When The Going Gets Weird by Mikel K

"Things pass, and the best we can do is let them really go away."--Paulo Coelho

“The face of the enemy frightens me only when I see how much it resembles me”--Source Unkown

“It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.”--Buddha

"Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?"--Abraham Lincoln

If you are the type of conservative who gets his news from Sean Hannity, and Rush Limbaugh, and believes that Ronald Reagan, and The Bushes, were great presidents, to quote Tom Petty: "Don't come around here no more." If you are the type of conservative who is going to say that I don't love the troops because I made a Facebook page joke saying, "Obama got him, and Bush didn't:" don't come around here no more.

We've killed Osama, and the thought comes to mind: who are we going to hate now?

We have to have someone to hate. Otherwise, how is the military industrial complex going to continue to thrive? We used to hate Russia. We used to hate that guy who ran Iraq like it was his own personal candy factory. We killed him, and did the world change? We have killed bin Ladin, and will the world change? We have to have somebody to hate to feel good about ourselves. There is an enemy, even if we have to make him, or her up. There will always be a new enemy. The Super Bowl is an every day occurrence. Kill. Kill the enemy.

I know; I am not a good patriot. How dare I be pissed off that Ronald Reagan, and Don Rumsfeld colluded to get rid of the head of the FDA so that Rumsfeld's company could dump the poison aspartame on the market, resulting in much cancer, and death, amongst US citizens, and letting The Donald kick back on his very own large Texas ranch.

I really don't know what I am talking about. I am fed little bits, and pieces, of information, some of which I choose to grab onto because they fit my belief system. I don't believe in Corporate Amerika, but I do believe in growing your own garden.

What the hell does aspartame have to do with the killing of bin Laden?

I hate when people pull the YOU DON'T LOVE THE TROOPS card on me. We can invade any country in the world, drop bombs on innocent children in the name of acquiring oil, and opening markets for freedom, but if I say that that might not be the most polite, nicest thing for humans to do, someone will say that I don't love the troops.

The troops do what they are told. They are pawns in the game. They are the young, and the poor, among us trying to find a way out of what they were born into, and move up the social, and economic, chain. I love the troops. Every time that I see them in an airport, I go up to them and give them a hug. The Hare Krishnas look at me like I'm weird.

Obama wants to get reelected: he would kill anyone. Just kidding, but wouldn't most politicians do just about enything to get elected, or reelected? What goes on behind the scenes, jelly bean?

I have a friend in Australia. We talked last night.

Mikel K Poet: Australia didn't get Bin Ladin, AMERICA DID.

LeeAnne Leslie I really don't find joy in the death of things. -

Mikel K Poet I understand what you are saying. We should have captured him, and then hung him like we did that guy from Iraq.

LeeAnne Leslie: Unfortunately, the death of one man will not end terrorism, or bring world peace. If people are happy he is dead then they are happy. If the country that killed him feels some kind of satisfaction at that achievement then, again, they are happy. I though, personally do not find any joy in the murder or death of anything.

There was no cable, and no internet, in the $1 million dollar mansion that bin Laden was living in when he was killed. I almost feel sorry for the guy. Can you imagine living without cable, and internet?

Most of my problems exist in my head; I create them. I have battles with myself, which don't need to be fought. Fortunately this occurs less, and less, as I age, and I'm an old fucker. I don't much remember being young. I don't much remember anything but now, which is supposedly good: to be in the now.

Remember Sergent Schultz from the old Hogan's Heroes TV show? (I'm showing my age now). Schultz used to say, "I know nothing. I see nothing."

I concur with Shultz. My name is Mikel, and I am powerless.
Time to look for a job. Is anybody hiring?
