Democrat and Chronicle Obituary

Alan: While growing up, my experience with nuns was GREAT. 

Less than 10 years after World War II, The Mercy Sisters taught us there was no need for Catholics to believe any soul was in hell, and we must pray for the eventual salvation of all souls, including Adolf Hitler. 

I realize this will make many readers uneasy, if not angry.

What I can say -- and of course it's "only" personal opinion -- is that such teaching served me and my four siblings really well.

Here is a blog post I assembled earlier today based on a remarkable occurrence in my brother's Gerald's life. 

Ger has always been a champion of hard-luck people -- wherever he finds them -- and he goes out of his way to find them.

"Homeless, Addicted, Poor, and Hungry…" Brother Gerald

Over the span of his jawdroppingly generous adulthood, Ger has been a champion of the Sisters of St. Joseph - https://www.ssjrochester.org/Default.aspx?RD=3799 - who founded the School Of The Holy Childhood for special needs children in 1946.

George Carlin

"You Have NO Choice," A New Frame For George Carlin's Classic Shtick "The American Dream"


The United States Of America: "We're #1!"

Alan: A fundament of George Carlin's thought - perhaps the cornerstone of his thought - is that, over time, responsible citizenship eroded and eventually transmuted into (capitalist) consumerism. 

When the United States crossed that threshold, suddenly, citizens became consumer units.

Here we are, decades later, not so much a nation of sheep as a nation of Pavlovian dogs, although the latter presumes the former. 

Consciousness --  however rudimentary it may have been before this sea change -- was conscious enough to realize that "The 1%" (not yet called "The 1%") was essentially hostile to the interests of "the working class." 

There was, by The Nature of The Beast, an intrinsic conflict between over-the-top rich people and all the rest, especially "the poor."

And, as a result, "poor people" knew - in their bones - that labor unions (and other forms of "class action") were indispensable if there were to be ANY hope of controlling the irrepressible urge of "The 1%" to sequester all wealth. 

I realize this bald statement seems outrageous - impossible on the face of it. 

But it is substantively true. 

The "dream" of ultra-rich, planet-destroying Capitalism is to make all production automatic, and then, in effect, to "snuff" everyone else. 

Whether this yearning to eliminate "everyone else" takes place as a "Final Solution" exterminative event - or as gradual mass sterilization - is inconsequential to "The Filthy Rich" - "The Ungodly Rich."

Make no mistake. 

They want it all.

And although the boom/bust cycles at the heart of unbridled, Cowboy Capitalism pretty much ensure enough social upheaval to create epochal revolutions, The Dream endures.

New Recordings With Caribou

"Learning To Fly"

"Behind Blue Eyes"
 
"The Kids Are Alright"

"Desolation Row"

Often, I rush the last couplet of "Desolation" verses. In the following verse, 
I come in too soon with "And though her eyes are fixed upon Noah's great rainbow"
Of course we've only played this song twice, and I think it's pretty typical to be impatient
with "new" songs.
Ophelia, she's 'neath the window for her I feel so afraid 
On her twenty-second birthday she's already is an old maid
To her, death is quite romantic she wears an iron vest
Her profession's her religion, her sin her lifelessness
And though her eyes are fixed upon Noah's great rainbow
She spends her time peeking into Desolation Row

I also jump the gun on the last couplet of this verse:
Dr. Filth, he keeps his world inside of a leather cup
But all his sexless patients, they're trying to blow it up
Now his nurse, some local loser, she's in charge of the cyanide hole
And she also keeps the cards that read, "Have Mercy on His Soul"
They all play on the penny whistles, you can hear them blow
If you lean your head out far enough from Desolation Row

Trump Turned The Dogs Loose: The Thin Veneer Of Civilization

 Trump Let The Dogs Out | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

I realize the veneer of civilization is always thin.

But ever since Trump "let the dogs out" America's man-children (imitating Orange Toddler himself) are just itching to have their phallic parades to demonstrate manliness and strength...

You know just like Jesus used to counsel his disciples. "Arm yourselves to the teeth my friends! And whenever you go out in public, be sure to "Open carry. At all costs be as menacing as possible. And don't pay any attention to the disciple I love, the one who leans his head on my breast while we're eating."

"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love." 1 John 4:18
If you imagine Jesus in the back of the truck (pictured below) egging on these man-child militiamen, I say - as God is my witness - "Your Jesus is not my Jesus. In fact, he's not even Jesus" He's a figment of your self-terrorized imagination.
 The Enemy Is Inside The Gates | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
I just reviewed the story of Simon Peter taking up arms to protect Jesus from the encroaching authorities.
The obvious thing in this gospel account is that Jesus -- immediately after Peter tells Peter slices off someone's ear -- tells him to "put you sword back in its sheath."
This sudden display of bloody violence is so impressive that the most shocking part of the story -- basically overlooked for 2000 years -- is that Peter cut off the ear of the High Priest's slave.
A slave!
A guy who's an innocent -- and oppressed -- bystander.
A guy with ABSOLUTELY no interest in the High Priest's policies.
A guy who probably despises the sonofabitch.
A guy who who could very well be a Christian "sleeper cell."
And zealot Peter - perennial dimwit, getting it wrong yet again -- cuts off a slave's ear.
Imagine a Yankee cutting off a plantation slave's ear in Gone With The Wind, and you'll get a glimpse how ridiculous it is.
I mean...
Dumb-as-a-rock Petros...
At least have the balls to cut off the high priest's head.
Don't go pickin' on Uncle Tom.
***
Well folks, you heard it here first.
And I'll bet this is the last place you'll hear it.
