"Cowboys & Indians" - an American Revolution

I had a friend just re-post this touching piece, it inspired me to touch on the subject and bring my own views of an old travesty to the table, just following this unknown authors writing: ‎"Before our white brothers arrived to make us civilized people, we had no prisons. For this reason, we had no criminals. Without a prison, there can be no criminals. We had no locks nor keys and therefore there were also no thieves. If someone was so poor that he had no horse, no tent or no cover, he got all of this as
gift. We were too uncivilized to be placed on personal property value. We intended only to property, pass on to him to. We did not have money and therefore the value of a human being was not assessed according to his riches. We had no documented set of laws, no lawyers, no politicians, therefore we could see each other not to cheat. It was really bad around us, Before the whites came, and I can not explain to me how we could do without the basic things that - as we were told -. for a civilized Arm are so necessary ".

This is very touching. It's very true. It is sad to see what our European ancestors brought with them to this part of the world. I try to forgive what had been done to the Indians by European (White & possibly Spanish from Spain) ancestors by simply detaching and non-association or identifying myself as a direct decedent from what has happened in past times. I like to tell myself that Europeans who came to this country were nothing like myself, and their travel here was born of necessity, escaping from their own life failures from within their own countries, they came to this country and founded America with the hope that they would create a better life and therefore a better country.

One problem... they first had to steal it from the Indians, round them up and move them to another chosen land... mission accomplished. I recently watched a 20/20 special on the Indian Reservation and how they were moved there and given funding from the government, which apparently was a direct result in their culture being lost and many of them becoming lazy and alcohol addicted. I don't agree entirely that these types of travesties towards the Indian's is a good enough excuse to lie blame entirely upon these circumstances.

I believe we all have choices in life, and as long as we are not physically being held captive, chained to a large bolder, or encased within a steel box, then, we have the freedom to choose to stay, and the the freedom to leave, to participate and react. It sickens me to think of the evil that has taken place in decades & centuries gone by... I thank God that I do often disassociate myself with so much that happens here in the USA on a daily basis, I feel disconnected from it, like I don't belong, as if I my soul was longing to return to a land elsewhere, which it may have migrated from. I believe most of these feelings are a direct result from a lack of being able to control all the "FREEDOM" we have here in the US. We have so much "FREEDOM" that we feel invincible, entitled, unstoppable.

So many as a direct result are completely unbridled and participate in what ever they wish, be it right or wrong, Citizen or Government... even Banks for that matter. We are above the law, we twist it to what ever shape we wish, we apply it whenever and to whomever suits us best. Many times we look the other way and allow injustice to prevail. And therefore in many ways our justice system has failed us, because it is being ran, weighed and applied by those of us who have forgotten about everyone else, other than ourselves. Essentially we are infected with corruption, influenced by our own life decisions throughout the years, amounting to what we now know as our "Civilization".

"I long to someday move from this wonderful country that is now overrun by politicians and get back to a place where there is not so much FREEDOM! That FREEDOM to choose right from wrong, which we should not even have the right to do anyway! When should wrong be a choice?! And the freedom of GOVERNMENT to choose apparently whatever they wish, which seems to be the golden key to claiming the treasure within the chest, the very chest we all fill through our daily purchases and again in one large donation each years end.

Americans as a whole have much to much freedom. We feel so free that we claim that freedom as our American right! We claim it and utilize it on a daily basis, it entitles us to excuse the lack of teaching our teens and children, who now don't think twice about destroying another's property and or taking another's life. We are raised without respect, honor, pride. We are so free, we have become lazy, and sloppy, as some work harder to pull the weight of the ones who have chosen to embrace the NEW American Dream. All while others in distant countries live their life with fear of God, fear of government and many times the fear of social outcast. And are actually in surveys and census reports, fingered as the "Happiest People in the WORLD!" America the country we all know is #1 is actually #14! Below Panama #12 & Israel #8! (LINK TO LIST) I am quite sure back when the Indians were the Americas, if someone stole from another they would loose a hand! Literally.

There were basic HUMAN LAWS, laws which were not written on paper or set in stone, but basic feelings of right and wrong which were guided by an inner spirit, and if any of these laws were broken you were shunned, cast out, ridiculed and punished in very different ways from today's "civilized" society. I find our modern society quite ironic, in the very way that we use that term "civilized" because to be civil would convey that of organization and the respect for what is right and for others, be the "others" human-beings and or animals. You are also expected to assume being "civil" would embrace having honor as well. Most... if not all of these ingredients are missing from our culture today.

We punish each-other for our differences, be them physical or mental, we steal, we destroy, we fight against one another, many times resulting in loss of precious life, which is not even given as ours to have the choice to take, which I would also conclude is essentially the raping or stealing of a soul, forcing it from the human body and causing it to reside elsewhere.

And as for "honor"... it is something of the past. We are a "ME FIRST" self-centered nation.
We have lost our honor in many ways. We are greedy, we are disrespectful, and we are proud of it in many cases. We boast as children, teens and eventually honor-less adults to one another. We grab all we can, we take what is not ours to take, and we destroy what is not ours to destroy, and we do so with pride and "bragging rights" to our peers.


