At the risk of sounding
a little cold I would like to cite an example from the movie “Inheret the Wind”
where Gene Kelly remarked of the death of “Matthew Harrison Brady” the
following. He said, “Why should we mourn
for this man. Heaven knows he spent
enough time mourning for himself while he was still alive”. One could say the same thing of Jesus
Christ. He was a man who violated the
Rush Limbaugh rule of “A true hero does not stop and plot just how he is going
to remembered and celebrated after he is dead”.
Now we come to the David Cruise show on at three. Of course it’s all about 9 – 11. The very thing he said he didn’t want us
doing was in fact what I ended up doing.
After listening to ten minutes of his moaning and sermonizing I turned
the station to 92.3 FM and listened to funky-soul music, which by the way wasn’t
very today. The only song with any
potential at all was “Boogie Wonderland”.
After this I switched to Katie Kuric.
So it was about one third of the hour on each of these. But of course today for the eleventh time
there are the commemorations and rememberances and the reciting of names. So this is in essence “Armed Forces Day”
number four. That is if you count Armed
Forces day, Vetterans Day, Memorial Day and 9 – 11 plus whatever other special
occasions prompt memorials of our fallen men.
Let me tell you we would have been climbing the walls if this sort of
thing were going on forty years ago during the tailing years of the Viet Nam War. You know sometimes the adage is true. “Your feelings will lie to you”. That is, when they are being played like a
violin by the media, who tells us every emotion to have on almost any
subject. They tell us the unemployment
numbers were bad. They tell us that
despite the onrush of new workers, students, immigrants, Veterans returning
from the war that “Droves of people are leaving the work force”. According to Rush Limbaugh in another four
years the work force will continue to shrink the same rapid rate. I didn’t know the “safety net” was so cushy these
days that it posed such a magnet. I
thought unemployment was cut BACK from 96 weeks to 76 weeks due to budget
cutting. James Dobson said “Your
feelings will lie to you”. But nobody
ever stops to think for a minute that “What if I’m being played like a violin
by a voice on the radio. You don’t
suppose the sudden feelings of self doubt about my own intuition - - that THOSE
FEELINGS could be a Lie? No, never. Does anybody ever ask me that I think? No. It’s
like a Sunday sermon. We are ALL somehow
supposed to be thinking the same thoughts after the message is delivered. All this talk about monuments and such, the
Greeks would say our society is suffering from an extreme “edifice complex”. When I saw what was happening I was amazed at
how even the media was informing us the buildings would collapse even before
they did. When someone played “Imagine”
on the Laura Schleshenger show, Dr. Laura came on and objected telling the
producer “Be sure and deguise that card”.
(meaning erase) Can’t have any
sentaments about a time when we won’t have War.
No! No! We have to all hate a
country that wasn’t even responsible, and not the fifteen of the nineteen
hijackers, who were from Sauti Arabia, alias Bush’s good buddies. When senators were on the fence about 9 – 11 a
few envelopes in the mail containing anthrax solved that problem. Lagging in the polls? Just raise the “Alert” level to Orange. If you are still lagging in the polls- - -
how about a Bin Laden video just before election time? We were told the passengers of Flight 93 “Sacrificed
themselves gladly” by running the plane into the ground so it would not hit an important
building. This is so even though all
cameras showed of the site were a very few pieces of debris, and a whole lot of
smoke. “Hey, all we need is a few smoke
bombs over here”. Nobody ever asked
themselves “You mean an entire plane crashed here”. And “What happened to the steel beams? Shipped off to China, you say?” You know in another country they were showed
propaganda film after propaganda film in preparation of the people
psychologically for the invasion of Poland.
The conservatives still want to invade Poland, to put back the missiles
that the Obama administration failed to approve. Why - - we are told that in Kenya they occupy
their spare time singing “God bless the USA”.
So in the words of that famous Latino, Jose Himanez I say “Ya, Basta!” “Enough Already!!!”
