There is a earthen dam 5 miles away from where I live downstream.
When the dam began to leak badly and the national media turned its eye
on the sad shape it was in, I went to look for myself.

No one else I knew went to look or study elevation maps.
They just swallowed whatever the media was told to say by the groups
who had the most at stake for their careers and bank accounts.

The economic dam for the country and world is washing away and
precious few people are going to look for themselves. Instead they
just swallowed whatever conservative stew was served them for the
last 20 years. The stew had a policy of no regulation, no cops, no
courts, no midnight watchmen and people bought and ate it since they
got a sugar high that was intoxicating
.
The stew was seasoned with family values, trust in God, patriotism,
a undieing loyalty to the Republican party and a vast new police state
security over the citizens of America.

Now we all have food poisoning to some degree and many people will
die, but not CEOs. Not the neocons. The rest of us will have some
pretty chilling bouts of vomiting in times to come. Yet while most
of us will suffer, some people who swallowed the most and will have
the most to lose will swear to thier last dieing gurgling gasp that
the stew was good. they will say it was those who critisized the
stew that made them sick.

Folks, its only stew. IT was made by people like me and you.
The cooks crafted its flavor and presentation for one reason. Profit.
The culture of corruption set a nice table but there were rats in the kitchen
and fleas on the rats.


The next stew that is now being prepared by Barack Obama will be for
mere survival. There will be new standards for cleanliness that
will be hard for some people to accept but we need to learn about the
new economic sanitation policy and enforce the rules.

Dinner may be meager and we will have to clean our plates but it
will be wholesome and home made. Be wary of any new stew in a colorful
can ythat might contain gotchulism, socialism or a new super capitalism.

We will bless what food there is no matter how little there is that
it be as pure and simple as possible.

Like my mom used to say, you should eat to live, not live to eat.

bon appetite, and make sure everyone washes their hands,
especially the billionaires.
