Poverty

Ninety million people in the US earn less than 30k a year, another 30 mil are out of work,

120 million are not rich.

This would be excellent in India,

that is...to earn thirty thousand a year,

dark deep poverty,

not hot dogs and beans poverty,

in Canada, west coast, even the homeless do not do…too bad…there are shelters and food banks that are excellent a couple of friends say so…

(in Edmonton they are not so kind…or soft…”just get a god dam job and stop whining”…they echo George Bush with a dose of liberalism…)

I got money i don’t have to…
or as a book called “
“What We say Goes;”
Conversations on U.S. Power in a Changing World.””by Noam Comsky.

While i mean independent.

The US foreign policy states

“i got lots and i want more.”

I say

Let’s abolish the slave wage mentality.

If i sell my time i can never get it back, money you can print, seconds you cannot…

time; a bank account that only runs down

J was born in Shang Hai raised very poor, being a fourth girl in a family of five she did not often get meat or even vegetables with her rice…

and now our fridge has lamb from New Zealand, Kim chi from South Korea, milk, mustard, you get the picture it’s full…

she had to work extremely hard and take many risks and she was lucky to boot…

and she enjoys her Las Vegas home and the i enjoy the openness of the desert which dwarfs a few man made buildings…

in the text books they’ll say..”they developed quite an advanced technology, they were even able to communicate through wires…but they could not settle their differences”…perhaps 100,000 years will be our limit, that’s the average of a species…

does evolution call for HTML to replace English as the crossover language.

Tonight I will be attending a report on slums being displaced, shoddy workmanship, and the use of child labor, for the commonwealth games, in India by the President of Acorn International Wade Rathke.

Also showing a Parasher Baruah’s powerful DOC called WASTE. Illustrating the need for ACORN India’s rag pickers union.

These are my problems;

a parking ticket at a $60 dinner

a trip to Shang Hai…

where should i winter?

how can i make the most possible money in the least amount of time?

how much is enough?

why am i living in the suburbia where i grew up?

is freud relevant?

how does the internet change psychoanalysis,

and what is the new archetype?

My problems are self absorbed and trivial…it is choice and not survival …but from my perspective it is personal,

and as the perspective changes,

as new platforms are developed, new meaning is required…

beyond the personal, is an empathy

for other personals,

that are very similar to yours…

i am often reminded…

Jesus was a bit of a drama queen but he seemed concerned with others and the “selfless” term is a common translation from Buddhists texts…and if that means helping people…. that’s fine



they have very little and we have very much…

This blog is helped by apeture…highlight a word and click,

cohesion arrives later…
