Bamboozled.

This does not happen often to the Mensawarrior. Got involved in something........maybe shouldn't have. Well, onward. Regrets are for losers.


So....Big things are happening in Arizona. Militant racist Mexicans are vocal, and shrill and 3 seconds away from violence. Things are being said by these people that would be tolerated by no other ethnicity.


States who should be neighbors are turning against Arizona - showing a horrific lack of camaraderie. In a small and minuscule way, the same thing is happening in the hamlet of San Tan Valley. Where she should be surrounded by beneficent neighbors, she struggles against a sea of back-alley, protectionist forces as STV tries to incorporate. What a wake up call this has been for the Mensawarrior. Used to large battles - used to large issues, this reductio ad absurdum is petty. But with millions of dollars at stake, with future growth being decided, it's a worthy issue. Just as the state of California, and to a degree New York have shown themselves to be less than brotherly, there are folks who sit on City Councils who are more worried about the radius of their town boundaries, rather than the boundaries of Pinal County.


Weary.


In the midst of a President who is putting American interests last, a financial system that is held together by twine and Elmer's, a planet spewing oil, an ecosystem groaning under garbage and toxicity, money that isn't worth the paper it's printed on, moral decline and perversion touted as virtue....I mean really, WTF? What is really important? Spending your paycheck and ordering more Pay Per View?


As my personal world cracks and the fissures of discontent bubble to the surface, it's just hard to soldier on. And how is your day?
