Sometimes I sits and think and sometimes I just sit and stink.
Our Founding Fathers were pretty good at reconciling the concept of freedom for well-heeled white guys and a conspicuous lack of freedom for people of color or the poor.
Our Founding Fathers had some clear ideas about personal property. Their slaves were their slaves, their plantations were their plantations. Native Americans were the original Socialists and in many cases the original True Democrats. 'Course every time kids play cowboys and Indians everyone wants to be a cowboy...
'Cuz the Indians got butchered.
Little King George W. is the lucky one, he gets to
be a cowboy...
For real.
So... while we read about lofty ideals the truth of the matter is that someone somewhere has always gotten screwed. There's a centuries-old tradition of makin' well-heeled white guys whole. Or better than whole. Rape the land, kill all the buffalo, pocket the cash.
I'm sure there's a time-honored tradition of gettin' yer willy $uc&ed in the Oval Office. It's only recently that the decorum of the Presidency has been breached and it leaves me to wonder, would we hear about it if we didn't want to hear about it? We like the drama, we like the show. What's music without drama? Bo-ring, that's what! Where would Monica be if Bill kept it in his pants? Who wants to see Paris Hilton wif her clothes on?!
Bo-ring!!
