Have you ever wondered whether it's true what they say...



About the tacit consent of the governed.

The Reason Greens Do Not Matter

I mean, don't get me wrong, I don't want to demean the dedication and the courage of those people—good honest and responsible citizens (US citizens and Earth Citizens alike), humans with a conscience, each and everyone of them...



And Virginia Kennedy's open letter to Obama is a telling and moving account of where the movement is standing, right now.

But nobody cares—not the media, not the corporatist political elite, and not much of the people in America really.

And here are the reasons why:

1. THIS:

You guys are not members of the Tea Party—and so anything you may have to say, any protest you may stage, simply doesn't exist in so far as the corporate News media are concerned. It's not news, unless they say it's news, right? Besides all the pundits knows you guys are just a bunch of well-meaning but deluded fringe lunatics who don't understand anything to the realities of the world we live in. Furthermore the number of people taking Global Warming seriously has decreased by a whopping 15% [Gallup poll], ever since Obama took office (I wonder why?)

2. AND THIS:

I give you Daniel J. Weiss, a senior fellow with the liberal Center for American Progress Action Fund, and Tony Cani, the Sierra Group’s national political director...



I rest my case.

Where else are they going to go, right?

Obama doesn't have a credibility problem; the Green movement has a credibility problem.

It matters little how softly or how loudly one speaks, when one doesn't carry a big stick.

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

You've never been this way before

Where is the fire you built your dream on?

There's something strange, there's something wrong
I see a change—it's like when love dies.
I who have known you for so long,
I see the pain in your eyes !

There was a time you lived your life,
And no one lived the way that you did!
You had a plan, you chose a wife,
You saw the world as very few did!

You had it all—the overall!—
You seemed to know just what to live for!
But now it seems, you don't at all.
You have your work—and nothing more! ...

Ten of Swords

In its upright position, the ten of swords represents absolute destruction, being
pinned down by a multitude of things or situations.

The Ten of Swords is the most grim card in the deck, more destructive and reminiscent of death than the Death card itself. Again, the dark clouds depicted above the person signify despair and a terribly bleak situation. However, upon closer examination of the images in the card, any real death or destruction, like all things, may not be permanent. There is hope regardless of the situation: the golden sky in the distance suggests that this is the worst the querant's situation could possibly be, and that things will only improve.

In the card's reversed state, it symbolizes a troubling situation that will continue for a significant amount of time.

Toi, tu es née pour la folie, pour la lumière

On t'a fait un monde trop petit
Pour tes idées
Pour l'appétit‎ de tes grands yeux écarquillés
Sur l'infini

Tu es prisonnière de ta maison
De tes parents
De cet adulte qui te dit qu'il a raison
Et qui te ment

[Refrain]
Toi, tu es née pour la folie, pour la lumière
Pour tes pays
Peuplés de voix
Et tu te demandes dans ta nuit de prisonnière
Pourquoi tu vis
Et où tu vas
Pourquoi tu vis
Et où tu vas

Tu n'as pas d'avion ni de bateau
Pour t'en aller
Les illusions qui restent sont un grand radeau
Qui va couler
Et pourtant tu veux de tout ton corps
De tout ton coeur
Briser enfin le noir et blanc de ton décor
Vivre en couleurs

[Refrain] x3

Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness

An influential 1955 book, "Protestant, Catholic, Jew" by Will Herberg, identified the American Way of Life as the "common religion" of American society:

The American Way of life is individualistic, dynamic, pragmatic. It affirms the supreme value and dignity of the individual; it stresses incessant activity on his part, for he is never to rest but is always to be striving to "get ahead"; it defines an ethic of self-reliance, merit, and character, and judges by achievement: "deeds, not creeds" are what count. The "American Way of Life" is humanitarian, "forward-looking", optimistic. Americans are easily the most generous and philanthropic people in the world, in terms of their ready and unstinting response to suffering anywhere on the globe. The American believes in progress, in self-improvement, and quite fanatically in education. But above all, the American is idealistic. Americans cannot go on making money or achieving worldly success simply on its own merits; such "materialistic" things must, in the American mind, be justified in "higher" terms, in terms of "service" or "stewardship" or "general welfare"... And because they are so idealistic, Americans tend to be moralistic; they are inclined to see all issues as plain and simple, black and white, issues of morality.

As Ralph C. Wood (Flannery O'Connor and the Christ-haunted South), later noted "the first half of Herberg's statement still holds true nearly half a century after he first formulated it," even though "Herberg's latter claims have been severely if not completely undermined... materialism no longer needs to be justified in high-sounding terms."

This is why, I beset you, my Wulfshead fellow drinking buddies my Wulfshead healthy drinking buddies, the time has come to join HAARM in the ongoing fight in the defense of the Health care industry American dream and the pursuit of corporate profiteering happiness.
