NOVEMBER IS THE CRUELLEST MONTH . . .

. . . breeding lies of saving medicare out of a confiscatory health policy, mixing fear and schizoid politics, stirring false hope out of a dead theology.

Will we ever learn? Political promises of a campaign, like the renewal promise of spring in Eliot's Waste Land, are but cruel jokes in the waste land we have become. Every year in America the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. It is spoils to the victor and greed is always the victor. Worse, not content to lay waste to our nation, the fascist power elite forcefully export their destructive capitalism to other nations around the world.

Where will it end? Large corporations now have the political and economic power to confiscate resources throughout the world. Already in some places, even the rainwater is appropriated and desperate citizens charged for it. Will the world's population become become merely the property of corporate owned governments.

It sure looks that way.
