Guest guest Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Boy am I late tonight with my daily reading! Thought this was worth a lookie for you. He says a mouthfull. mk --- A Spring Morning In The Autumn Of America 'Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone' By John Kaminski skylax 5-16-5 Mornings on my porch these days are exquisite. I pry myself from my bed and shuffle out into paradise in this (what I call) cool Florida spring. Every day starts out at 70 degrees. Sun flashes through the dense foliage, creating lush shadows and undulating sunbeams flecked with shimmering dust motes. The mockingbird symphony (somewhere between Vaughn Williams and Wagner, I fancy) is backed by a chorus of owls chanting their baritone refrain. If you listen closely you can discern the words. In fact, you may discern any words you want. I choose to hear " what a world, what a beautiful world. " Eight o'clock on a sunny May morning. It's hard to see anything wrong with the world those first few moments each morning on my porch. Then I remember. Reality intrudes. The e-mails. That fascinating and disturbing window on the world. After careening through hundreds of them every day, disconnected thoughts begin flowing through my brain, even before I put on the coffee. When I write something, people are always asking me for references, links or citations, and I seldom can remember them, because I have traveled too fast through too much cyberterritory during the previous day to be able to cite chapter and verse. It's the ideas that stick, though I often don't remember which e-mail said what. This morning it's this one. We grew up thinking our leisurely middle class lifestyle was the way life has always been. Some of you white haired curmudgeons out there will remember a wacky TV show called " The Life of Riley, " one of those carefree '50s half hour sitcoms where the bumbling head of household was lovably inept and perpetually bamboozled - and appreciated because of it. Such an innocent time. One recent e-mail pointed out that this social condition - the very existence of a middle class - was created by the aftermath of World War II, when the government assisted all its military survivors with generous loans. The result was a surge in college degrees and individual home ownership. First the first time in history, a legitimate middle class was created. It had never existed before, which was something I never realized. But now, today, in A.D. 2005, it was being deliberately exterminated. And might never exist again. One of the reasons this sad state had come to pass, as I recall, was that these same auspicious conditions for prosperity also created something very dangerous to the ultimate health of the planet - out-of-control human reproduction and an out-of-balance infestation of corpulent human locusts. It's like the climate in Florida. Every possible species of animal thrives here. Eagles live comfortably in towns. Alligators grow 14 feet long and aren't afraid to waddle anywhere, as some people with missing limbs will attest to. Heck, in Florida, the cockroaches - and their Schwarzeneggerean cousins, the mighty palmetto bugs - will stand up and fight you if you get in their way. No foolin'. Life thrives here. With such a rich country and a government that actually supported its population, after World War II, the population exploded. All over the world, too. The world's population quadrupled in the 20th century. So it wasn't long before our controllers, the rich elite who get a very different education than we peons do, surmised that too many people put too much of strain on the world's resources. Or maybe it was just their control of the world's resources that they were talking about. In any case, they developed a plan - they being some think tank called the Club of Rome - that population had to be reduced radically if the elite were to continue to live comfortably in their opulent, Wackenhut-guarded enclaves. If you're old enough, you might remember the days when the medical profession actually tried to make you healthier. Rather than today, when all they try to do is rob you and kill you, or at least maim you for life so you'll be forced to buy more medicines. Now this Club of Rome thing has reached hyperdrive. Most of allopathic medicines are outright poison, as is most of the corporate food supply. You definitely can't trust what your doctor says. And the brave military men and women who devotedly follow the orders of our nation's so-called leaders? Well, instead of getting free college and a loan guarantee to buy a house, they get a guaranteed case of terminal cancer (cleverly inflicted by their own poisoned ammunition, as well as their toxic vaccinations, so they can spread their maladies to their families and thereby reduce unwanted and unsightly population more quickly, not to mention the benefit to the government that paying parsimonious death benefits is much more economical than shelling out for lifelong medical care) - all this, of course, assuming that they survive their military assignments, which, in this sad day and age, has become less and less likely. Now, some of you, particularly some of you young whippersnappers, might say to me: " You're living in the past, Old Geezer. You've got to get with the program.
