I VOTE FOR THE CHOICE THAT’S NOT REALLY A CHOICE AT ALL. 07/31/16

It’s been three days in a row that I haven’t slept well.  Last night my perimopausal body decided to *rain-make* and I woke up several times in a cold sweat.  Minus the panic.  Thank gawd minus the panic. 

And I know of others in my small circle of friends, neighbors and acquaintances who also haven’t been sleeping well.  And when I wondered out-loud to a fellow yoga student the other day before class about this not-sleeping-well-thing-that’s-been-going-on lately with people whom I know, I also suggested that perhaps all these very uncomfortable *things* that are going on right now in American politics might be contributing just a teensy bit to everyone’s existential angst (you know, the one that’s there after you remove all the bells and whistles of the media circus  -because let’s face it, that’s what this is folks, and it’s COMPELLING, to say the least.  Especially when you see Mr. Clinton playing with BALLOONS on national t.v.  Compelling t.v., folks. )  The angst that has perhaps been there all your life, that tickles at your inner ear and your heart that something is just not quite right here, ppl .  That *special sense* that may also - every now and again - wonder who the fuck am I and why am in this box?  Well, at least that’s what my existential angst whispers to me.  Ahem. 

What this Political Circus would like to DISTRACT us from (which it does an ever increasing piss-poor job of doing lately, imho) is that while we wrangle over who is the MOST VILE of the candidates for varying degrees of Very Good Reasons,  the planet is being STOLEN FROM US right under our very noses.  And we are handing over the keys.  We hand over the keys every time we point the finger at someone else’s horrible behavior before doing a thing about our own horrible behavior.  We are all hypocrites of varying degrees, why just have a child and they will most certainly point out your most glaring hypocricies  to you on a daily basis.  Because at the end of the day, if what I SAY doesn’t match what I DO, then I have really got no business instructing YOU to do anything at all.   

And of course if I choose to play at this ridiculous game of "Who gets my (perhaps uncounted) vote", Hillary Clinton is my obvious choice!  I mean, lets face it ppl, she knows how to muther-fucking do her job…which we could argue back and forth about until the COWS come home what that particular job IS, but Hillary Clinton knows how to do it.  And if you didn’t know how muther-fucking qualified she is for the job of President of the United States of Amerikkka, well just read this here article and you will be muther-fucking schooled, once and for all.    

We are ALL complicit in the mess we have made of things on planet earth.  It does us no good to figure out which one of us is worse, when at the end of the day there is still a steaming pile of shit sitting in the middle of our shared-humanity dinner table.  I mean, who is going to clean up the steaming pile of shit, regardless of whether you and i agree on WHOSE SHIT THIS REALLY IS?!? Oh, right, that would be our children.  Like the time in the 7th grade when the 13 year old Sun came home from school asking if it were TRUE that we are currently scheduled to run out of drinkable water in the next 20 YEARS.  Or when the students were schooled about how BAD plastic bottles are for the environment, that we have plastic island called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch floating in the middle of the pacific ocean, yet the school vending machines sell bottled water.  Or how about the fact that we are being POISONED by our own genetically-modified FOOD, or by the AIR we BREATHE?

So yeah, if society as we know it (not the earth, the earth will continue to spin on her axis as she has done for last, oh, 14 or so million years without us humans giving her the finger on a daily basis) is going to HELL in a hand-basket, how would I rather go down?  Do I want to go down HARD and FAST, the way ANY meglomaniacal leader with lots of MONEY and POWER (and perhaps a big CHIP on his shoulder because his daddy didn't love him right) would like to take me down?   Or, do I want to be taken down gently, with Hillary’s soft touch, you know the candidate who's lifelong job it has been to hold the status quo so that I time to prepare a motherfucking TRANSITION PLAN or EXIT strategy our of this social experiment called Amerikkka.  Personally?  I want to be taken down gently, given more time to prepare, and perhaps sort through what my next big move is going to be, maybe get some passports in order,  purchase a couple more 5 gallon water bottles for the garage…in case of emergency.  I mean for fucks sake i'm an accountant.  I deal in money.  Which means I can plainly see that when a mere 80 PEOPLE own more than HALF the world’s entire wealth  (as IF you can actually OWN a planet) that the game is rigged folks.  It’s not rocket science; it’s just simple mathematics.  And, as James Carville coined during Bill Clinton’s run against George Bush, Sr., “It’s the economy, stupid.”

Because at the end of the day, if I am not able to earn enough money, working HARD every day to provide food, clothing and shelter for my family, I really don’t care what the fuck-ity-fuck my Prez THINKS of me, or what sort of vile names s/he might call me -  or any of my kinfolk – behind  my back, or even to my face for that matter.  I really don’t.  Honestly, is it too much to ask for you just to fulfill your fucking campaign promises?!? Apparently it is. But, as a career player in the Game of Politics, Hillary Clinton knows how to hold the status quo.  Oh believe you me, she KNOWS how to hold the status quo down TIGHT…it’s what she gets paid to do and she's been doing it most of her goddamn life. 

And anyway, it is my personal opinion that the President of the United States is not Elected , but rather, is actually Selected way before I cast my vote.  But again, I digress - my point is this: over the next three months and through the election results, I am happy to now be able to shut the fuck up about any “he said/she said” political theatrics about who I am voting for and why I am voting for them, and just point them to the direction of this Report.  

And make no mistake, although i will be casting my Very Important Vote for Hillary Clinton, i am by no means "With Her," nor will i be RALLYING around her.  

I'm with HER.
  

Carry on.
