When did it all change?
Opportunity and success... two things that are tied closely together. The latter is impossible without the former, however, the former does not guarantee the latter. At least this is how I see things, how I have been taught buy history, life, and others. These are too interrelating concepts that are, or were, key ideas in the grand experiment called the USA.
Recent conversations... well to be honest arguments... tell me this has all changed. At least the relationship of the two concepts seems to have changed. And i didn't get the damn memo!! *shakes her fist in anger*
The first convo was with a business associate who looks down at me for my lack of advanced degrees, my lack of junk dangling between my legs, for my common (read honest) way I deal with others o the team, not to mention the color of my skin. He hides all this behind his concern and outrage at the social injustice that has so obviously kept me and others from being a success (having a 20year+ career, respect from peers in the same game, and owning my own small business is not successful enough to count I guess).
The second convo was with a person I grew up with. A person bemoaning the she is an alcoholic fucktard that is a leach on society (ok thoes are my words, she had a different description for her for the state of her life). A person that is angry at the she was not "allowed" to make more of herself, angry that I have been soooo lucky to have been given all that I have. She seems to forget that we went to the same schools, lived in the same hood, that she was given the scholarships that I was denied oh so many years ago
The two themes both the conversations shared, the basic logic both people seems to be following was that opportunity leads to success and that lack of success is indisputable proof that opportunity was DENIED! That SOMEONE took it away.
So all you fucktards out there who whine daily that you are not all you can be, rejoice!!! Its not your fault! Someone has denied you your place in the sun, someone has stolen the bread of opportunity from your very lips. How do I KNOW this? You are a fucktard without a Benz and 42 plasma TVs. This could not happen in a just and fair world so it is OBVIOUS that you have been denied opportunity!
As the obvious failure that I am, I feel so much better that I understand this new paradigm.

Random thoughts on Tibet...
Because I feel most people base their views primarily on emotion I have always thought of myself as one that looks more at fact. My strong negative views to the long running struggles of Tibet and China's recent crackdown there I thought was well reasoned and based on information I had read and processed logically. This was challenged recently by a conversation I had with a friend in world on the subject. After talking a bit and me spouting off my view, my friend asked me a few very good questions.. (It should be noted that my friend is an immigrant from China)
Friend: so you are basing your stance on what you have read and heard in the news over the years?
Me: Well yes...
Friend: news that is written in 30 second sound bites designed, in your own words, to get your attention and shock
Me: erm... well... yes that is true. But also from alternative sources like blogs and the like.
Friend: Blogs written by whom? Are they really reporting simple facts or is the information begin spun to match a political point.
Me: erm... Well... (seeing a trend here?)
Friend: Do you have any knowledge in your vast readings of the state of the region? Now vs. Communist rule from Beijing?
Me: Yes, several articles written in recent years on the subject!
Friend: And the authors of these articles have no political viewpoint on the subject they were writing about? The articles where written as a purely scholarly exercise and not to expound on a political view?
Me: erm...
Friend: Would you willingly live in a society that demanded you to be a Christian and follow strict christian law? Where your most conservative Christian preachers made the laws and ran everything? Who decided who would be would become part of the ruling elite?
Me: erm.... (by now I'm getting very good at this sound)
Friend laughs at me: Its nice to turn the tables on you every once in a while.
now... at this point I have to admit that my views on the subject ARE based mostly on an emotional response to an oppressive communist government and a naive and very limited understanding what religious rule is based on Buddhism. I'm going to have to do more reading so I can reduce the use of the "erm" sound in my next conversation on the subject.
It sucks to find that I'm just like everyone else.

How to buy power...
Nearly $351,000,000 million dollars have been spent by the big three trying to win the personal power and prestige of the Oval Office. Yes that is 351 MILLION dollars. Yes that is nearly 1/2 BILLION dollars. all spend through the end of February. See the numbers here from OpenSecrets.org. This is just insane amounts of money. Think of all the good things that could be done with that type of cash flow. All the good things that these critters running say they want to do with our tax dollars. I think there are entire federal agencies that operate on a budget of less then that. Hell!!! I'm sure there are entire countries that operate on a GDP less then that!!! For fucks sakes, if these people really wanted to do good things for this country why do they want to run for Pres? Why not use this ability to raise this kind of capital actually DOING something. Because its all about the personal power, the perks and the prestige. For those things these critters will plead with us with well crafted word on their lips and a hit of a tear in their eye because the CARE sooooo much. All the while holding out their hat and racing to place the highest bid. Yes, that is American politics for you, just like buying trash on EBay. Yes WE THE PEOPLE are buying trash... and have been for many years now.

Sunrise and a Rant
Such a wonderful day so far. Was up before dawn and was able to watch the sun rise over the mountains to start a new day. Sat there, sipping my coffee watching the world go from black, to shades of grey, then to a glorious blaze of color. I said my prayers to the four directions and then turned to the tasks of the day...
I work from home and I hang out on a couple of forums while doing my working. There as been much discussion on politics as once might guess given all that is going one at this time. But comment really hit a hot button with me. One individual made the statement that his was not going to vote as a form of protest....
WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?!?!
A person is willing to give up a FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT. A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT that is the basis of the founding of this farking country!!! THAT mindset is the farking cause of much of the problems we face in the US. The antipathy or the misplaced activism that leads one to WILLING give up a RIGHT. That is what the politicians want above ALL. The want to gather power by taking it away from us or (even better for them) us willingly giving it up. The politician here want to farking RULE not lead. As long as we LET them rule by not exercising our RIGHT to vote WE perpetuate the crap that has become the elected "leadership" of our country.
I don't care WHO people vote for. Red vs. Blue, Right vs. Left. I DON'T FARKING CARE!!!!! GET OFF YOUR ASS AND PARTICIPATE!!!!!
