Oil Barons

When faced with the daunting prospect of creating new jobs, why is it every one in the nation is dumbfounded? Being “green” seems to be the logical answer, but it is difficult to buy into a “green” campaign when it has been launched by the same companies that created the problem. Likewise it has been difficult to buy into the current political campaign, because the majority of America’s problems in the last eight years have been created by the President. “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.” That has been the popular adage. Hypocrisy is a strong emotion, and as our emotions should do, it jolts us into a sense of reality. Without these jolts it could be human beings would just wander the earth like lost sheep. Animals have emotions too, and they can be extrapolated as their instincts. While their brains may be small, their hearts are big and this has allowed them to flourish for thousands of years. Somehow in the last decade the reason of emotion and instinct has been put asunder. Traditional emotions that have been unwavering for centuries suddenly changed rendering America a new frontier for the bleak of heart. The emotions that defined humanity, mainly love, were poisoned by a myriad of resources. How can it be that the very foundation of our artistic system was rendered impotent in such a short time frame? Everything the human being has thought about, felt, and stood for throughout history has changed, or has it? Maybe Americans really are not the fish out of water at all. Maybe the principles America has lived by since her birth still stand, and someone or some thing has attempted to change the rules. Maybe globalization diluted the American landscape so drastically we lost our roots. You would hope Americans would be bellyaching. You would hope good Americans full of Americanism would have been pacing their hallways, bursting at their seems, and yearning for a familiar playing field. Weren’t all the things we used to do as Americans substantial? Were we destined to talk on miniature microwave ovens? Were we destined to have three remote controls for the TV? Were our vehicles destined to have PC’s that communicate with the Department of Motor Vehicles. They are just cars, and they were built to serve us. How is it most products being sold today are the opposite? They seem to be being built to serve the manufacturer, the merchant, or the red tape. OBDll test? Thankfully with the recent downturn in availability of credit, the fundamentals of American life are resurfacing. Americans once again are standing face to face with survival, and we as a country are up for the task of succeeding. It is what we have done for over 200 years. It is not fair a passé of elite, wealthy, oil barons came in and changed the game.
