As I’ve mentioned before I can never forget the faces and voices of those who suffer, once exposed to them it is impossible for me to disregard them, ever. When I wrote my last post (They Will Get What They Want) I mentioned New Orleans and the result of Katrina in light of what we are now facing with the current economic meltdown (meltdown for most, enrichment for others). I did not plan to write this present post highlighting New Orleans and what happened in Katrina’s aftermath. I just happened to read a fresh article, this morning, of the so-called white vigilante groups that took advantage of the chaos by going on a killing spree and seemingly avoiding prosecution, so far.

We The People are the government plain and simple, everywhere and anywhere on Mother Earth. From the ground beneath our feet to the sky high above, it all belongs to US, The People. We have been made to forget that Read more »

There are times (many in fact) when I feel completely overwhelmed by what I wake up to and try to fall asleep with every single day. I often think about those who are less fortunate and remember all the faces that I’ve seen that reflect a life of wretched discomfort and pain that this world envelops them in. Read more »

As you can see this is my first posting since the elections. I needed a little time to just sit back and well, observe and reflect (actually I had other projects to tend to as well). On the reflection part I revisited the past two elections in which George W was presented as the “Chosen One” and remembered how potent the Republican Party seemed. Read more »

I had written another post about the upcoming U.S. elections (national and local) and happened to come across this gem of a write-up. Even though my planned post is along the same vein (sort of), I liked this one much better. Most words in caps and all bold text are my doing for emphasis. Read more »

Closing in on Election Day here in the United States means, exposure to an intensifying and constant barrage of campaign rhetoric from the local to national level. It has never ceased to amaze me as to the amount of money spent in this endeavor. What is even more amazing is how people seem to eat it up! Does it ever dawn on most people that the vast majority of this incredibly expensive broadcast time is dedicated to the smearing of the opposition and very little if any on pertinent issues?

I have noticed the air of excitement surrounding many in these last days of the present administration, the Bush administration to be precise. It has been documented that George W. Bush himself has been quite subdued during the Republican campaign efforts, I guess in an attempt by McCain/Palin to show that they do represent a different stance. And of course we are familiar with the so-called “Change” platform of the Obama/Biden ticket, which I referenced in my first ever post. As far as the rest (I will list all that I am aware of because they deserve at least to be included): Read more »

Hello, my name is almodesto and I think too much and ask way too many questions for most peoples’ taste. Once upon a time, I had two “friends” that I thought understood and could relate to how I felt about most things, but I was wrong on all accounts. So here I am writing a blog. Something I never had any interest in doing before; I need an outlet, a release of pent up frustration. This frustration in part, is a direct result of what I see going on in the world around all of us and I know that I am not alone in that regard.
So I ask… Read more »
