So I wake up this morning and turn on the weather on NY1 only to find that there is a terror warning issued for lower Manhattan (where I work) and midtown. Happy Monday! At least this time they gave us locations. So now I've got my kicks on in case I have to run for my life.
I'm getting fed up with the atmosphere of fear the Gov't keeps us in. It's so damn manipulative. And I hate feeling manipulated. Most of the time these warnings are so vague and bullshit scented I just can't even process them. I figure they'll start being specific now that we are close to the elections. To scare us in to maintaining the status quo which would be 4 more years of Twig (dude is not grown enuff to be a Bush). I wouldn't even put it past them to put NY in the crosshairs again since it was so effective the first time.
I just get so mad because I'm powerless and everything is ass backward. When did ass backward become acceptable? Was there a memo sent out saying something like hey let's flip the shit so poor folks stay poor, the middle class keeps scraping to try to get rich and the rich stay gettin richer.
A poet on Def Poetry summed it up so well. She said something along the lines of they tell us to keep working hard and nevermind that you don't have time to breathe. Then she ended the poem by saying she's just tired.
Truer words have never been said. I'm just tired too.
Later.............
