Private Caller

that's what the caller ID said- well sometimes a few people we know call us that way- so I picked up....
...... it was a taped message from Tommy Lasorda !- with a script urging support of this administrations' plan for social security....
I don't know this guy- I don't even remember why I know his name......some sports-related figure ? This NOBODY is going to tell us what he thinks of this plan for soc sec and I am supposed to pay attention- because he is ..what.?.a famous name ?? an old former athlete ?? this feels like a final straw......what is he selling? vinyl siding? carpet cleaning?
Day after day - there are more and more intrusions of privacy & domestic news of corruption, lies, distortions,
greed, injustice and more and more intrusion by THE STATE - not my 'home' State- but THE STATE as in Fascist/communist terms.... In 38 years of political/ social consciousness, I have not seen anything like what has been happening before our eyes.
Please people - I feel like a Tom Payne right now- & no one is reading this-
I won't give you web links to moveon.org or the like- find your own way to help combat
the omnipresent assaults on our constitution. Speak up- speak out -copy and paste things and send to everyone you know........
Pay attention- write your Representatives-Senators/ be an active citizen-
We all have enough to worry about and things we need to do to pay bills and survive-
why do we now have to worry about what we say and to whom we say it- ? Are we going to continue to 'blame' U bin Laden for throwing us off course? Too easy- that's what
the current powers that be wish. Not so; in the name of 'security' we are getting hit over the head with plans and agendas that are 60 years old-
Certain people have been trying to dismantle The New Deal since it hit the streets.
Your liberty, freedoms, paychecks, health insurance are at stake and those of children and grandchildren.....
DO SOMETHING..........please .....at the very least- get informed.
and enjoy your day ~~

    I cannot walk through the suburbs in the solitude
    of the night without
    thinking that the night pleases us because it
    suppresses idle details, just
    as our memory does. -Jorge Luis Borges, writer
    (1899-1986)
