AN OPEN LETTER IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN CRYING IN SECRET (AND GNASHING YOUR TEETH TO BITS)

DEAR MR O'BUMMER,

WHERE DO I START?
HOW ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN 'PROMISES NEVER FULFILLED' ISSUE, THAT IS ALWAYS
A GREAT INDICATOR OF JUST HOW MUCH PP (POLITICAL PERFIDY=BULLSHIT) WE THE PEOPLE
ARE IN FOR
I DIDN'T EXACTLY WANT THIS LETTER TO GO ON AND ON (SPACEWISE), BUT HERE IS A
SHORT LIST OF WHAT REALLY AILS US, OK?
I'LL WRITE IT IN PLAIN ENGLISH (WE KNOW MANY PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON WILL NEED A
REFRESHER COURSE IN THIS, BUT THAT IS THEIR FAULT, ISN'T IT?)

1. THE 'ECONOMY' (BLAME IT ON THE BOSSA NOVA, IS OUR TAKE, THAT IS, WE DON'T THINK IT'S THE
'ECONOMY'S FAULT, BUT A BUNCH OF GREEDY BANKERS' WHO OUGHT TO BE IN JAIL,
ACCORDING TO THE RULE OF LAW)

2. THAT 'SOCIALIST' EVIL, HEALTH CARE, WHY DO THEY STILL CALL IT THAT, AND NOT ANOTHER
WORD FOR THE EVILEST SCAM SINCE EVE LEARNED TO LIE, TO MAKE SICK PEOPLE PAY, AND PAY,
AND PAY, THEY FORGET WHAT EXACTLY FOR, BUT I SERIOUSLY WOULDN'T CALL IT 'CARE'

3. OUR 'FOREIGN POLICY' IF YOU WANT TO CALL SEVERAL NEVER-ENDING FOR PROFIT WARS
A 'FOREIGN POLICY', YOU NEED YOUR HEAD EXAMINED, OR YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL

4. THE WAR ON DRUGS, THE MOST CYNICAL 'BLAME THE VICTIM' SCHEME IN HISTORY,
WAGED IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES, EXCEPT WHERE IT COUNTS, AT THE ROOT OF 'DEMAND',
NOT 'SUPPLY', WHERE IT HAS NEVER SUCCEEDED

5. THE FACT WE ARE IMPRISONING MORE PEOPLE THAN ANY COUNTRY ON EARTH, INCLUDING
THE OLD BOGEY THE USSR, AND A DIRECT RESULT OF THE 'WAR ON DRUGS' AND OUR
OLD 'RACIST' PROBLEM

6. OUR SCHOOLS AREN'T FIT FOR 'CHIMPAMZEES' AS IF THOSE POOR CREATURES DESERVE THAT
SUPREMELY CONDESCENDING AND ILL FITTING REFERENCE
AS A MATTER OF FACT, EDUCATION BEING THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF RAISING OUR KIDS,
THE REASON WHY WE FIND OURSELVES IN THIS SITUATION, IS HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS
DO YOU REALLY THINK THE EVOLUTION OF THE HUMAN RACE (AND NOT JUST THE TRAINING OF
SLAVES AND FACTORY WORKERS) WILL BE ADVANCED AT ALL BY THIS POLICY OF DUMBING DOWN
THE MASSES?

6.5 HAS IT OCCURRED TO YOU, THAT WITHOUT THE TRAINING WE SO NEED (AND STOPPING ALL THOSE
USELESS, SELF-INTERESTED FIRINGS, AND SHIPPING JOBS OVERSEAS) YOU DON'T HAVE A CHANCE
IN HELL OF BECOMING (OR RETAKING THE PLACE OF) 'FIRST' AMONG THE 'DEVELOPED'
NATIONS? (NO SCIENTISTS=BACK TO CAVE DWELLING)

7. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, OUR RE-WRITING OF HISTORY IS GOING TO PROVE TO BE OUR DOWNFALL,
REMEMBER THE EXPRESSION 'THOSE WHO ARE IGNORANT OF HISTORY, ARE BOUND TO REPEAT THE
STUPIDEST MISTAKES OVER AND OVER, AND NOT LEARN ANYTHING' (THE NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBES
AND THE US GOVERNMENT WHO DISREGARDED OR BROKE OVER 400 TREATIES COMES TO MIND)
AND THAT, HAND IN HAND WITH THE MOST CONDESCENDING, IDIOTICALLY SUPERIOR ATTITUDE
TOWARDS 'EVERYONE ELSE' (WHO ISN'T WHITE, YEAH YOU BELONG ON THAT GROWING LIST, THEY'RE JUST 'USING' YOUR ASS AS PROOF WE AIN'T RACISTS) ON THIS PLANET

AND THE LIST COULD ACTUALLY HIT THE HUNDRED MARK, NO KIDDING

THE ONLY WAY TO 'CHANGE' OUR COURSE, IS QUITE SIMPLY TO START OVER, CLEANING THE SLATE
FIRST, HOW DO YOU EXPECT ANYTHING TO CHANGE BY GIVING THOSE 'GOOD OLD BOYS'
THE SAME WIDE HIGHWAY TO AVOID ACCOUNTABILITY, RESPONSIBILITY, AND ALL THOSE
'-ILLITIES' WE HEAR OF SO OFTEN (HAVING BEEN TWISTED SO MANY TIMES IN THE SPIN MACHINES)
EVERY DAY
AND, WE NEED TO FIX, INSTEAD OF 'FIX' THE VOTING SYSTEM IF WE ARE GOING TO KEEP CALLING
OURSELVES 'DEMOCRATIC', AND INSISTING WE HAVE EQUAL RIGHTS
NOTHING COULD BE FARTHER FROM THE TRUTH, AS LONG AS TWO OF THE MOST 'CONSERVATIVE'
COUNTRIES IN EUROPE, SPAIN AND PORTUGAL, LEGALIZED SAME SEX MARRIAGE (BOTH), AND
DECRIMINALIZED ALL DRUGS, AS WELL AS HELPING ADDICTS TO GET RID OF THEIR ADDICTIONS
(PORTUGAL)
I GUESS NOWADAYS, IT DOESN'T EVEN COUNT TO SET AN EXAMPLE, DOES IT? OR MAYBE 'WE JES TOO SMART' TO FOLLOW ONE
LOOK, I'M NOT A POLITICAL ANIMAL, IT'S JUST THAT THESE ISSUES AFFECT ME, SO
PARDON MY BITCHING (AND MY FRENCH)

YOURS TRULY,

BUMMED OUT


PS THIS IS NO ATTACK ON YOU, I THINK YOU ARE (OR HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE) A FABULOUS,
MARVELOUS PERSON, AFTER ALL, I VOTED FOR YOU (DOESN'T THAT SAY A LOT?)
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, AND I VOTED FOR THE 'MIXED-RACE' CANDIDATE,
(WHAT AFRICAN-AMERICAN IS NOT?), ONE I COULD IDENTIFY WITH (I'M MIXED-RACE TOO, BOOBALA)
OF COURSE I DIDN'T HAVE ANY HIGH EXPECTATIONS ON THE 'POLITICAL' SIDE OF THINGS,
BUT SINCE ALL THOSE BROKEN PROMISES WERE MADE, I THOUGH I OUGHT TO EXERCISE THAT
DYING RIGHT OF 'FREEDOM OF SPEECH' I'M SUPPOSED TO HAVE
THANKS,

BO
