This Carbon Based Life

By David Glenn Cox

Somehow, somewhere out in the ether there is a message for us in the gunning down on a public street a healthcare CEO. For just a second like a flash, America is captured and frozen as she really is. Mean, ugly and violent. Hear the crowd roar! See them smile and giggle under their breath. Americans hate their healthcare system and relish their glee at the bloodlust.

So, Americans in their infinite wisdom just elected a man who will hand their healthcare over to a man just like the one gunned down on the street. Americans turned over their healthcare to a lying lunatic and the Billionaire boys club. It really does make you question self-government sometimes. The King has been working on a better healthcare plan now for nie on a decade. However, it is still in the formative spitballing phase. Obviously, if the King does anything to improve your healthcare it will be on accident.

But that is what Americans said that they wanted! They wanted a reactionary big mouth blow hard to get after the illegals and stop the Trans peeing in the wrong hole. Healthcare? Oh yeah, I forgot. I hate my health care. Outside of a few Don Quixote reformers charging the healthcare windmill. No one in authority really wants to change the system. There is too much money at stake coming to the people who run the system.

Imagine a kennel filled with Pit Bulls eating steak. And you plan to walk in that cage and take their steak away from them? From child care to assisted living, cradle to grave money, money, money! A money fountain of generational wealth to dance naked in. And if you need more money just demand it! No controls! Free-market baby bend over! It’s not collusion, it just got out somehow how much we were raising our premiums and they followed suit with a similar number.

Americans hate rules but love rulers. The keep electing the people who hit them in the head. And then they complain of soreness. This is the darkness descending on cheering a public murder. Maybe we can bring back the gladiatorial games or Monday Night Hobo Boxing? You can’t say polite society anymore, they aren’t. The lowest common denominator in American society is often zero.

Why would someone act out such violence? When any grievance could be easily resolved in America’s fair and balanced court system. Just a billion-dollar insurance company, you and a judge. You want to fight about it for three months, fine. Three years? Sure. We’ve got the time if you have the money. They’ve got you cornered six ways from Sunday, but you love your ruler like a god. Even if he does nothing for you. Like serfs on the steppe dancing naked in the moonlight rejoicing in their freedom.

Younger Americans have never seen this country united or mobilized. Never seen a goal accomplished or a promise carried out. John Kennedy said, “We’re going to the moon.“ Nine years later, Neil and Buzz. George W said we were going back to the moon…snore. Recent events have shown us less prepared for lunar travel at any time since about 1965.

The New Deal built a new America, and that generation watched it happen and understood what could be accomplished. These following generations have seen nothing to indicate any possible improvement through government intervention. If you tell people long enough that government can’t work, they will begin to believe you and stop asking. Homeless people only exist if you write them down on government forms. No forms, no homeless, problem solved!

The King plans to build CAMPS for the homeless. All hail Big Brother! Will the homeless be able to come and go from these camps freely? Will they be able to keep their pets and personal belongings? Will there be medical treatment and psychological counseling available? I was just being a smart ass, of course not. What they have in mind is a concentration camp. Round em’ up and lock em’ down! All hail Big Brother! He made the trains run backwards. Gonna make Merica the kind of country any billionaire would be proud to own.

I want a triple Buster Brown big slob Burger with lots of extra cheese! A pig sized order of fries and a large Diet Coke. Then for dessert, cookies and ice cream! Then back to the house for the Charlie’s Angels marathon. Then Football all weekend. Yeah, I hate my healthcare, but football and Farrah Fawcett! Trained to be powerless and addled. That is something new for Americans. They’ve never been cowed and corralled and corroded as a people before. That’s probably what makes them so mean. That’s why they wanted the mean candidate. They really want to see somebody get it!

The knowing frustration that getting ahead in America is only a fallacy. Everything you gain through your effort will soon be taken away from you by your billionaire betters. The frustration in feeling the game is fixed against you but with the unwillingness to try and do anything about it. But to cheer when one of the inner Party members is struck down by Goldstein.

“Ha, ha, ha the rich bastard got what he deserved!” But he will soon be replaced with another droid from sector seven, extra security hired, and the system will move along unmolested. Americans cheer rough justice served up between Netflix and Starbucks. Just so they don’t have to do anything themselves. Just let the problem fix itself, I’m busy.

“It isn’t sufficient just to want – you’ve got to ask yourself what you are going to do to get the things you want.” ― Franklin D. Roosevelt

“They are not just going to give it to you. Maybe, if Americans are unwilling to fight for it, they don’t deserve it in the first place.” – Thomas Ott Cox
