It's Not About The Poet
It is about the art. If the criteria for literature was the poet is a nice person, most of the great literary and visual art and performance classics would never have become classics. I had a Communist tell me once that reading novels based on one philosophy says who you are. Bollox! I love it when a fascist egomaniacal personality tells me how to think. I read a bit of all of it. How else to know the world and how menwomen think of the world - words, paint, and ink are what historifies freedom of expression. People died for that freedom, that magic pen that is shadow to the mind and ghost to the soul. Write what you wish, care nothing that the mind control prone think you should not. I'll revise based on a fabulous criticism, but I won't alter the theme or the conclusions. No one is that good as an editor of my work. My ego will not permit censure or cooperative writing based on another's ideations and bullying.

I just read Lord of the Flies - and my head is full of didactics. Literally, I am "at sea" and afloat in types. What is unleased after civilization vanishes is a great premise for sci-fi and psychology. Not for the squeamish, yet there is a valuable lesson here for writers of any genre. The death of children touches the pocketbook, I mean the heart. 700,000 plus copies of LOTF in print - oh are we all not a lil bit jealous?

I liked the portrayal of the bullies who ultimately won the populous. Killing and meat and lots of loss of thinking, but oh the fun and distraction - the ultimate anarchist's paradise. Children without rules and authority tend to deteriorate tothe lowest stair step of human depravity - intersting premise, because there are so many examples in the adult populations of history. Why Pharoah's were gods, why Caligula had enough madness to demand worshipers, why the Republicans of today want to "rig/declare" report voting criterion changes to the government . Ah! What a challenge for State's rights lives there! What an ad that says "State, you can change the conditions for voting especially for southern hemosphere emigrants." And black people and some white people who vote for Democratic candidates. Oh what a tangled web is woven to gerrymander as many districts as possible. When will the DNC realize that it is time to war on inequity and change their own line drawn tendencies. I am not free if I am contained in a ghetto. The premise begins like this: "If you can't beat 'em, cheat!" I love this country.

I love this Supreme Court. I want to be just like Clarence Thomas when I grow up, the new (fill in the blank). Will he ever realize that however he votes, no one can remove him? Probably not, but his opinions tell me that he is learning the job and just has no voice except someone elses. That's pretty harsh, fair winds fascist, but how much power from the far left to far right impacts decisions at that level? Keep in mind where the wealth is presently concentrated.

Next, only professionals can determine the termination of a pregnancy because we need more American voters. Or, this preference over who goes to college or university should be fixed to exclude certain rising in numbers groups. Too hard, raise the price so only the wealthy can afford to be a leader here. That's scary. Lack of diversification is the equivalent of a civil war fought without bloodshed. Where have I seen this before - one population, one mind posture before? Just waggin, that's me again, bein' in other folk's business. Oh yeah, it's my right to write what I think, right? No, I am learing to conform and be accepted by the ruling majority of businesses who control the financial industry - bigger and more powerful than party or affiliation, house, senate, presidency, (jury is still out on the biggest Court of the Land - whether influenced by the most dollar holders or not). We know it is a war of ideas. Swing low, sweet chariot.
.
No censure for writers is my war cry, however, I'm still wating for the fat cats who let the real estate bubble burst and nearly crash the world economy go to jail and be fined all their fortune (ironically, not against their houses - ha!) I want to know who was washing money at the Vatican and for whom, I want names and I betcha there are a few gangters, a few Americans, and other fat cats on the list that will never be published. So the guarantors of the world work - If we get caught - nobody talks! Didn't I see a movie about the vatican bank that won some Oscars? Naw, this is stranger than fiction paradigm, not a foreshadow certainly. It is not about the wealth it is about the power. Neither can buy happiness, but if you can buy a few of the United States, that's nice.
.
One thing is certain, the gang is all here - everyone is checking the diversifcation of their portfolios - and perhaps, money untaxed will return to inside the borders of the U.S. (and her allies of the West) to boost flagging commerce in China and stop the migration of workers back to the land. As if the banks and financial institutions of the world need MORE dollars and euros. Maybe they are just trying to wait out a few bad decision outcomes of the past (oh say, 2008). Clear as glass, cleaned by the best glass cleaner in the world, I need some of those dollars. So do you.
