Did you ever see the way that nineteenth century loggers used to fall redwoods? They used two man saws with narrow blades that were drawn through the trunk of the tree in long even measured strokes. Much in the same way what we know of life as it was a decade ago is being sawed away in a similar manner. To those who wish to remain debunk the possibility of changes that address them in every direction the process of ignorance is becoming ever more a challenge. Even the oddity of the weather as being solely a force of mother nature is becoming ever harder to swallow despite a government inspired campaign to shrug it off solely as the result of mass population alone. People cling to their view screens in a manner similar to tiny feral monkeys trembling at their mother’s breast and fearful that they can no longer be soothed into their preferred state of a waking coma by the mind numbing absurdities that ape the existence of the general population through a decidedly distorted media lens.
Outside the family bunker, food and gas prices steadily climb while the government appears to advance towards imminent wars both foreign and domestic. It seems impossible to obtain a clear picture of escalating events considering the published fact of corporate insurgents and rogue government inspired campaigns of fear and disinformation. Yet for anyone that wants to get a sense of things it is all too easy to take ten minutes of simple string searching on any of these topics and hit the pay dirt of some undeniable amount of verification of what most choose to toss off as simple conspiratorial mania. Forget about who is doing what to whom! Consider how utterly perverse and bankrupt those who pretend to govern by the means of deceitful rhetoric alone have come down to constantly criminalize and deceive the public at large in order to siphon off the dwindling wealth of these constituents. It seems the concept of moral responsibility went out the window uncountable decades past and we are coming into a time that favors only barbarity and self-centered unrepentant aggrandizement. What matter the balance of fact versus fiction when the larger mass of humanity losses its way and becomes nothing more than viscious unquestioning savages?
Fabulous! I’m moving to my beautiful barn in Door County and live off the land and paint and draw and create my own paradise!
Unfortunately, like that great building Sargosso sea of bottle caps in the Pacific, it will one day eventually come floating to that Door as well.
