Why Walk Off A Cliff When Everyone Wants To Run?
I now know why they call something a miracle drug
because with all the side affects and possible new problems
it is a miracle if you are still alive
and there is no guarantee after you pay for it that you will be
I now know why conditions stay the same regardless of who is in power
the people most devoted to changing things don't
have the stomach for the charade
and people make profits on the fears of people
who fear those with less
I now know why the more news I digest the more depressed I get
news isn't about information it is about entertainment
the cup Miley Cryus threw up in
takes precedent over the lack of prenatal care in Detroit
What I don't know is how and when the course correction can be implemented.

One of the many things wrong in our society, it's such a domino effect.. to fix one we need to fix all.
Well scribed Mr Jazz, excellent piece!

Hi Jazz
There is lack of EVERYTHING in Detroit....
they are letting it FAIL.....
As for "miracle drugs" - LYRICA
a drug promoted for fibromyalgia
gave me so much pain, I thought I would die....
It was supposed to REDUCE pain...
Then my rheumatologist said only 1 in 4 patients
respond to LYRICA = lie rica = a lie...I nearly died....
By the way...both in the USA and Canada have huge beaurocracies which do not talk to each other.....even if they have your SSN/SIN...
at least Canada called it a SIN....
Sinning is the answer...
Cynically yours
Kitty

I don't consider myself a cynic; I have faith in the "power of the people".
The stats about maternal health in the US blew me away.

I have more faith in your generation then perhaps you do. I think there are areas where things are better then even just a few years ago. I know in my area we have rivers that couldn't be used because of the pollution that have been cleaned up. Animals have returned. I don't think the fate of humanity is ever fixed in stone.

I agree its not set in stone but look at what children are being raized on. tv shows based on violence and crude humor. there are hardly any "mothering" types left in this world. most people set their children down in front of tv's now a days! its a crime!

This is no different than Rome before it fell - distract the masses with bread and circuses while you take what you want for yourself. It has ever been thus...

I see one big difference. The Roman Empire didn't have the power to eliminate all humans from the planet. I doubt that it would even take half of the US Nuclear arsenal to do the job.

The Human Condition will sort things out in the usual way. Hate will do us in again sooner or later...sadly Jazz.

the report should offend EVERY US citizen and remind the rest of the world that in this respect they don't want to be like us.

I didn't even think of it that way but after watching John Lennon, Rare and Unseen, I have found evidence to back your statement about music.

"and people make profits on the fears of people"
the same thing could be said about warmongers and suppliers of weapons of mass distruction...
love the aphorism in your thoughts!

As I mentioned to Milkmoondancer, I have been "under the influence" of a certain Beatle. Lennon's words are filled with aphorisms. Harrison as well. McCartney and Starr not so much.

At first I trying to reply with an aphorism (thanks to Vic), but he might do another competition. (actually I rarely enter them, but that is another story)
Thanks for the read.

Bad news is good news, drama is good news, new news is good news, old news that was bad news with a lot of drama becomes news, again. Important news is irrelevant news when not relevant! *and she breathes*
Good read Ted! Xo

I have used these words before, guess we will have to deal with the "Dirty Laundry" while looking at "57 channels and nothing on" and being "Comfortably Numb".

Are they or are they "blowing in the wind"? Maybe we know the answer but don't want to implement? Socrates? Plato? Where are ya?

You must be a mind reader because these thoughts have been in my head as of later.

The "cliff" became an everyday term when learning about Congress and the President battle about budgets. However,I will NEVER admit to being able to read anyone's mind, let alone a member of the opposite gender.
