And I then become mystified and imagine that pieces of the universe are so dysfunctional that no matter how strong gravity may be things will never fit snuggly again. What seemed to make sense once, when scrutinized closely again, was never the reality I imagined it to be. What might have had moral value, ethical fortitude, or simple courtesy is now on an enemy’s list and emerges as a villain ready to pounce and ruin.

In Arizona an American as perceived by another American as being a non-American can be asked to show his papers to prove citizenship. No other variable except I think you are an illegal alien is necessary to stop a person and have them demonstrate their legitimacy. Sure, sure this questioning is supposed to be done by the police and in Nazi Germany it was uniformed squads also who could stop any German from freely going about their day. Uniforms are not barriers to bigotry.

Health Care, all part of the equal and fair pursuit of happiness of this nations founding, is now an evil charm created to change America from a democracy to a socialist nation. Those who drown in self important religious dogma swearing that God fought the Revolutionary War and wanted all Americans to be good Christians are the first to scream bloody murder and demand fair and equal access is the Devils work. This is America they shout and if you want something you must pay for it, and if you can’t pay for it then you don’t deserve it. Don’t think the God who signed the Constitution imagined that something as capitalistic as health care would be available for all.

We are preached to that it is about the economy, ONLY, and as those sour words drip and drool from the lips of the Republican/Tea Party politicians and their handlers, the only laws generated to date have to do with the denial of personal rights and freedoms. More time has been spent on denying Women reproduction rights, Gays from formally marrying, Workers from earning fair wages, and Minorities from even voting. Its about jobs, the deficit taxes we are continually warned while the division between church and state grows smaller, the wealthier remain richer, and Corporations buy elections.

Fox News lies yet they are the most watched news network. Romney refuses to take a stand on any issue and he is running neck and neck with Obama. Vets return home from two wars unable to get the kind of mental and physical health care necessary and Dick Cheney gets a second heart replacement. Bristol Palin has a bastard child and she is paid to be a spokesperson for an abstinence only group and for being nothing more then a side show at a circus gets a reality show on Lifetime. Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Riley, Sean Hannity, are millionaires yet those with no money believe those men are their soldiers for fairness. The Oil Cartels receive tax credits for making billions in profit, yet the middle class and poor are expected to pay more taxes and receive less services. And Romney thinks too many teachers, police and firefighters are a drain on the economy of the US.

And then I become angry, agitated wondering if there is a right or wrong. I consider the facts and that maybe greed and gluttony do pay off. I contemplate the question why do good things happen to bad people and do believe bad things happen to good people. The universe in which I currently live seems altered. But then maybe it always has been that way and only now I have seen it for its misfortune malignant, maligned nature. 

I hope not, oh God I hope not! But then we have to wait for November 6 to find that out.
