Cheney

7 July 13

I think of Cheney, he never had control over his heart , it always failed him and to those men like him,,,political men, ,, legacy is everything.

 What they leave behind, their name on a park or a road,, is all important, they leave their scent, their mark, their name  on a public place so we all can see it and think of them, that is what they leave behind, an ancient and primal act.

Cheney and others  with the help of technology have thrown our country in a battle, an internal battle to see which way the country will go... Will we become a true democracy, as Egypt is trying to do now, embroiled in her own civil war?

control vs. freedom, it all boils down to that,,, be it disguised by the words patriotism or religion,,, it is still control vs. freedom.

It is our  duty to speak out when things go awry, written in our constitution,, DUTY,,,, or shall we let those supposedly in power rule us and the world with this data mining technology, drones and so much more, all invasive tactics,, such as millimeter wave and back scatter camera to find you and harass you and rule and  destroy your life at their will, to be a targeted individual? 

How shall we cope? 

What will be our choices, a controlled state or  a true democracy,,, WE THE PEOPLE are powerful when we realize we have the power. We can control this, fight this, never give up. We have no choice. It is control or freedom,,, like the press,they are censored or not,,, no middle road,,,,, you are free or not.

Cheney's legacy mixed with an anal control is a dangerous state, it does not sound good, does it?

de Tocqueville stated in Democracy in America about the Universality of man, meaning ALL men.

 The control is to point  the universality of men in ONE direction, with patriotism, or religion as the control factor.  We see the great control  religion has given us in the Muslim world as a perfect example today. The indoctrination does not brook questions. Stifling Education, destroying schools, and the schoolchildren out of great enormous fear of those questions. They do this in the name of god/religion and it moves men in one direction.

2. Patriotism was used as we see in WW2 in Germany,, The Fatherland,,, and today in the US as in The Homeland,, I hate both terms leaving ash in my mouth as I speak them. 

Blind Patriotism, and blind religion two of the greatest controls on the tribe, be it a little tribe or a big tribe.

I add fear as the third control....as in 9/11, as in Anthrax, etc.

 This man Cheney who has lived with the great fear of his heart giving out, clawing is the right word,,hanging onto his life with everything hes got. Fear of death is always with us as we saw our primal brothers and sisters eaten by the beasts in ancient times. We grieved and invented heaven to help us get through that grief. The only great and lasting truth is death, because there ain't no heaven and their ain't no hell or afterlife as much as we wish it, no afterlife to give us solace.  We only have us. Cheney has faced his mortality for most of his life warping his personality.

This life here is all we've got, so make the most of it, choose wisely and why not the right choice rather than the wrong choice. The choice is up to us, a word of kindness rather than a slap.

Don't give in to our base nature, the Victorians knew about it and warned their young men and women about it.

 We as Americans ignore It and sweep it under the rug or so easily give in to it. 

I know this police state is heading for an all controlling state and is considered "right" but for whom?

 For the elite or for the people, for the corporation or for the country,  for democracy or a despotic state?

 We have much to think about.

Hard questions anyone can and must answer.
