The Apology...

Sometimes apologies seem hollow and in fact dangerous.
You have to take into consideration that actions speak louder than words.

Cognitive Dissonance Alarm Box...

Super secure device that automatically locks away
 all those thoughts and concepts that would otherwise cause disquiet.
With this device you'll never have to bother with 
the anxiety produced by people and situations that don't make sense,
 or would indeed lead to a challenge in your 'status quo'.


With handy red flashing light that tells you a migraine's coming on...
without the bother of ever having to think through or grapple with
whatever is really bothering you.

What's The Question?....

It's always OK to question,
 and one of the most important things to question is authority,
 because things can get pretty messed up if there are problems with who's in charge.

Who Wants control...

Whether it's Uncle Sam   (from the right)
or Uncle Ho  ( Ho Chi Min, from the left)


What they all really want is control
It's not Left or right,
it's right or wrong.

THEN IT DAWNED ON ME...IT'S ALL ABOUT CONTROL

When you first see it, you can't believe it.

You may have certain doubts and questions, and usually you think something like..."it must be me, or, I must have misunderstood, or maybe I'm too judgemental."

Then as time goes by, and things continue...you see the same tricks over and over.

Subtle undermining comments and actions, veiled threats, often accompanied by some sort of false flattery,borderline bullying...a certain drawing of the lines of division "your obviously not going to cooperate with everyone else, etc."

Perhaps lectures or talks or reminders of how you should be conducting yourself...being more forgiving, not gossiping, more submissive or more of a team player (team player, meaning doing what your told, not asking questions)

You may withdraw, you may observe, you may draw conclusions.....however you'll be waiting forever to see things spontaneously self correct, or change.
