I'm An Old White Male And I'm Disgusted Shocked Dismayed Angered And Sickened
All that's left is the screaming |
First things first, I'm an expat Canadian who has traveled a bit, lived in multiple cultures and now lives in the Philippines. Usually quite happily with my wife of twenty-five years. We are well educated and at time have been social activists. I'm approaching seventy and she is nearing her mid fifties.
Here's where I start speaking for myself:
Disgust, shock, dismay, anger, sickened are all good descriptions of how I feel about the games being played out around Kavanaugh, Trump's hand picked fixer for the Supreme Court.
Powerful predominately white Anglo/Saxon patriarchal families doing whatever it takes to maintain their power is not a pretty sight. Nor is it a pretty sight anywhere else in the world when powerful Chinese, Filipino, French, Austrian, German or any other nations elite use the same base and vile games to maintain their power.
Make no mistake, in every country in the world, the equivalent to 'Old White Male' runs things, and it hasn't worked very well for the majority of the beings on Planet Earth.
Perhaps the fast approaching American Midterms will be the beginning of a powerful and peaceful world wide revolution.
I admit that there is no guaranty that a rainbow of colors and ages ruling us will improve anything. However I can guaranty that they can't make it worse.
America, come the midterms get out and vote. Try to start the revolution that could save our world.
Please and thank-you.
Brian
