The Untreated Disease of Capitalism
Russia hacking the election just fell out of the news, just like every other trumped up topic. Real news reporting during the days of Ted Koppel, Dan Rather, and Harry Reasoner are gone. Edward R. Murrow has left America en route for Canada with the other Hollywood "stars." Current news reporting suffers from the same ills as the rest of the American population. ADD. ADD fell out of the news, just like every other trumped up topic, although it wasn't. The things in this world that are and have been real are ignored. Reality is reality TV, fiction, graphic, violent, and unChristian. The feeling of Christianity no longer is possible it seems from the exertion placed upon it by life. Modern life. Modern life in America is a shallow puddle, a humiliated anxious cesspool of anger, disappointment, and resentment. The man he is again me. (that in the black slave colloquialism of Mark Twain means, "Against me." The man he is again me, and I don't think I'll make it through. Trump is trying. I feel it is a good SCOTIS pick. His Secretary of Education, and this is speaking from someone with a Bachelor's degree in Music Education, is a misstep. Hopefully her vetting process will cut through the muck. Muckraker. Moonraker. Faker. Midnight shaker. Education has been a joke for two decades. Although I see the manifestations of poor public education daily and metaphorically as American life, I have no interest in battling "the man." The man he is again me, not going to give me what I'm due. Johnny Depp has fourteen homes, and he is a mediocre actor. Don't get me wrong. I like some of his characters. No actor deserves fourteen homes, and if they have them they are imprudent and influenced by drug and alcohol abuse. The mortgage payments on fourteen homes could amount to two million dollars a day. Who in their right mind ever could conceive they could support such a habit? A few hookers (Charlie Sheen). A few bails of spleef (Willie Nelson). Cuban cigars (?) Moderate needs. Who possibly could want what most American CEO's and celebrities have? The answer is those suffering from the disease of Capitalism, a fatal socioeconomic system which has ruined America. Stop. Backtrack. Capitalism has not ruined America. Poor public education has.
