The Non Americans

But it is only natural for those forced to live in the wreckage of the storm to live our lives wet to the bone to become resentful of the dry. Because those who are dry think they are dry because of some ingrained superiority not because they just aren’t wet yet. That because they are dry is proof enough that the system is strong and superior. Excuse us if we laugh because we non Americans have paid our tuition to the college of the kicked and know that if you don’t fall you will be pushed eventually. Besides we don’t have much else to laugh about.

How is it that we can be such a stupid society? The Germans fell for a demigod once who promised them pie in the sky but Americans fall for it every seventy years like Haley’s comet. That capitalism without control is no different than an alligator pond with the chicken house on the Island in the middle. That the measure of society is the health of the bottom not of the top and that it is all interconnected and indivisible.

The numbers of non Americans grow by the hour wise beyond their years of the holes and the larceny of the system. They carry with their pain the truth that it is not they who are the non Americans and soon very soon it will be a majority opinion.

For the levees will never hold without a strong foundation at the bottom and even a fool knows that the strength of the mightiest oak is in its roots not in it’s closest leaves to the sun
