The genocide in Palestine and the biocide in the Gulf of Mexico cap what we have known for a long time but have not been able to stomach, that bad money is in charge of the US. And that is not all. As an earthquake instantly vaporizes faith in solid ground the enormity of our support for the cornered wolverine of Zion and for criminal negligence in ocean drilling wipes clean the cluttered landscape of rule by law in America. The underlying rock is rule by money. It’s been money since the first pilgrim stepped on Plymouth Rock and we’ve been lied to ever since. To this day our finest protesters, ANSWER, Code Pink, Public Citizen, Planned Parenthood, you pick, send out bulletins “Tell Congress to XYZ”, “Tell Congress no more money for war”. It’s over, menwomen, put the apple pie back in the Major Brands box. The time has come to admit that we have willingly supported a government we know has been lying to us for the simple reason that capitalism has given us a season ticket to Disneyland.

We calmly ignore the encroaching police state. We put up with the insane auto commute, putting zero effort in converting Vashon to electric transport. We put up with Bangor. The problem with America is seen in all its intricacies right here on Vashon. We are beyond hope.

As one tries to recover from the sickening worship of war conducted on PBS yesterday, here is the beginning of a veterans interpretation of the meaning of Memorial Day. Link follows:
A Memorial Day Press Release from some American Veteransby Jay Janson / May 31st, 2010
We Remember War Victims of all Nations!! Mourn War on Memorial Day!
Some American veterans of wars call for a return to the healthy purpose for Memorial Day, which in Columbus, Mississippi, April 25, 1866, was to bind its town and the nation together in mourning the million-and- half soldiers who died killing each other during our tragic Civil War. A day for mourning the dead of both sides, civilian as well as military, in national fellowship intended to put an end to hatred for the other side, end lust for war to settle differences and see a United States of America restored.
