Dear World,

This is the kind of thing I am talking about!!!!!!! It is so far beyond tragic I don't know what to say. It's like, here's the bad news, but there's no way to fix it, or at least we know that our tax money isn't going to go to looking into ways to fix this kind of thing. But research about that would be a much better way to spend our military budget than spending it on militarism for militarism's sake and war for the war profiteers' sake. Just my opinion. I'm going to go shoot myself now.

Dear World,

Fantastic news!!! The Bush Crime Family is Going Down. Yeeeeee-haw!!! Ok, now that I'm done gloating, I must say that it's a little scary thinking about what will happen after. I mean that what if we elect enough Democrats in '06 to get a little balance back in our checks, but the Dems are as lame as ever and no one is willing to address the really most serious issues and we just keep on being majorly lame. I mean there are a lot of little things the Democrats might do which will make a difference overall, but until we change some really big things I don't think we're going to have any hope of saving our planet from assured doom! I will explain what I mean.

First of all, corporations. They are ruling our world so much that we hardly even think about it anymore. How many times have I heard that such-and-such a good thing can't happen because "it might interfere with corporate profits"???? and I have read things about claims that open space and parks and wetlands interfere with potential corporate profits and therefore must be eliminated. Pretty soon, if we can make it that long without killing the planet (i.e. OUR FUCKING LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) we'll have corporations just mowing down entire communties and banning things such as bartering and used clothing or book stores and giving things away for free, because those things interfere with potential corporate profits.

Ok so really above all else corporations need to be fucking reigned in before they have any more of this reign of terror. Remove their personhood!!! I saw this movie called The Corporation based on the book The Corporation which everyone should read because it's very scary and MUCH MORE revealing than even I expected it to be!!! OK enough about that.

Beyond that I think we need to really just plain look at reality and face the fact that we are killing our planet and not just a hundred years from now, but right now. Right this very minute now. We need to STOP IT. I think God needs to talk to someone in a bush or on a hill and issue a divine proclamation that from here on out, we cannot do anything that harms the planet in any way. And that we have an obligation to make HEALING our planet our number one priority in all things. And then healing the spirit. Which means investing not only in green things and health care and infrastructure and blah blah blah, but in ART and MUSIC and LITERATURE for everyone. and free time and recreation and tight-knit communities.

I hate living here in this time and knowing what we're doing and feeling so fucking helpless. What really boggles my brain is that I was just a kid when I learned about ecosystems, and I went to not so great a public school when I first was learning that stuff. So everyone should know it. Everything in nature is linked and needs everything else. And we can't kill all the green things and still have oxygen to breathe. For example. It is horrible that we are not only razing the planet but literally killing our oceans. And of course melting the ice caps etc. Maybe some idiots can go on thinking that humans have nothing to do with Global Warming, but there's no way getting around the fact that we are the only things polluting and killing the oceans. Not only are the oceans totally poisoned, but there are huge sections of them floating around that are literally DEAD. Meaning there's no oxygen in the water and so any fish or plant that goes into those places will die. So nothing lives. Oh I am so mad and sad about it all It's insane.

So this is why I must qualify my elation over the Bush Crime Family Going Down!!! I want them to go down and I want Democrats to take over but I don't know if it's going to be enough to save us and our fellow creatures. Kurt Vonnegut (my hero!!!) believes that the planet's immune system is trying to get rid of the plague called the human race, and I think that makes sense. He says the only responsible thing for us to do is stop reproducing. I would add to that, that if we MUST reproduce we should at least all inter-breed so we can start eliminating racism. Bad enough killing our entire planet without being racist bigots on top of it. Anyway I think we need an absolutely enormous shift in consciousness and although I see small signs of that happening here and there we're nowhere close to the hundredth monkey of it. So I think even if we start acting like sane people again (were we ever sane, though? Not sure) it might not be enough. Which makes me very very sad.

Dad says all we can do is keep "fighting the good fight." I wonder if that has some universal meaning or if it means something different to everyone? Because that could lead to us all just fighting each other. Anyway I think he means we all just do what we can in our own little ways and maybe that will be enough and maybe it won't, but since it's all we can do, there's no sense freaking out about everything we're impotent about. I can sort of see the logic in that, but at the same time where's the motivation to do anything if it seems like really it's not going to make a difference because it's not enough and nothing is enough? Has there been a time in history yet when things really shifted hugely and enormously in terms of consciousness? In a good way? It seems to me that we humans think we're awfully great but actually we are the one weak link in this amazing thing we call life. We're the one part that doesn't fit in with everything else and doesn't have a way of keeping in balance with itself or the rest of Network Earth.

There's more I have to say about Network Earth but this is turning into a really long rant and actually I meant to talk about something else entirely here so I'm not going to go on with my thoughts for now. What I was originally going to talk about was that I saw the guy I lost my virginity to in high school, in a video clip on Amazon.com. I'm not going to tell you which one he is because that might interfere with his privacy. If you know enough about me and where I was living at the time of said virginity loss, you can probably figure it out. He looks a bit different. I haven't seen him in, like, years. We were not actually dating. As far as I know now, he has a Really Serious Girlfriend. But I have heard things and I have a sneaking suspicion that he's planning to become President someday (if our planet can survive that long with us on it!!!!!!) and I want to make sure he remembers who I am because I would like to become the Official White House Go-Go Dancer. It's my #1 Best Ever Totally Way Out Of This World Dream Job!!!!
