THE NIGHT BEFORE LAST
How is it that in the providence of our time, the information age (as all those who misuse information call it), there are no truly effective specialists? Any given field has a multitude of folks willing to give their ‘educated’ opinion, willing to wax intelligent as long as there someone convinced of the other’s greatness. Sit there and listen to an ‘expert’ flap their gums when people need real answers for the problems of our time. There are real explosives ignited around the world. There are real human bodies hitting the floor after poor policy. “Well, he knew what he was getting himself into.” That is what we say. I want to know where the leaders are. Where are the leaders? Who the fuck is going to take accountability for all this shit? We got nuclear reactors on the verge of collapse. We got every Tom, Dick, and Harry ready to fuck shit up whenever America needs to ‘get some’. But I want more too. Shit. Who’s going to run this motherfucker? We can poke ours dicks wherever we want but we have to own the consequences. Why do the people have to own up for their choices when the government doesn’t? “You karma has brought you here,” Krishna says to Arjuna. “Your karma has brought you here – to this moment.”