This is what I would call "Barbaric". I can almost assure you that there was fear of God & fear of their "Human Laws" instilled within the Indian culture and in many other cultures throughout the centuries. However, not these days... we have: Graffiti, Killings, Theft, Capitalism & Rape & the list goes on and on... the world we all have been forced to know has now spread to the good old USA, and we are becoming increasingly forced to now live among-st it. That world is complicated to an even further complexity when you throw Government and all the capitalistic B.S. that shakes hands with it into the mix.

Not to mention all of our fraudulent practices and the get rich schemers. Law suits every direction you turn! And the direct result: Disclaimers printed everywhere on everything, even on the simplest, of our daily encounters... Styrofoam Coffee Cups "Caution Contents Hot"!

We have all been so self-consumed that we aren't even aware that "We" are the cause, and "Hedonism" is the effect.

NPR & PBS - Funding Cut!

Cutting funding for public creativity, art/music is effectively cutting a major artery in the right arm of every American. In times such as these children and adults alike need creative release and entertainment to ease the pain of the daily horrific reality of our current affairs. It seems odd to me the political decisions made during critical times that actually aide the demise of the spirit of America as we once knew it. I understand political B.S. and a corporate mentality, and it is exactly these practices which are destroying many lives time and time again. Please make the right decision and let the people decide NPR & PBS's fate. Government used to be for the people and by the people, it seems it is no longer our choice as Americans, we are now at the mercy of a handful of political thugs.

Much more on BP and our American Government below...

Much of this disaster is due to a lack of action. President Obama has a good sales pitch if you are easily distracted. Hence the "LOOK OVER THERE"!!!
His stand is that of "we have responded with unprecedented resources". To do exactly what??? Apparently to start toward the clean up of the oil gusher? Here's a news flash for you Mr. Obama, the "damn hole" is still NOT PLUGGED! Which means you are attacking the wrong area on your list of "to do's", that should have been NUMBER ONE! NUMERO UNO! Everything you have spoken thus far is exactly what I have seen you profess to be against in your speeches on this "Global Environmental Crisis", I am referring to WORDS! They are quite cheap! The way I look at this STUPID and needless environmental destruction due to political greed is... If I had a hole in my backyard that had money spewing from it, I too would probably not have the motivation to plug the hole right off! However, I am not too sure I would feel that way if that currency happened to be polluting my back yard and my neighbors yards as well! And at this point we haven't any exact or close to exact number on how many millions/billions/trillions of gallons/barrels of oil are polluting our seas DAILY! This is an International catastrophe and I believe it requires Mr. Obama to seek some help from our International Governments to assist us and ultimately themselves in the cease and containment of this massive gusher polluting our seas for what will surely be centuries to come! You can see President Obama's plan of action thus far at:

http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/26184891/vp/37568416#37568416

Listen closely, because there are some EXTREMELY KEY WORDS with in his interview that are being said directly from our US President! Words that are meant to distract and give the illusion of something more that is taken place, other than what has actually being done.

I will point out a couple KEY POINTS here: Mr. Obama states basically in a nut shell, that when he/we the US Government has asked critics what they would or should have done in this particular environmental disaster? The response from the critics has been "SILENCE". Apparently those individuals, who were never named and may not even exist, had NOTHING to say! I am quite sure many of us have an opinion on how to attack this issue do we not???

I would love to ask if they have tried, I mean physically attempted to plug the gusher with layers of netting/mesh to slow the flow, which would enable them to then add layers of rubber sheeting and ultimately tons of large rock/boulders and possibly some sort of cement or mortar substance to secure the rock/boulders and stop this gusher at least temporarily until a better solution has been found and or attempted??? My guess... NO! Money, Money, MONEY! BLACK GOLD!!! Basically spewing from the earth!

Another MAJOR KEY WORDING he has allowed to slip in a smoke and mirrors/slight of hand kind of way... is: Mr. Obama states that they have basically "EVALUATED" many different ideas which were given to them and had they "THOUGHT" that any of these ideas which were offered up, "WOULD HAVE WORKED" then... they "WOULD HAVE DONE IT". Which deciphered means: WE HAVE NOT TRIED ANY OF THOSE IDEAS WHICH WERE GIVEN TO US, BECAUSE WE FELT THEY WOULD NOT HAVE WORKED! WE NEVER TRIED THEM! He continues on and on... which I will not! I am about done at this point.

BP (British Petroleum)... a UK or a US blunder?

