Here’s the problem class…the turmoil sweeping the globe like an unbridled tsunami is, in fact, no way comparable to the unpredictable devastation brought on by Mother Nature.  Our disastrous chaos is manmade, totally predictable, unnecessary and avoidable.  Most every horrible situation facing our planet, (even drought and flooding to some extent), is the result of bad decision making on the part of relatively few individuals.  These choices, by religious zealots, ambitious politicians and captains of industry and finance and tacitly accepted or tolerated by most of us sheep have plopped us like spineless rag dolls into this dreadful scenario.  A bunch of these decision makers gathered in their expensive suits on the French Riviera this week to ponder a plan of action…really?  And meanwhile, back in the US Congress, another bunch of worthless morons wasted our time and money reaffirming an already existing law that created “In God We Trust” as our national motto while ignoring any responsibility to the other 12,000 dire issues before them.  No one, and I mean no one, (as opposed to the exaggerated ‘no one’ I have often used), is taking anything seriously.  There’s the ‘Gang of 12 Super-committee’, a gaggle of responsibly-challenged dimwits who have spent months preparing charts and graphs to identify the depth of the shit we’re in, yet still without a hint of an exit strategy; the G20, (see Mediterranean vacationers above), posing for hours of group photos while bemoaning and berating the horror of the “Greece Problem”, as if Greece was what…going away?; the posse of republican presidential candidates in search of any catchy phrase or position or shred of an idea that sounds at all presidential, (although Perry came very close to winning me over with his maple syrup dance and Cain, of course, has found some currency in the over-active-little-commander-in-chief-Kennedy/Clinton approach); a disingenuous cadre of democrats offering up cuts to entitlements, castration of the EPA, continued, (if not loving), ass-kissing of banks, insurance companies and greed-driven corporations and financial institutions that continue to suck the life blood out of…well, everybody who’s not them; and the ‘Occupiers’, who certainly need to keep on occupying, but at some point…soon…will have to find a spokesperson, (probably not Charley Sheen), to articulate just what winning, (unlike our military industrialists), means to them.

Channeling Andy Rooney, or maybe being temporarily taken over by his spirit…

You know what’s wrong with the world today?  It’s the stacks and stacks of advertising that gets stuffed into my mailbox everyday for things that neither I, nor anyone I’ve ever met care about in any way.  Oh…and everything else!
