“Ask
not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your
country” – John
F. Kennedy
I’m
pretty sure there’s nothing I can do to unsnarl this
donor lobbyist induced legislative gridlock
What
can I do about BigAg mono-cropping, water waste &
insecticide, fertilizer & antibiotic abuse?
Seems
like a loud majority of us take a real
pride
in our large-scale return to illiteracy and ignorance
What
could I say that would enlighten them as to the
absurdity of using hulking trucks as family cars?
How
might the little guy voice a sane objection to the corpro-sales media
guilt blitz they call $XMAS?
I’m
guessing there’s no real way to focus on long-term sustainability
instead of quarterly GDP figures
There
never will be any genuine discussion regarding our own
excessive
numbers choking the planet
It’s
pretty obvious that both sides have framed the CO2 debate
such that prevention is not an option
Looks
like religion
will always be used to control the poor, milk the rich &
sugarcoat political wars
How
can I preserve habitat for disappearing species
driven away by poor & hungry 3rd World farmers?
I
can’t think of any way to get giant insurers to compete to provide
healthcare to the poor or the sick
No
way can I stop polluting frackers from profitably exporting our sound
bite Energy Independence
The
free market cannot help but demand more of a tasty fish until higher
prices drive it to
extinction
Like
I could really do something that would help stop the lovely
monarch butterfly from disappearing
I
guess the best we can do is put up signs warning our kids to
stay away from polluted lakes & rivers
How
can I change a system Blacks
say has allowed us unconscious
prejudice against them for 300 yrs?
Why
dispute terrorist claims to the One True God given our own
comically-archaic,
franchised faiths?
I’ll
never get any of them off the couch in front the big screen to learn
some vital new job skills
Without
socialism, how can we let others besides developers, drillers &
miners determine our future?
Their
empty addiction to corporate sport wont be affected by some limp
whining by impotent vegans
Ignorant,
lower middle-class whites will always back Conservatives
who openly out them as moochers
You
can’t convince them that Obamacare isn’t some
unconstitutional, socialist government takeover
Just
try and reason with gun-toting ATV drivers hellbent on freedom-riding
all over their public lands
Don’t
bother asking why they don’t plan for, or even talk about, our
looming global water shortage
And
what do you think your letters do compared to anonymous
multi-million dollar corpro donations?
Obesity
is a disability, not the failure of people to learn what to
eat or to how get off their backsides
Obviously,
we must be those who provide Middle
East solutions and not their corrupt desert regimes
It’ll
always be easier to campaign with anonymous innuendos & half
truths than to honestly debate
All
of my recycling, hybrid-driving & locavoring won’t ever amount
to a single coal-fired power plant
We
will remain an entitled, exceptionist people whose leaders can demand
that ‘God
Bless America!’
I
can never even help start to rebuild broken electric, gas,
water, roads, bridges, dams & internet
There’s
no way to rid ourselves of this destructive plague of lifelong
puppet, professional politicians
Yes,
I
fear
each & every regelation directly limits our
personal freedom & leads to a socialist decay
