Michael Moore's latest project You Tube... My Letter to the Editor...
["CNN: Wall Street 'Better Watch Out' for Michael Moore"; as submitted to You Tube by mmflint on 2/17/09; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7FfPrf-X_Q]

Letter to the Editor - sent out (one never knows who will actually publish it) to a number of different papers today [I also sent another one out, but I won't zap you with two :)

Bottom line, if I can do this stuff, You probably can (check out the links in the sidebar!) too!

Letter:

"Enough of this greed on Wall Street! Enough of this pathetic whining that banks need more bailout money! Enough of me having to go pawn old jewelry to TRY to pay MY taxes! I think the Vampires have sucked up quite enough of the people's labor, trust and blood - don't you? Let the big banks that have been exploiting (in my opinion) the American people (via unjust usury and all sorts of trickery) "go bust." Help out the smaller banks, if you must, but with serious accountability and low CEO incomes as part of the package! And - consider the people too! Because, as far as I'm concerned I'm (along with a whole lot of other people) owed some money by at least some of the big guys on Wall Street, simply because their unethical (at best) and corrupt (at worst) practices have been such an absolute and total (America is better than this!) disgrace...

If I want to donate blood, I'll go to the local blood-bank, thank you very much! At least they pass it on (as is expected) to others that are in need!

Come on folks! Get a grip! This is about humane principals, accountability, justice and the future of the United States of America! And there aren't any intelligent people that I know of - with the true facts in hand (and no greedy self-serving agenda up their sleeve...) that would support anymore big-bank bailouts!

In fact, I keep hearing from the wise and the weary (we are becoming anemic, I fear...) that it is the low to mid-income American people (just take a good look around!) that really need bailouts! That it is, in fact, the American family (Don't we deserve a break?) that represents the only TRUE "not-for-profit" institution in America - and that as this mystery of sad history continues to unfold... the Government might want to consider sending some of the monies exploited via the all-too-often abused not-for-profit industry (check their books too, will ya? Especially the "religious" non-profits...) on to the American people, as well!

Signing off... I have to go take my folic acid pill...

Anyone else having trouble just staying ALIVE?

[Perhaps vampires, like tics, tend to burst after gorging themselves like this?]

Ah, one can HOPE..."

I serendipitously found this site and I'd like to say that I agree with your sentiments 100%. I especially feel that it’s certainly criminal the way big business interests award all the bonuses to CEO’s who have nothing but failure to show for their efforts. Whether it’s paid with pre-bailout money or actual bailout bucks it’s nothing less than "LEGALIZED EMBEZZLEMENT" any way they slice their American Pie--they get the hot-out- of-the-oven best pieces for doing nothing but sitting on their fat butts scheming and dreaming of more ways to compound their profit margins on bungled/bundled mortgages or Ponzi pyramid plots while we, the people, don't even get the crumbs because they lick the pie plate then trash that, so no trace exists except in their gormandized, distended bellies and then down the t/bowls the next day. Organized religion, like tax-avoiding organized crime black market specialists, has skated for free long enough and has become too separated from the reality of Economics 101. If you want to live in a democratic society that chugs along on the theory of progressive taxation and capitalism there are no free rides whether you are Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Shinto, or whatever. Enough is enough already—rabbis, priests, pastors, clerics, imams turn over your tithes to the government before we all go to hell in a “hardcasket” or hand basket. To echo Dennis Kucinich—Wake up, America, even the alarm clocks are armed and in a dangerous state or are in an alarmed state and cannot function, figuratively speaking. There are plenty of mature adults and responsible children who need no mechanical means to awaken themselves so they can go out there into the world to try and make a difference and not emulate the greedy bastards who only care for themselves and merely pay lip service to their pledge to follow the code of ethics and to uphold the constitution whether they’re on Wall Street, in city halls, either house of the legislature or in oval offices (past). The only fee paid is the lip service one therefore none in this place where the original description of the settlers in the ‘new world’ used by the ones whose land we stole was ‘white man speak with forked tongue’ so this bifurcated mouth tool used to express our thoughts and schemes is still alive and well in the legalized crooks abounding all around us.