This recent BP blunder apparently has had UK feeling as if the US lies blame upon, or faults the entire United Kingdom for the recent BP blunder. Is our president Mr. Obama in charge of our country? Does he not have the power to fix this issue? If he doesn't, then I haven't any idea who does??? And furthermore, how is a single organization/industrial company allowed to make such a critical decision on their own without multiple permits and clearance period! Are we all sheep??? Don't we question the obvious any longer?! Shouldn't our US Government have been regulating situations such as these and our recent "economic meltdown"! And when someone or something goes wrong... what does our government do? That's right US Citizens! They point fingers every which way but the obvious direction! When did we start holding an entire country responsible for a single company or individuals mistake/blunder just because the individual or company who F'd up happens to be of native origin of that particular country?!! Who is ultimately responsible for the well being of the US Citizens and legalities of running this country? How many of you would have allowed such a decision to be made by a single company period!? Let's mend our US/UK bridge and lie blame where it should! On a single company and a single US President! Not an entire country of innocent people who have had NOTHING to do with a greedy and careless mistake! Show the UK we as Americans are too intelligent to lie blame on an entire country due to the actions of one company or individual from that country! I have raised the "Union Jack" along with "Old Glory" to show my support to the English people, in my attempt to drown out any loose/careless comment by our US Government.
This recent misunderstanding truly makes no sense at all! It's like saying the US is responsible for Mc Donald's and Mc Donald's is responsible for making the the world OBESE!

Stand up and be counted??? CENSUS ME!

Okay... another governmental tool that enables them to use YOU (which is very cost effective) to provide them with the information they need in order to stay on top of your business. I can not see any reason why the government would need to know if you have a mortgage on your home and how much that mortgage is actually for??? Nor, can I see a reason why our government would need to know what nationality you are in order to build bridges, fix roads, provide funding for school teachers as well as state and city employees! And I have no idea why they would need any of us to do their foot work, after all how many of those governmental agencies that are over staffed with employees who are suppose to be in charge of our national security etc... are actually sitting back right now in their air conditioned personal offices, enjoying company provided Starbucks Coffee, from their in house Starbucks that was personally delivered while they lounge in their over-sized leather chair and enjoy some company provided Internet porn as they contemplate whether to take that vacation in Fiji or Monaco? All while many of us continue to loose our jobs, healthcare, homes and transportation?

"Richard Peacock is running for president"

That's right! I have decided that I would most likely do a much better job in that seat, so, I am officially announcing that I am "throwing my hat in the ring"! I have had enough of these guys in office doing a half ass job! I have been closely studying all the blunders over the years and I can honestly say that I know exactly what NOT to do at this point! And I am pretty sure I can do just as good if not better of a "half ass job" as the next guy! So, there you have it... April fools!

Healthcare... the Un-American way? Continued...

Enough with the US Health Care debate! It's not about a perfect bill, a perfect system! That day will come, oh let me see... the day after NEVER! It's about improvement and room for it! The bill may not be anywhere close to perfect, who knows? Only the House Reps. and Obama at this point, but, I can honestly say that our system is broken without any bill in place and we have to start somewhere. If not now, then when? And with what structure? The only individuals who are against this bill are the ones who either fear the unknown and have nothing but what they have heard from the higher up on the food chain, or, fear they are going to be the target of higher taxes and, or, fear that the government tell them which procedures they are able to have. I guess they don't mind having the insurance companies and HMO's make those decisions for them. The government getting involved should only regulate prices and put a tourniquet around this blood thirsty system! As we are now, they can name their price and there is no one to stop them in their tracks! The insurance companies will either approve it or deny it, either way they are passing the costs onto YOU the consumer!

Healthcare... the Un-American way?

I don't understand why everyone thinks socialized medicine is a bad idea? Republicans and Democrats alike have been chasing each other's tails over this subject for a while now. Look, I come from a long line of Republicans, however, I am a free thinker and really never choose one side ever! No one really knows what is about to happen here with this bill, period! All we have are the "what ifs"! What if the government takes over our health care system, what if they tell me what procedures I can or can not have? What if they penalize me for not having health care? And everyone else is screaming mad about health care for everyone! Do you have any idea why? There are no real concrete answers at this point! Are you going to be one of those people who have none of the facts whatsoever on this bill and just because the "Government" tells you it's bad! It won't work! And it is Un-American! from where I stand that is not such a bad thing! Go ahead get in line! Sheep! Of course they are against it! Someone up on capitol hill will probably have their salary cut to pay for some of it! Someone in the White House will have to pay a little more in their taxes! All the mega rich will have to help out the poor a bit by paying more tax toward the health care system! Come on, do you or anyone else you know make more than $200,000 a year? I think you'll be okay then! The guy with the most money when he dies wins right? Wrong! You can't take it with you! Let's get real people! They have been doing it this way in the UK! Ireland! Switzerland! Canada! And most of the other great countries in the world. And let me tell you, if you look at the happiest and healthiest people in the world they definitely do not live HERE in the US! They are actually from countries where the Government pays for their education, pays for their health care! Countries where the Government pays them to take LONG vacations! And they work probably about half as much as we do here in the US of A! And! They are not sending their troops to countries to fight wars that are truly about nothing more than the manipulation of where we stand on the OIL barrel! Health care for all US citizens to me seems like the least of our worries! I mean come on, how can you truly think that our health care system will get worse by being regulated by Government? Its like this, say you have a company that corners the market on a product and there is NO competition what so ever! And that company/manufacture can basically do what every they want! They can name their price and without any regulation and or competition well, it seems to me they have a great monopoly going there! And when it comes to monetary gain at an others health expense, that is just too much like taking advantage of ones misfortune in the worst way! When a health care provider can decide if your heart gets replaced, or if you get insurance at all, then... Damn! I could go on for EVER here...
