INAUGURATION DAY
When
I was a child I remember placing my tiny fingers over my eyes to hide. I thought
no one could see me. I felt also that the entire world stood still and nothing
bad could happen until I removed my hands. Of course that wasn’t true
but it was a solid coping method for me when I was a child. That denial ekes
through and has a small reserved area in my mind to this day. The only difference
is that reality takes presidency.
It was the Inauguration that I didn’t want to believe. I refused to turn on the television and kept my usual newscasts suspended for twenty-four hours. I love my country but how could Bush be voted in to office. It just isn’t true. It can’t be true. Perhaps the people of the United States, only half of them, should revisit Orwell’s 1984. Maybe a class should be taught on the methodology of propaganda and brain washing. Or they should read The Stepford Wives. They could view the movies to save time on reading and see how subtle events can be accepted and destroy our country.
This man and his cronies have the U.S. people right where they want them. I watch silently as my friends, who are not so silent, get arrested. I long for the days when a sit in would be recognized as a big deal. I appreciated it when a search warrant would be necessary to gain entrance into my home. I didn’t mind giving my fingerprints over or a position that required a background check. We are in a deep well with no way out. I read the manifesto of the Project for the New American Century produced in the 90’s by a few men. It was horrible then and even more horrible now because it is the manifesto of our present administration. However I do feel that the writing is on the wall now and the very ones creating this mess will be destroyed by it.
That comment that you may have heard in passing, why not a have a National ID Card? If you have nothing to hide then it’s not going to hurt you. National DNA will be a big help for the laws of this nation.
Fingerprints or Social Security Numbers will not cause one-third the havoc that DNA will cause. Remember the big games that photographed everyone who attended them, they are already a part of a regularly searched database. And that job you couldn’t get might depend on your merged health records from your DNA. The spouses you might marry, the children you might have, the insurance you might want, and the products you might buy will all have direct reference to that “secret” National database. Right now, and for years past, your names and addresses are sold through every institution that has them from the Banks to the Library, to the Auto bile Registration to the voters
Registrations. What a fantastic windfall to now be able to use DNA from National ID’s. People’s histories are already being traded to Walmart, eBay, all Banks and Credit Institutions, and places one can’t imagine. And I’m not even going into the Propaganda Media. I’ve got a headache. I suppose by the time this is read the word headache will be keyed and I’ll have a thousand ads and offers on my computer and in my mailbox. Oh yes, I don’t have to give my email or home address to anyone. I'm sure they already have it.
I’m going to cover my eyes for a while and listen to music until tomorrow comes.