Wow, you are a powerful writer! And you had me sitting here crying (a good thing, because demonstrations of compassion, courage and integrity tend to ignite my tears...) again (I also cried when re-watching the PINK video we discussed below).

I guess my blog doesn't quite fit the strictly political (nor partisan) script... so it doesn't get airtime through that venue...

And it doesn't strictly fit (since I do deal with a lot of social / economic / political issues here) in the creative / artistic venue either...

So either I have to tip folks off about it... or they tend to stumble (like you apparently did) upon it by accident.

I guess the newspapers (having a very difficult economic time of it, as well) might view us bloggers as competitors... and thus (?) they won't publish our blogsite addresses (I have found this to be the case, anyhow) when we write letters to the paper, etc.

I don't see bloggers as news competitors, however - at all. I LOVE newspapers! I simply think we bloggers are able to wholistically (via music, video clips, etc.) and interactively add another dimension...

Anyhoot, off to start my day...

I can't thank you enough for your posts. They are truly well written and inspiring...

Sometimes (I guess this is part of the tears too...) this seems like a really lonesome (albeit creative; and I hope, contributive) journey.

Keep shining!

tears of justice served
are prisms of perspective unnerved
where the tiny lachrymal crystals
cleanse our souls and baptize our brains
out of attempted brainwashing basins
to the ether of eternity
in the upper-most mindful section
where the Almighty was conceived
in either of our respective images
whether we got the message from our Creator
and were endowed with sacred or inalienable rights
we as a nation not of sheep on the compost heap
but as sentient thinking humans must right the wrongs
left on our bloodstained hearts by Bush
by bringing him to court and let the people decide…

pinchas werba,

Would you mind if I placed your comments / poem on a posting of their own (most likely accompanied by a photo from my stock and/or a video)?

You have a LOT to say and you say it (are you a published writer?) EXTREMELY WELL.

I don't need to know your identity. Your screen name and permission to "blog" this will do...

What do you think?

With much respect,

NS

My Inaugural [Barack Obama 2009] Poem (Copyright, NS)
My New Year's oath
To you and me
Was to become
All I can be

To live my muse
Pursue my dreams
With every drop
Of energy...

And courage
Drawn up from
My toes...

The fear I've known...
The fear I've known...

Handcuffed and chained
To walls of pain
This year, I say,
"No more."

And, as I stand
Before you now
A poet, dreamer,
Silly clown...

To celebrate
Obamas day...

I have to say...
I have to say...

Though I am white
My oath is true

My commitment firm
I've much to do

For I am, indeed,
A lot like you...

My freedom card
Long overdue.

And, although each day
Can be tough to face

It is worth the price
Because all our fates

Depend on you...
Depend on me...

On everyone struggling
To be free...

From the pain
That holds us back

(So much locked up inside)

Speaking its truth...
Speaking its truth...

Through all the tears
We've cried...

I really tried to hide...
I really tried to hide...

But this is the year...
This Is the year...

That I've been
Waiting for...

This is the year...
This is the year...

I finally say,
"No more."

And join
The chorus
Of voices
Singing...

"We can!"

Quote and Poem (Most are Longer) from "Sunday Screw"
"When a child is allowed to die because he has no place to live, what is it? It is murder. Write it down" ["Elizabeth"; Character in a book by Jonathan Kozol (1988): "Rachel and Her Children..."; Crown Pub.; P. 144]

Poem ["Sunday Screw"; N.S.; iUniverse; 2007; P. 5 (Reformatted for Inclusion Here)]

"Trapped in Eden"

Vice:

----- Anger is gnawing, like a rat, at your insides;
----- Envy and lust breed within, stifled cancers;
----- Gluttony and greed await your command miss;
----- Sloth says don't listen; he promises warm bliss.

Virtue:

-------- I feel no anger; only love grows within me;
-------- Envy and lust, sir, are traits of a beast.
-------- I live to serve, not to gain, for my God sir,
-------- I labor for all; why don't you do the same?

Vice:

----- Your cheeks have reddened; your palms are sweating;
----- Your heart is pounding in concert with mine.
----- I believe you are lying, your bright eyes revealing,
----- Hungers and passions your words would deny.

