Sex and Violence
When you get as close as Him and his fellatio totalitarians are to accomplishing and finishing off any semblance to the New Deal, the old constitution, the new society, and anything else they can get their hands on, you can count on a dreary future, at least until the HOPE of mid-term elections is closer to the drawing board. Sad that the only HOPE is the slight chance of going backwards to another time when Congress, the lawmaking, budget creating, and war (as will, I suppose, PEACE) making representative of the American people can give up it's Constitutional privileges once again, to the highest bidder.
Of course, their hands never get dirty.
Free thinking about the war on sexual freedom.
Although we all can argue what an adult is and at what magical age, we all become adults, whoops, that's the problem isn't it? Agreement is based not on what may be abuse, such as an age of consent or acceptable age of adulthood or a standard set on positions of power relationships between all the possible relationships anyone can have.
Ironically, the Bible or Koran or any of those other sin/punishment books of the pre-medieval period never said anything about sex, except the implication that girls, would submit, and men, whenever possible, will make sure girls submit. Remnants of the old-world order still with us today.
So much for sexual freedom.
But what about sexual liberation? That becomes a matter of education, right? Liberation education is what is necessary for freedom to be understood. It is claimed that families and churches teach respect, responsibility, and standards of behavior. It's also claimed that teaching is connected to what the church, what the family sees as punishment for not adhering to those standards. In the old days, but no longer, the family held the reins of control over their children. But it was different when families were isolated on farms and informed by country church preachers and ethics. The standards of behavior, especially sexual relationships have come along ways from those old days. Young people are leaving small town and small minded america, going to regions with college towns and neighborhoods and boroughs where codes and standards are more fitting and real to young communities. Thats what should happen. Instead, we get the picture of the time when young people left their small towns everywhere, their crowded urban environments and went off to war and came back either heroes or dupes. But many did not go home, they'd seen too much, they took up the needle, the bottle, the "monster" they were sent to kill, came back inside of them. They changed but, most of all, their dreams of taking over the farm, becoming plumbers, auto mechanics, a simpler life (for that's what they fought for) weren't going to be realized. America slowly became a nation of despair.
Heroism fades, swallowed by history with every new need for another, and another, memories die and the next generation's appetite, demand for change.
Since i haven't been young for a long time i can only assume that young people establish their own standards of behavior just like my generation did, of equality and freedom notwithstanding. Of course, it wasn't perfect. But what is?
The totalitarian powers that be are old fashioned and outdated, but any conservative would say those outdated behaviors are good but there's no proof that they are good or the reason that they are is only because the institutionalized law supports them, and we already should know how laws and standards are established.
Change is slow or nonexistent, laws don't reflect what people, in this case young people, are doing. And we know that no matter what generations of young people liberalize, they later in life teach their children what their parents taught them, maybe, even adding more fear for young women or more guilt for both young men and women.
I guess I can say, forget what your parents taught you, there's a good chance it was wrong or misguided, but remember to avoid their addictions too.
Violence is another symptom of the repression we all experience, though, unlike sex, there seems to be no restriction on the amount of violence citizens must endure, whether it is reality or make believe. We are constantly bombarded with the idea that violence is transformative, that is, it gets what we want as a nation and religion, it signifies cohesiveness, and all the future scenarios envision a violent dystopian environment. It's kill or be killed, and all our heroes evoke that principal., whether it be on our streets (look at the armament of the police and military), in our foreign policy (which includes the psychological type of violence of sanctions, aid blockage as well as the use of the military arbitrarily against any target anywhere, anytime), and rhetorical violence (the bullying and more mundane political, competitive demands of the powerful over the citizenry). There is even the secret violence, perpetrated by the underbelly of nations, their operations plans. When I worked for the military (as a dumb twenty year old), i was quietly surprised at the way in which america planned/plans for the world war three scenario, and I imagine, it has not changed much, except for the technology, it will still be one million casualties here, two million casualties there, until the technology is depleted or whatever humanity is left, rebels/rebuilds from the rubble men's minds leave behind.
Lets all hope that at that time, we won't revert back to what the "good" books say about repopulating the earth for the greater glory. However, history does repeat itself, always.
We're all caught in a recycle of SIN., with only priests, preachers, and cruel military men and politicians to tide us over, unless we use the one thing we have to thwart this snake eating its tail retelling, spit it out, and start looking for some real food.
