So I am still sad, still shaken that the last Kennedy brother is gone. I think that Edward Kennedy's death brings up the loss of my own parents and the security of that generation-they provided so much that I was free to explore, free to rebel. Now it is up to us and I don't know so far the leaders of my generation seem to want only riches and they don't care what has to happen in order for them to get rich-"flipping" houses that they bought at inflated prices and will sell at even greater inflated prices so that little folks such as myself cannot afford rent-we have to pay for the inflated mortgages. this has created a city such as San Francisco wheere really only the childreen of the very wealthy grow up and in Berkeley where a two bedroom apartment is $1500 to start.
My generation, talking about my generation idiots who listen to FOX news and Rush Limbaugh and who vote for the likes of Reagan.
Chris Hedges-he does "get it" just saw a short piece owith him from You Tube of a talk between him and Christopher Hitchens, (the little pest) who I cannot believe people take seriously. What an aggravating little thing with his childish whining about Christianity and the other religions such as the worship of Allah. He is a drunk with many unresolved emotional conflicts and yet he is still sought out. Hedges goes on calling out to us to wake up while Hitchens whimpers aaabout the suffering of women in child birth and through the childish beliefs of early Judiasm,Christianity and Islam. Myself I rebelled aainst my early upbringing due to those horrible words and thought regards women and sex, women and physical hygiene-men are so afraid of blood. I thought of how the verses in my favorite psalm came to be used against women "formed in the deepest, darkest parts of the earth" one morning stepping out of the shower remembering the days of menstruration how the blood would clot and dry-men would have been grossed out and of course women needed to "go away" until they were "clean" again and could make men happy.