Virtue:

-------What you say is not true, sir!

Vice:

----- Oh yes, dear, I'd say,
----- You are caught in a biblical snare.
----- Seven sins court you; this garden deceives you;
----- You stroll through a grand serpent's lair.

Virtue:

------- My conscience is clear, sir; I've nothing to hide;
------- Your sins, they mean nothing to me.
------- My heart is pure; I have nothing to fear;
------- Leave me now; just let me be!

Vice: (Laughs then and shakes her)

----- You self-righteous fool!
----- You had a choice of great sins!
----- But instead you choose pride,
----- The prettiest lie.
----- And your torment my dear, just begins...

Quote and Excerpt from "Ode... Book I"
"The longer... ignorance is persisted in, the higher and the more terrible becomes the price that must be paid" (Aldous Huxley; "Religion and Time")

Excerpt (reformatted for inclusion here) from P. 5 of "Ode to the Wicker Man" (Book I); N.S.; 2007:

"Call it what you will...

Label it hedonistic, ethnic, uncivilized, occult, fundamental, paranoid, traditional, religious, cultic, evangelical, Satanic, or whatever you damn well please...

[But] at least admit to this...

[One] cannot see angels, spirits, demons, Baron Samedi, Jehovah, God, Kali, Beelzebub, Jesus, Allah, Mohammad, Baal, Yahweh, Satan, Osiris, Set or little green extraterrestials in one's bellybutton...

[Unless] one is in the midst of a psychotic breakdown, experiencing delirium tremors, suffering from an extremely high fever, or on some serious brain-zapping drugs...

[And] if I (being female, Agnostic and relatively poor) were to walk around claiming to have a pink and yellow flamingo perched on my shoulder that whispers sermons to me, and graces visions upon me...

[Someone (most likely aligned with the rich, the powerful, and/or one of their favored institutions)] would probably lock my as* up...

[And] pump me full of antipsychotics...

[Until] I twitched like bacon on a hot burner...

[Or] otherwise attempt to silence, contain, maim, or de-brain me...

So, what is up with "that?"

My pink and yellow flamingo "Godette" - a transexual bird that likes to wear spiked heals, by the way...

[Never] tells me to eat shi*...

[Doesn't] shi* on me...

[And] doesn't advocate or tolerate any kind of exploitation, abuse, or murder...

But then, perhaps that is the problem.

Do ya' think?"

Excerpt (reformatted for inclusion here) from P. 7 (Same Book):

"Have we all been under a Voodoo spell?

Does the mind matter when we pay "what matters" (honesty, kindness, respect, human dignity...) little mind?

Is the power of suggestion, deception, Orwellian "group-think," brainwashing, "mind control," and intensive social engineering [what] witchcraft and religion are really all about?

If your mom and pop "Voodooed..."

Your schoolteacher "Voodooed..."

[And] your president "Voodooed"...

[Do] you think you'd...

Voodoo too?"

Quote and Excerpt from "Ode... Book II"
"Serpent... a sly, sneaking, treacherous person" ("Webster's New World College Dictionary; P. 1310)

Excerpt (reformatted for inclusion here) from "Ode... Book II" [N.S.; 2007; P. 454]

"Amongst all else that has been put forth here, the number of poor children in the United States of America had increased - by 2004 - under Born Again Fundamental-Evangelical President George Bush Jr.'s "divine" guidance - by over 500,000...

[More] children were counted among the homeless than at any point since the Great Depression...

[College] tuition costs (particularly at the Community College level) jumped considerably...

[The] number of personal bankruptcies (often due to an inability to pay medical bills) increased radically...

[And poor folks... that turned to drugs as an escape and/or means of survival...

[Were] slammed into prison cells at ever-increasing and alarming rates...

[Whilst] corporate criminals were able to get away with the equivalent of socio-economic genocide and/or murder...

[And] the requirements for outside "objective" oversight and reporting in association with a number of State and Federal departments... were radically reduced or eliminated...

[An] all out "War on the Poor" (A. Huffington; "Fanatics and Fools..."; P. 340) ...

[Apparently] underway..."
