Thread Name: BS: Obama's Truth Team (join me!)
Subject: RE: BS: Obama's Truth Team (join me!)
To all the glib souls here who imagine something as ridiculous as that I should have a PLAN to deal with the political mess in the USA...LOL!...I repost this post I made to Bobert on the same subject....a post which you either never read or have convenienly forgotten.

And I shall post it again and yet again whenever one of you silly sods starts asking me what my PLAN (or solution) is.

Here it is (again):

Now, why the heck would you think I have a solution for the most gigantic problems of our time????????? You gotta be kidding. I am not Superman, Bobert.

I am someone who is pointing to a huge storm that is coming, and I'm saying to other people, "Hey, folks, there is a storm coming!" You think I have a solution for that storm?????

Get real.

I might turn your own question back on you and say, "What is YOUR solution, Bobert?"

;-)

See what I mean? It's laughable to think that people such as you and I can come up with a solution for the political-financial-military mess that is present day America in the 21st Century.

There are things that could be done..."your realistic plan for getting there"....but if I were to enunciate any of those, someone like yourself or Ebbie will simply post and say something like:

"...solutions that in literal fact will not happen" Like I said.

In other words, you're not actually ready to listen to anything that WOULD substantially change the sytem, because you don't think it's possible to do things like that.

Which means: you actually agree with me that people like us CAN'T really do anything about the basic situation...but in the meantime, you'd like to make yourself feel better by just doing a little re-arranging of the deck chairs on the Titanic...just so you can feel like good little progressives who are out there "doing something".

Well, that won't work. It won't affect the underlying and most basic issues of our time.

You are akin to a chicken flapping its wings in the face of an approaching hurricane, while peremptorily asking me (another chicken)..."What is your plan for stopping this hurricane?"

Like I said...Get real. You and I cannot stop this hurricane. We can only hope to ride it out, and make something good out of our own lives during the short time we have here. We are like the plebes in the dying Roman Empire. They couldn't stop what was happening any more than we can...but they could find love in their lives, find good relationships, and do something beautiful in their own lives, and that is what I am spending most of my time doing.

I just talk here because it's fun...it allows me to express who I am...and it can be interesting.

It is NOT going to change the fate of the American Empire. And I know it.
