greener (screaming from the soapbox)

our color of survival in this country
that which will outlast the empire
that which will give us hope again
is much more green than
anything else---
where 14 million (on the books) are
out of work,
where anger is at an all time high,
where the homeless population of
one american city has gone through the roof
(40,000+ & that is only the number of those
in shelters),
and so many others will follow.

with people camping out &
occupying
with everyone who has a pulse &
who is not part of the 1% controlling
everything,
at this point, having had quite enough---
the ball CAN start rolling again if we accept the
obvious---
that is,
we can work on solving two problems with one
solution.

unless you lock yourself in an empty room,
screaming at the walls,
you must see the weather changing,
you must of heard of that
global warming thing---
and you don’t have to be mr. mckibben to understand
that if there is something that needs doing,
and it isn’t being done,
things will get worse.

you don’t have to be a genius to know
that in the current capitalist nightmare,
if you don’t have a job,
you will not survive &
the financial turmoil of this country can be dealt with
by improving the lives of those out of work by
bringing them back to work---
pure & simple.

tossing out the desperate continued reliance on
unrenewable resources,
replacing them with a green philosophy,
where care for our environment walks
hand in hand with the employment of the people suffering in
this country,
seems to be a
no brainer.

yes,
the building of high speed rails,
better forms of mass transit,
cars that run on any one of the number of alternative fuels or
systems
(already known & waiting on the shelves---put there by
JOHN Q. OIL EXEC.),
they all can be built
(as they are in other, smarter countries) &
it can be done with those that are presently
out of work.

you know it.
i know it &
the american people know it.
