have probally watched the shifting of prices, purchases, and the faces of people wondering what will they do. When the oil companies paint $4.00 a gallon for gasoline on the signs-then boast of their record profits–it hits all of us….whether you are a musician, writer, artist, factory worker, what ever…it will hit in the long run. when food costs rise due to transportation costs, fertilizer more than doubling from last year, fuel and maintanace of equipment…..it is the snowball rolling downhill. it picks up more and more snow, increasing in size, along with grabbing everything else loose in it’s path….when it comes to a stop–it just doesnt stop—it explodes and the debris it has gathered digs in hard as more damage is done.
Let me tell you, get over it now–Obama, Hillary or John are not going to save you. In fact they will not even make a difference….unless your taxes increase to feed the machine. Demo’s are known for their “tax and spend” nature..Republicans? Hell, who can tell the difference anymore. Do we all go join the American-Communist Party? How about the American-Nazi Party? There are so many folks to vote for, pick one because it won’t do you anygood when it comes down to two parties. I am…errrr…..strange? or have thought to be an extremist, a threat, whatever..because I support a Republic form of government and not the Democracy we have been brainwashed into what people think Amerika is supposed to be. Yes I WILL TELL YOU UP FRONT I SUPPORT, THEN AND NOW—RON PAUL. He is not a ought and paid for, in the click puppet. I’d vote for a dead prick before Hillary or Obama ever got a checkmark from me. I am a Constitutionalist, a libertarian, one who easily could vite for the candidate The American Taxpayer Party is running. ‘W’ is not the worst president this country has ever seen but he ranks in the top 5..perhaps 3. Al Gore is a moron. The more I see Hillary, the more sympathy I have for Bill as an individual. We all should chip in and get him a hooker if he runs out of girlfriends…Bill Clinton, at last count has signed more executive orders tha any other president in history. The Bushes probally are running close. Executive Orders are nothing more than a end run around the elected reps and senators. Call it what you will…and I guess you still think there is nothing smelly in the JFK assaination. Lyndon B. Johnson, was probally the worst president in my life, close to Jimmy Carter..perhaps they were dead even. Johnson shifted us into an undeclared war right here in the states-pitting citizens against one another, meanwhile while our boys were played as clay pigeons in south-east asia. Carter gave away the Panama Canal, he removed us from the gold standard in his Federal reserve act bill he signed….yes, the U.S. governemnt has been counterfiting since 78′..deal with it….and you wonder why inflation………….ah hell….never mind…..”turn me loose and set me free; somewhere in the middle of Montana”..as Merle Haggard said. So you now are convinced i am u-patriotic….have you been paying attention? I am one of the most patriot people you will find..I cant helpt it if the governemnt and the leaders are not. They are globalist pigs. There is nothing soverign to them and their homeland. The United States of America is run my global corperations and foreign money. Fly your flag upside down. Support seccession in your state/ Demand that NAFTA/GATT and affiliation with the WTO be blown away. Lock down the borders. Stop our asskissing to Israel….after all, 9/11 never would have happened if not for that and all the other shin-digs in the mid-east.
Call in the dogs, piss on the fire. the hunt is over.
