I'm Mad as Hell, and I'm Not Gonna Take It Anymore.
Green Man: The American political system and government is rotten to the core. Both parties (Democrats and Republicans) are offshoots from the same diseased tree of corruption. The corporations run Washington D.C., so the average citizen has about as much influence on our politicians as a dead man. Our government has long since stopped helping people in turn for exploiting us for their financial gain.
This is done through giving themselves obscene pay raises and tax cuts that they extend to corrupt business bosses who help prop up their incestuous circle of corruption. To ensure their graft continues, they raid our pensions, social security and investments through shady business practices; and when it all comes crashing down, guess who gets to pay the biggest and most painful price--we, the American people. We don't have offshore bank accounts busting with ill-gotten gains. Nor do we have the power that they wield to affect change. Before his untimely death, the Howard Beale of today, George Carlin, saw this con-job coming well before most people:
Therefore, I am officially embracing the Green Party as my only refuge in this crumbling cesspool that we call "America the beautiful." I know that the Green Party can't and probably won't be able to change anything because of the rigged political system, which chokes off any opposition to the two-party, stranglehold on power. But, it's as much a protest action as anything else. I am tired of selling-out my integrity for a morsel of hope that one of the two diseased parties will change their vile behavior. Therefore, I'm taking refuge within a party that at least has integrity. I'd rather support a political party that doesn't win, yet has integrity, than choose one that makes me feel like I need to take a shower after seeing the way they govern upon voting for them.
In the meantime, I'm gearing up for the chaos that is unfolding in America. I have a feeling that it's about to completely come apart at the seems to explode into a new revolution and/or civil war. My hope is that I can band together with a small group of like-minded people and right out the turmoil in the wilderness. And, if the turmoil never ends, at least I'll die out in nature, than inside the cold, toxic, places of our cancerous, cities.
Well done. I have heard these rumblings from others. The next election will be interesting, wherever it leads into the disaster of the future. I've chosen the Working Families Party of New York, but if they back Obama, I might also vote Green instead. BTW: Thanks for seeking the artist for Cernunnos. I will send my thanks for that beautiful image into the unknown. Puny
Is an atheistic, bisexual, male, Social Democrat exploring his ancestral roots of European Paganism. His primary belief system is Zen Buddhism. However, this blog will be about his various Pagan, Neo-Pagan and Earth Based spirituality beliefs. He is an amateur herbalist and an aspiring shaman. His Pagan beliefs are rooted in the Earth--that which he can touch, feel, smell and taste. He doesn't believe in the literal belief of gods and other mythological beings. Rather he sees them as archetypes to help enrich his personal spiritual journey.
Green Man also writes about the mundane, politics and lifestyle stories. And even a bit of sexuality from time to time. He is most at home in the woods and is a tireless defender of Mother Earth. As this blog is only open to a few people in my personal life, I ask those people to keep my privacy. This is a place for me to fully be myself - please don't ruin that for me. Please grant me the privacy that I would accord you. Thank-you for your respect. I'm often slow on replying to comments but I usually get to them all eventually. Thanks for reading!!
