Subject: BS: What will your world look like if ...
I hear time and again, "be careful what you wish for".

What if corporate power, libertarian and Tea Party prayers are all answered, and the answer is 'yes'?

What if, maybe it's a big and cynical "what if", but what if
the desperate misinformed Americans get everything they wish for? With the help of corporate fascism and unlimited election money all things are 'probable'.

Suppose they get all the abolishment they scream about, suppose they get all the ethnic purity and anti immigrant policies, fences, prisons and military responses they are told we need?



personally I think

A new caste system would form in the blink of an eye. The tea credo of self responsibility would have to demonize and blame the poorest, most diseased and handicapped; they would have to drive a wedge deep into the heart of what was formerly known as social justice. A wheel chair would be a sign of weakness, a disability would be the curse of God unless a secure personal fortune took care of their needs. The thousand points of light would wink out as cahrity grows more feeble. The "trick Al down" would dry up in a drought of cash.


I don't make any claims as the worthiness of the claims that we have no money or even the culpability of those who extracted money by policies of trade, financial corruption and wars.
I think we are beyond the questions of guilt or innocence. Did FDR set up a nanny state that has weakened the human spirit? Was this current financial problem designed to disarm an America that got too close to being a loose cannon of war and torture for oil and profit motives alone. Perhaps its the whim of several families who see themselves as the new Machiavellian owners of a new world order.
I am too isolated from the real power brokers who share the air I breathe to know who or what to blame. So without blame I ask, what if this conservative corporate trend continues unabated.




Personally what do you think?

What would America look like without regulatory agencies that used to hobble free markets, cripple corporations and personal fortunes that dwarf the robber barons and Railroad kings of the gilded age?

What if the only revenue allowed was a national yard sale that earned money from the sale of Yellowstone or Redwood forests.
Suppose the US Post Office is finally privatized after the 2006 law to pay for 75 years of employee benefits in 10 years or be abolished?

Would Municipal water systems like post offices be sold to private corporations which extract profits before whatever sub-standard service is delivered?

Will the hundreds of millions of desperate homeless poor find their destination to be factory prisons when food is too rare for soup kitchens to feed the "needless eaters"?

Take a long cold hard stare at this America. Don't just imagine it impossible , think about it long and hard.

How would the 1st amendment look after religion and state were man handled by the likes of Congressman King or Republican candidate Cain who wants a final solution for Mosques. Will Cain slay Able?

Has history answered my question a thousnad times over?


.
I sincerely ask 'you' ;


What do you see in a world in which all the conservative prayers are granted? What will this world look like?
