In the midst of a war crime called Vietnam where millions were massacred with weapons of mass destruction in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos a brief moment of sane reasoning prevails. One such moment in the hamlet of My Lai Vietnam descended from the sky in the form of a helicopter gun ship piloted by Hugh Thompson.
As a Vietnam Veteran wrestling with the utter insanity of this conflict, those that preceded it, to the present day slaughter of people, their cultures, lands, resources and other life relations I am left resolute in the following:
10,000 years of city state, empire society’s are run by predominately 8 year old male children that got big but never grew up.
Until the women and especially the grandmothers are held in the highest regard both in our homes and high councils the 8 year olds will never truly grow up and the insanity continues.
Humanity has precious little time left to resolve this brain dead approach to being. Neither “We the People”, the plant life or the animal life will survive this much longer.
Perhaps we need to set up a small part of some desert for folks that wish to kill each other, give them a canteen of water and let them go hand to hand in some personal combat. I would leave them there until they demonstrated a willingness to put aside their violent intent and live in a peaceful way among the rest of humanity.

To “establish justice” both sides of the story must be told. The link below is just one of many such storys that we all must learn to become “Just human beings”
I am left cold to the fact that in America such “Hurray for me the hell with you” folks have such an overpowering influence on the public discourse with no accountability or transparency to the fact that this is the top 5% “haves” mouthpiece using the “commons” (our public airwaves and infrastructure to attempt to crush the 95% “have nots” into complete destitution. They do this by attempting to control the policy making structure starting with the Town Clerk to the President, Military and Civil Servants of We the People.
The most sacred, important and vital part of our Republic is the security of our elections. Along with the bourgeoning prison populations in which the voter of this nation is lost, the illegal interference by 5 members of the US Supreme court in suspending elections in florida, thus a coup d’état, the electronic voting irregularities and unverifiability and now a spoken effort to push aside the poor.
This effort is sumed up below in the next clip on a speach given by Paul Weyrich the founder of the Heritage Foundation that is dedicated to destroying America by eliminating “Good Government” or the Goo-Goo affect.
Well we are now destitute as a nation because of these sentiments that move people to some false sense of rightous indignation against there neighbors and friends. The sad truth is we fall sway to the “Those People” conversations and a state of disregard to the Constitution which is about Justice for all. Social, Civil, Economic, Environmental and Criminal Justice or we might best recognize these civil society requirments as “fair play”.
When we buy into and act upon such retoric Paul Weyrich, Neal Boortz and others espouse, which is really nothing but hate speach ,the end result is we all get dragged down. Presently America is like a football game being played without the rule book, the end result is a Hatchett fight. Our rule book is the Constitution of the United States of America, the Supreme Law of the Land. It is for me an “all for one and one for all” cooperative of compassion and community.
Witness the affects of hate base politics:
