Kindred’s Special: The Cry of the Constipated Ape, or; Bad News Russian Bears

When visiting the area zoo as a child with my brother and parents, I felt sorry for the apes and elephant housed there.  They all looked so sad and some were downright angry, so much so, that found them spewing spit aimed at my head ( thankfully there was a glass to protect visitors.)  Sometimes I think about the nuts in Washington, D.C. who play at being government protectorates of our once free and prosperous nation. Oh, I know the past. The indignities shown the cultures of the Indian tribes, merely described as the Red Men.  And I might just remind you of the hazards shown chain gang prisoners who were treated less than slaves.  At least the negro population that despised this term in favor of just plain blacks or African-Americans had a much better life than either of the previous mentioned.  The heritage of black folks and the American Indian tribes were likened more as fools, not recognizing the rich heritage of both groups.  And look at the immigrants from China who helped build the railroads and from European nations and South American countries that brought with them bountiful contributions which contributed to make this a true melting pot!  In some ways I see for so many as being financially caged, poked fun of, ridiculed, as being like those apes and the elephant who were uprooted from their territorial homes and free to roam the plains and swing in the tree tops that provided their food, protection and lifestyle.  In words:– distrust, spite, hatred, love, envy, but mostly ignorance and lack of compassion and understanding by educated whites who, in the majority, felt entitled to the fruits of the Land. Such was the greed and corruption displayed that even education and wisdom did not prevail until good folks began to see the light what we have all been inherited with.

The United States of America has undergone a host of trials and tribulations.  The term ‘remedy’ is hard to swallow in the minds of those whose modern birthright as citizens or green card holders whose ancestors may well have occupied this continent from the very beginnings of foreign invasion.  Those invasions were to profit the mother countries by explorers.

I think about those apes and the elephant in bondage for the benefit of visitors; the rarely shown interest to bring aid to various species assuring their continued existence in a world vastly different through the time machine of centuries past. I wonder often about the politicians who act like monkeys.  They certainly monkey around while our beloved nation has been victimized by greed and corruption.  For sure, great nations and lesser nations perish from outside but more so by the permitted ruin of human error of character and judgment.

China’s military armies and navies are on the rise.  Leaders are more militaristic.  Modern weapons no longer guarantee safety for our people with technology, financial stability and purpose of values and principles upon which our greatness is founded.  Our leaders are deaf mutes to the transgressions of other nations and Peoples where their values of society differ greatly from our own, not that we are a perfect specimen of righteousness.  Our history proves that.  But how we view others is security of our own value system.  And Russia, the long cold war adversary and death of hundreds of thousands that included the murder of the Czar’s family, and Hollywood making light in comical sketches via movies on Communist Life, one such being by the actress, Greta Garbo has become increasing hostile to the United States by V. Putin, a former head of the notorious KGB and now dictatorial ruler of all Russia.  Former World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov continues to feature the shortcomings of this dark shadow on the world stage.

So you see folks why I have given no further talks on the political scene so far as President Barack Obama is concerned or the decay of moralities among the government machines, whether it be the Chicago mobs, or Washington screwups from the White House down.  The people spoke; the people–dumb as many are just ignorant– now find their individual votes do count because it was after all the individual vote that put you and I being witness to the decaying future and survival of The United (Broke) States of America.

God Bless Us One and All and may we find leaders who will lead from the front and not from behind.  Those who lead from behind mimic asses and that reminds me of the apes.
