Pure hubris

I am writing this quick bit of hubris just to mouth-off on America and corporations. Last night I got a tweet from Donna Brazile.

#We the People! We pay & own it. We are responsible, they accountable. Obama can direct us, but we must lead the way forward. Believe Dat!


I initially started typing something on my iPhone but sleep took me away. I had no plans to provide links for what I am about to write. We the people must stop allowing those elected, those who own corporations, and those in the media from taking away our rights and giving those rights to corporations. It is time that we form and patronize socially and environmentally responsible companies.

I am not calling on you to do something easy. It will be hard for me to give up my Wal-Mart habit. It will be very hard for me to do so. However, until we send a message with our feet and finances life will continue to worsen in this country.

There are entities who do their best to keep unrest in this country to keep our eyes off the profits they make from doing business outside the United States while accepting U.S. subsidies. I am not looking for my buddies in China, New Zeland, or Australia to be without the physical joys of life. I am looking for companies to be more honest about how they are doing business.

The corporate lobbyist are so strong they have managed to get corporations classified as individuals. WTL!!!???!!! It has been a blip on the American media radar ( http://bit.ly/gt6Z44) We watch so many bling filled videos that we honestly believe an increase in taxes on those who make in excess of $250K will hurt our take home pay. We say nothing about the cash filled coffers of corporations who have refused to hire new employees while accepting taxpayer dollars. I am feeling all alone in the sea of intelligence, again.

We the people can mitigate business as normal in the United Sates. First we must accept and understand we are now a global economy. As long as we continue to deny that fact we will not experience any growth on any level. Secondly we must patronize those companies that have a proven record of being socially and environmentally responsible. Third we must form new corporations dedicated to improving and elevating life on this planet. Fourth, we must be willing to bite the bullet of change that the afore steps demand of us to make it a success.

President Obama's campaign slogan was "Yes, we can." He never said "Yes, I can". Until we the people step-up he nor the few still trying "can". Some have made a mockery of hope, faith and the audacity for the common people to have either. I close my ears to such word for if not for hope and faith, I would not write this blog.

Stop complaining. It is time for action. It is time for action that liberates not only you but your neighbor as well. It is time for us to act locally while thinking globally. We are not an island unto ourselves. Look at what happened to Japan and China when they tried to wall off from the world. They became stuck in time. I am soap box rambling at this point. Check out the links below. Know that you make a difference.

White Boys Whine

Quick  and dirty   Star Trek  Discovery  is everything  I  thought  it would  be.  It is my hope the White  boys  chill the fuck out .  There will be a White male captain .   The Black  woman  will be of a lowered  status.  White  boys  are you appeased ? My personal  view fuck White  boys who had their dicks in a vise  over women  of color  at the helm of a fictional  space vessel.  I shall watch  Star Trek  Discovery .  I shall pay the fee to CBS Access  with joy. If you wanted to watch OITNB you paid  Netflix . Overall  I look  forward  to the day a fictional  show  that features  women  of color  in prominent  positions  doesn't  freak out White males.  They were  so freaked  out  they compared  The Orville  to Star Trek  Discover...

New century no time for old games

As I prepared to write my comments on the Marcus Smart/Jeff Orr incident, I noticed a grown-ass man push a chair in the path of two running children at McDs.  I moved the chair and informed the man I was helping him by preventing the children from tripping.  I informed him that if the children tripped he and I would have an altercation.  He had not one word to say to me.  Punk assed grown assed men don't fuck with grown-ups only those they consider weak.  These people are the ones who will take pics of their gun collections to post on FB or Twitter.  These are the ones who will heckle college kids with racial slurs, "go back to Africa", or "Where is your green card."  As a mother, I can only hope my example of not being a punk has become embedded in my kids.  Real strength comes from knowing who you are and not seeking to belittle others.  My thoughts on Marcus Smart and Jeff Orr are simple. Marcus don't let it get to you.  It is sad...

The words we use

Someone in the media is in hot water for calling the president a dick. In all fairness I have said worse about Dick Cheney and George Bush. Well Cheney. I do not think anyone should be in trouble for call president a dick. However I have yet to see President Obama do anything that warrants my calling him anything other than Mr. President. He has not started any unwarranted wars. He has not fought to keep the American people in financial bondage. He has worked to change the tax code to keep the American economy viable. Why would anyone call Obama a dick is beyond me. IMHO we have had people in power who were true dicks. They managed to screw the people of America and the world so badly it will take a decade to feel normal. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
