Growth for the Sake of Progress
There are a lot of questionable professions in America. Certainly the most questionable is that of a Wall Street Broker, a yuppie sitting in an ivory tower buying and selling companies. Never have I really experienced this phenomenon until now. You must be older to have seen some things like your hometown being whored out like a two bit hooker. Oops. What did I mean? I mean at a certain point in life, a particular generation has something to say. This is not new. It was quite a while back when unethical Wall Street brokers began breaking America's balls. Suddenly pensioned long time employees not far from retirement were cast out with nary a thought. Devoted, diligent, loyal employees who had been working at companies for twenty-five years looking forward to a reasonable retirement income were flicked aside with the fickle middle finger of an up-and-coming Wall Street broker. How is it possible that a small faction of wieners somehow became entrusted with the lives of American workers? Who gave these men the right to terminate valuable employment and their pensions so they could make a buck? It is unconscionable that what is purportedly the "Greatest County in the World" has empowered such an undeserving few, Wall Street wieners. Dicks. Pricks. Cocks. Assholes. What kind of Congress could adjust legislation to allow such a peanut gallery, a theater of the absurd, or a pack of entitled trust fund babies to control the economy of America? Hank Paulson? John Snow? What kind of country disrespects here citizens, turns on them, and tries to annihilate them with covert biological weapons, biological weapons that are so obvious that no one seems to notice. The "Bird Flu." "Flynt, Michigan." Chemours. Cancer. There is no need for WMD. They all ready exist in mother nature. All evil has to do is discover and use them. We have been poisoning Americans for decades, probably centuries. Cleaning solvents released into the earth. By products of nuclear energy production. Tailings from chemical plants. Why don't we collect the feces and urine of farm animals and spray it on our crops releasing it into the air for precipitation to carry hundreds of miles. Welcome to "Hog Alley." Welcome to North Carolina, one of the fastest growing states in our union. My question is, "Why do we need to grow?" Adults stop growing. Eventually they have a say. Eventually they get to stop being parents, and if America were operating correctly then they could live the rest of their lives in security, peace, and happiness. That is not the case. North Carolinians in particular are subject to unwanted growth. The last thing I need is new growth, a growth on my back, a growth on my lung, a growth in my liver, or new foreigners in our town. I am not anti-immigration. The majority of immigrants during America's formative years were not Mexican. Probably they were not Asian, while there were some "Coolies" working for plantation owners. At that time these cultures were viewed as inferior and thus subservient. Ouch. "Put them wet backs and Coolies to work!" The history of America is not pretty, and we continue to disguise what really is happening today. It is the same. Why do we need growth, if America still was operating efficiently? She isn't. That is why we need "growth." Growth. Growth is real estate developers coming into long standing North Carolina towns and buying up every available parcel of land. With very little respect for their historical infrastructure, such as Fayetteville, buy up every parcel of land and develop it. Put whatever new thing you see fit there and call it growth. Katrina may be the best example. If its Ninth Ward was destroyed, a low income region populated with ethnicity, why not replace it with LUXURY housing? Let's venture to downtown Fayetteville, a drug-infested, low income, ghetto and build LUXURY condominiums. Yea! Great idea. So has it been for ages. Let's draw an economic line of demarcation so stark and insulting that no community could survive it. Let's build the "Gold Coast," an upper class neighborhood directly adjacent to Savoy Heights. Built a wooden fence to separate the two. Let's build LUXURY housing in New Orleans in a place that once was the home for everyone. Our coast, other than having become a military zone for practice maneuvers, has succumbed to the same ill. Take our formerly down home, rural, and grass roots coast line, a coast line defined culturally by Pat Conroy, and destroy it and build LUXURY townhomes for the rich to visit a few weeks a year. There is something wrong with that, and Eminent Domain created it. That little nugget of W. created legislation not only allows the government to take your property for public use, but allows it to take you property for private enterprise. This legislation is so Socialist, so Communist, it makes Obama look like Mother Teresa. Socialist? Barak Obama was not a Socialist, and those shouting such are thing are the stark raving mad culprits. Looking for the enemy in America, looks at those shouting from atop a soap box. Communism has found its way into America, and it began with W. We do not need to look for terrorism in Iraq. Iraq only was a diversion to keep the American people distracted from Wall Street. My question is, why not build affordable housing? Why does it always have to be LUXURY? I hate luxury, sterile furnishings, stiff fabrics, fake prints, and establishment. If anyone were to take a moment and look at humanity, the human cause, and happiness they will see that the life that has been created in America is the antithesis of instinctual, loving, and thoughtful living. It is shallow, short-sighted, and unfulfilling. That is because the few simple things that we need to by happy are not high dollar, like sterile furnishings, stiff fabrics, take prints, and establishment. The faction has worked long and hard to make us believe these things have value, like an iPhone. The value of commodities. That has been the ruse of Wall Street for the last two decades. Make America think their commodities are valuable and thus devalue things that have real value like music. Is it implausible that these grass roots things, textiles, furniture, crafts, music, and agriculture may once again be understood for their innate value to human beings. Believe me in the near future they will. When hellfire rains down on earth and when solar flares destroy our network of satellites, priorities will be reordered. The physician who bet against the American economy in 2008 all ready knows this, and he has made his choice. Potable water. Take a good hard look at who is polluting our water, and why it may become more valuable in time. Our campaign slogan. "Let's destroy it and sell it to them." I think real estate developers must be the lowest scum on earth. Again my question is, why do we need growth. If our system was working the way it always has been, then we would be in good shape. Then came "Globalization." Wall Street and Bill Clinton sold out the American people for the American people. He got himself elected, and empowered Wall Street to raze America. We will not recover.
