The ditty I wrote here for the 4th of July was my status. Can you tell I am not a holiday type person? These are some of my family/friends responses.
MY STATUS: Considering the tyranny we are under, why do we celebrate independence? We became independent of Britain in 1776, but we are now dependent on a system that will tear the rug out from under us. If you think about what is now and celebrate supposed independence, question your thoughts/actions.
Anna ~ I'm not doing anything today...packing...would rather have bonfires, drumming, concerts and friends.
Em ~ I am with you there hun and ? you for pointing it out as always ^_^ btw.. I am going to steal it.. I was trying to figure out what I wanted to say as a status.. lmao
Savvy ~ That's because people don't elect the people who really represent THEM. They either don't vote or listen to the hype instead of checking out the candidates for themselves. We MUST start electing our peers and not politicians.
Em ~ Unfortunately our "peers" are politicians and we as people forgot that even though we "elect" them, they are supposed to work for us.
Tell me when was the last time an elected official actually put to vote something in their areas to the citizens and then placed their vote accordingly? We have forgotten that they are supposed to work for us.. and we have/had the right to hold them accountable to do so. Yes they misrepresent themselves and never ask us a damn thing on laws that are being made. Did you get to vote on the Patriot Act or allowing the TSA to violate us? I sure the hell didn't... Just say'n ^_^
Nikki (my daughter) ~ if people like you had it your way wed celebrate nothing, question everything, and run around naked in the forest. No thank you... bring on the hot dogs and the fireworks!!
E~ lmao Arachne's daughter .. Hey enjoy your hot dogs and fireworks.. your mom and I have no issue with that.. speaking in her behalf though as she didn't actually tell me that... lmao
Me to Anna ~ like you, I am getting my gear in order. In addition, I too would prefer bonfires, drumming, concerts, and friends. Some packing of my car has been done, but there is more to go. I can't wait until next week!
Me to Em ~ feel free to take what you will. I was just busting a nut over the day and figured that rather than quoting someone, I would put it in my own words and state how I feel about the state of things. Thanks for you response to my daughter.
Me to Savvy ~ you are so right. However, wouldn't it be ideal if government were like the community of Brushwood? Wouldn't that work in the people's favor without need for any type of election or overlord who works for self interest only?
Me to my daughter Nikki, don't forgive my anti-capitalistic nature. Maybe one day you will figure it out and understand why I do what I do and why I think what I think. Do bring on the running around naked in the forest! I don't begrudge you your hotdogs and fireworks. However, you should note that you can celebrate EVERYDAY of your life. Don't be limited by the holidays.
Em ~ ?" However, you should note that you can celebrate EVERYDAY of your life. Don't be limited by the holidays." Right on sister!
Me to Em ~ You bet your ass "SISTER!"
Anna ~ My Sicilian grandfather used to say, "Everyday is a holiday." You don't need a reason or excuse to do something, just go ahead and do it. Which is the reason why I stayed home and packed. My holiday starts this weekend…all two weeks,of it.
My daughter Nikki to Em ~ when i said like u that was all to my mom lmao
Em to my daughter Nikki ~ I know hun ^_^... but had to comment, as it's what i do....lol
Jon ~ "divide & conquer, just like days of old, divide & conquer, when slaves were bought & sold..."
Me to Anna ~ your grandfather was a wise man and you are a wise woman for getting your butt in gear for true celebration.
Me to my daughter, "E" was aware you were not referring to her in regard to your statement: if people like you had it your way wed [sic] celebrate nothing, question everything, and run around naked in the forest. Hell, daughter, we should celebrate everyday and QUESTION EVERYTHING lest we are a sheep. Running around the forest naked is an merely an option for one to choose if one is so inclined.
Me to Jon ~ today's people apply their own shackles and becomes slaves to the system because of all their WANTS. If sticking strictly to their NEEDS, they would have more freedom.
Jon ~ Thanks...learning to question my 'wants' & minimize my 'needs' what a true letting go...
David ~ to me this holiday is just an excuse to get drunk.....I am too nihilistic to care....empires, nations, civilizations all rise and fall....when I die nobody will even know who to write with a pen....everyone will text....I will be dead and my soul will go to some wicked planet with no government where sex, drugs and R&R are the only gods
Anna ~ I wouldn't mind running around naked in the forest with a hot dog...now I need to find some guy with a hot dog...ROFLMAO!!!
Me to David and Anna ~ thanks for making me smile. I love you both! ~ Jul 5, 2011 12:33 am
