Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and Uncle Sam

 

As long as we allow the current power structure to exist, we Americans are beating our heads against a brick wall.  Why do we continue to be confused by listening to the rhetoric spewed out by the Empire Builders?  All we need to do is to look about us at the crumbling American economy, the growing poverty, the collapse of our public educational system, the steady elimination of our free press, the attack upon our human rights, to know that we are being enslaved.  And we seem to be blind to the fact that the gated communities high on the hill where the truly first-class citizens live is doing just fine. 

But no, we Americans do love our Fairy Tales.  Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and Uncle Sam will all take good care of us.  We are the Good Guys in White Hats, dashing around the uncaring world trying to force...uh...share our way of life. 

Why is it so hard to see that our youth are being sacrificed to advance the multi national corporate government that is strangling free people around the world? 

The Curious Carl Plan is very simple.  I'm sure some will say, "Simple minds think up simple plans".  But nevertheless, here it is. 

All Americans in the Armed Forces will be returned to American soil.  Upon their return their weapons will be turned into plow shares, hammers, saws and the like.  Their new assignment will be to go into the countryside and rebuild America.  Our national defense budget will be spent on defending America from within.  New schools, new bridges, new highways and repaired streets, working as carpenters building up the fallen down slums of the inner cities, paramedics treating people who cannot afford medical attention, setting up full time child care centers to support working families.  The list is endless because we have been allowing the Empire Builders to suck our bones dry.  While we still have the resources to do the job we'd better get started. 

You know, and I understand that it will probably never happen, but if the majority of Americans just sat down one day and said, "We won't go back to doing anything until our government begins serving our needs", we would see a sudden change.
