I Fear for This Country Whe the Last of These Leave Us
They are the glue that holds this country together

The song is awesome, it touches me- heavily- so, I'm posting the lyrics, which while looking at them brought something to mind- I made bold the words that made me think of what I'm going to get at-
This Land Is Your Land
Words and Music by Woody Guthrie
This land is your land This land is my land
From California to the New York island;
From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and Me.
As I was walking that ribbon of highway,
I saw above me that endless skyway:
I saw below me that golden valley:
This land was made for you and me.
I’ve roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts;
And all around me a voice was sounding:
This land was made for you and me.
When the sun came shining, and I was strolling,
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling,
As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting:
This land was made for you and me.
As I went walking I saw a sign there
And on the sign it said “No Trespassing.”
But on the other side it didn’t say nothing,
That side was made for you and me.
In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people,
By the relief office I seen my people;
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking
Is this land made for you and me?
Nobody living can ever stop me,
As I go walking that freedom highway;
Nobody living can ever make me turn back
This land was made for you and me.
Now, think about the words to that song- what I made bold- by the relief office, I see my people, as they stood there hungry -
Now, I'm asking- and pointing out what I see, about where we are now- the relief office- checks in the mail, direct deposit, etc., from Uncle Sham- I believe they/it (godvernment) knows what it's doing, which is not it's constitutional job (and please don't go off on the constitution in this thread- if you have an opinion on that use that forum, please) - but, anyway, they know they've fucked up royally so they're giving us crumbs (checks) to placate the ignorant stinky tourists- thank you harry reid (no, I don't have enough respect for him to capitalize his name, he is a lower case person)- we the people- but, what they give us is borrowed, so what do they really give us? The obvious answer is more debt- but, that aside- why? Do they feel bad about one thing and not another?
THINK! Folks- don't rely on presstitutes and alleged experts- form your own conclusions- you are capable in spite of what you're told to believe in fact, you could think for yourself to spite the arrogant talking heads and authoritarians who feel entitled to rule over you and your thoughts- in the Land made for you and me.
