No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world."

I've found that culture, however useful and important, is neither the foundation nor the ceiling of human experience, even if it is commonly used for walls.
I really consider President and Mrs. Mubarak to be friends of my family. So I hope to see him often here in Egypt and in the United States. —Hillary Clinton
I came home tonight and Kae was watching 1984. The Richard Burton/John Hurt version.
ReplyDeleteThe point where I came in Winston was just starting his relationship with Julia. After receiving the Newspeak Dictionary he discovered the hidden pages.
Sitting in bed with Julia he began to read of endless war to control the masses, starvation and poverty to keep the people down and under control...
OMG, it was the script of the USA today!
Seeing as how it has been given your blessing I need to find time to watch the rest of The Empire...
ReplyDeleteWell, I wouldn't exactly call it my "blessing" but it explains a great deal of what we hear people yelling and screaming about on the tubes. I skipped most of the 9/11 stuff because sitting through the litany of reasons we are not supposed to believe the official line bore me in a kind of way that is dangerous, but they go back to the beginning after that part. Back to Sumer. They trace most of the out of the mainstream historians' work up threw there... all in a manner so as to make one suspicious that Hitler may have had a more lucid reasoning than we have given him credit for.... Anyway, it explains a lot, for however out there it might be.
ReplyDeleteI'm just now listening from the part where I fell asleep last night and it still pretty much be documenting its unspoken premise that the Jews have been behind a very long plan to enslave mankind... using Egyptian mysticism.... It's looooong... but it is maybe worth the effort just to understand those who are quite a bit more rabid about certain buzz words than we find seemly....
Educational, even if you don't believe it.
I struggled for a better word...
ReplyDeleteI'm struggling to keep listening. I want to hear it, but I kinda wanna be doing other stuff while it plays and I guess I can't walk and chew gum anymore....
ReplyDeleteSo I stopped chewing gum and started listening more carefully. It's pretty good. Pretty sound. Worth the time.
