This is an essential conflict, a healthy one. It inspires dialogue, hopefully, and enables us to evolve even if we don't always feel or think we are. >But this natural conflict is exasperated and thrown off-balance when we use these thoughts, ideas, sexuality, desire, and relationships to undermine others, ridicule, oppress, and shame them. We do it in our personal lives all the time. >Throw money and land, religion and megalomania in the mix and you have the opposite of solution/life/freedom. >Politicians and their Siamese twins- religious leaders and institutions, are not solution seekers, as we all know, but opportunists who continue to take human needs and rights and manipulate people, get us all worked up, distract us with unnatural conflicts of their making, and in the smoke and hullaballoo of our protestations make way with the loot. >I know, you're thinking, WHAT IS THE SOLUTION... >Death. >The death of our trust in God and Politics. >The death of our infatuation with money and property. >The death of our ghetto mentality in which the oppressed oppress the oppressed. >The death of our fear of woman, of sensual/loving man, of wildly beautiful child whom we shoot down instead of empowering and respecting. >The death of our homophobia and racism. OURS. Mine and yours. Not His or Hers OVER THERE. >The death of everything that tells us no, you can't. And self-loathing. >It's no easy. But it's simple from where I perch.
