Blast From The Past: A Parody From 2009

You notice how your sense of optimism may slip away when you least expect it....a slight irritation on the freeway may lead to noticing the dust on your dash and thoughts that you've been thinking of replacing your car, but money's a little tight right now and you won't mind, for the time being that your lifestyle seems to be sliding down a ravine! Cheer up! You're in good company! Everyone in The Western Civilization is going through the same thing. There seems to be an effort to systematically deconstruct our economy, the greatest in history and the kingpin throughout the free world! Hold on to your hats; we're in for a rough ride, but there could be a Robbing Hood robbing from the rich and giving (wink, wink, nod, nod) to the poor. Oh, and by the way, I keep flashing back to the various futures presented in "Back To The Future".
I wrote this parody in 2009 and decided to see how it was holding up after all this time. I know, I know it lacks polish, but I hope you'll forgive that aspect and just enjoy it. It was my first and I wanted the bar to be low enough so I could improve on the next one.

WikiLeaks, Julian ASSANGE On Democracy Now

Finally clarity! And courageous, too.

My DREAM of HILLARY Clinton | Why Wikileaks Julian Assange Matter

Truth is apparent where clarity resides. Chaos merchants thrive in obfuscation tactics muddying the waters of observation and then saving those in confusion. Traditionally those skilled at negotiations and some manipulation are known to us as politicians; a necessary component. As a complex collective society such as ours operators who can coordinate the millions of moving parts have a place, but the criminal element finds their home here as well as those with good intentions. And one rotten apple can spoil the bunch. We're incredulous that anyone would act so selfishly since cooperation is fun and rewarding for honest people.
