Outraged!

Haven't we learned anything? For how long are we gonna prevent our mistakes from becoming part of our historical memory? And if so... Why do we choose that path when there isn't any real restitution to be made, nor is there any just retribution to be given? Isn't that too accommodating, too easy, too self forgiving, and also too hypocritical?

I feel totally outraged, it has been so for quite a long time now. But lately, it has become an abnormally normal way of living. A strange daily ritual, for which I feel as guilty as any of the culprits holding the most important roles in this never ending stage called life.

It isn't just one thing! It is the sum of all that has gone unchecked by all of us as a collective. We are just too goddamn busy living our pitiful excuse of a life, to really stand up and denounce the obvious!

On one hand, we are killing the planet. But that pretty blue sphere we all call home, isn't ready yet to go into the night without a fight. Western Europe, Spain and France particularly, have received the fury of the elements... we had a sort of hurricane over land. And that, when we all know that hurricanes never form over it! The destruction has been nothing short of catastrophic, and the death toll... one too many! We might as well do what Jim Jones did in Guyana and kill everybody including our kids. We might as well put a gun in their heads... suffering will only last a fraction of a second vs. the moribund home they are gonna inherit from us, plus a slow and painful death as our dammed legacy to them.

Secondly, I keep hearing people talk about a crisis, a new depression, etc... everybody in their respective countries blaming the government in turn. Opposition has it easier than ever these days! As it has always been, if I may add... Only now, they seem to be feeding on the lack of a discerning criteria on behalf of the millions of people suffering it first hand.... More to my introduction point! We still are as dumb as ever!

We need more independent thinkers. But, above all, more independent doers! I don't believe in problems, there is just people without imagination!

The unscrupulous will take advantage of our most primal fear, making us believe that in returning to our worn out and ragged old patterns rests our only way out. I don't have all the answers... but I also feel some kind of certainty as they are even more clueless than me, if that is even possible!

Four boys died last Saturday morning, due in part to the extreme weather conditions we have been experiencing since, due in part to construction defects in the stadium that buried them alive under its rubble. A stadium they were precisely using to escape the strong winds blowing outdoors! Irony? No, I don't think so. Total negligence on behalf of the highest bidder for the construction of a government financed project... That's more like it! But unfortunately, it isn't until a tragedy of this sort takes place that the responsible show up with a solution. Is that gonna return those kids back to life and to their broken down families? Why did we wait so? Can we really fall any lower?

I swear, sometimes I believe I am living between Disneyland and Macondo, and this is just a bad chapter of the Surreal Life!

And the cherry to top it all! The IV Reich is here already!!!
Yes, I said the IV Reich, leaded by the elected Nazi Pope Benedict XVI, whom in an act that dares all that a man of God is supposed to stand for, lifted the excommunications of four traditionalist bishops, including that of a Holocaust denier whose rehabilitation sparked outrage among Jewish and not Jewish groups alike. All that without any consideration to the other 6 million people that were also exterminated! Gassed along with the Jews, they were considered little pebbles in Hitler's shoes. Gays, lesbians, Gypsies, communists, persons with physical and mental disabilities, etc. Religion wasn't the only criteria used during the Holocaust. In total, Hitler & Co. got rid of 12 million people! So, and just as a footnote... ENOUGH ALREADY with the Jewish martyrs! They weren't the only ones who suffered during WWII. And now, back to the present Nazi Pope in Rome and his predecessor Pope Pius XII... The one that condoned all the atrocities committed by the III Reich.

Men of God??? Holy See??? HOLY SHIT! And that's more like it!

If we can so easily forget, or "forgive", our not so old past... What else is there waiting for us? How much more has to happen before we all firmly stand before such an outrage!
