My follow-up to WAR!!!

[Mythsaje]

I'm serious about Class Warfare. I imagine most of you are aware of this by now. I think this whole game called "American Dream" is rigged from start to finish.

Someone tell me WHY it's growing increasingly important to go to the best preschools in order to assure the (allegedly) BEST education in college? I heard this and the first thing that popped into my mind was "Are you shitting me?!"

:WTF:

Okay. We've been told ALL our lives that hard work and dedication and paying "your dues" would give you a comfortable life. And it will. As long as you're not downsized, blacklisted, drug-tested, off-shored, partially disabled, mentally ill, physically ill, transgendered, gay, young, old, or the wrong color, religion, or gender or otherwised SCREWED.

What American Dream again?

Pay rent, mortgage, car-insurance, utilies, phone, cable, internet, car payments, car insurance, any OTHER kind of insurance, taxes, fees, and commissions. Work all day at a boring, strenuous, hectic, frustrating, demeaning, and far too low paying job, working for a boss who's abrasive, condescending, sexist, racist, controlling, or bitter, then come home and worry and fret about bills, rent, mortgage, the kids at school, the news, little Johnny's braces, football gear, baseball gear, soccer gear, class projects, school supplies, school clothes, play clothes, the right pair of sneakers, haircuts, broken appliances, a fender bender, the crazy neighbor, God (or life and death or the existence or absence of an afterlife) and THEN what?

Do it all over again tomorrow.

And the greedy and grasping? They have to worry about protecting their property, their children, their land, their stocks, their dividends, their public image, the skeletons in the closet, and who said what about whom?

Or I'd imagine.

I don't want THEIR problems, but I would sure as hell like to have fewer of MINE.

If you know what I mean.

I think John Edwards gets it. I really do. I declared for him about two weeks ago and I'm sticking to it. I think he's got what it takes and the will to do the right thing. I also know Kucinich gets it, but John's the only person, near as I can tell, near enough to the goal at this point to make a difference in the campaign positioning of the other candidates. Obama is starting to address this issue, which can only be good.

It's time for the "little guy" to have a voice. For humanity's sake, for our future, for everything we are.

Or else we're going to simply be standing by while these fuckers destroy everything and cry out "What happened?!"

As if they didn't know.
