It is a scientific fact that when put under stress, the human brain downgrades to the emotional, animalistic, survivalist thinking.  I have friends who talk about "reptile brain".  Others call this flight or fight.  It's the thinking and body response that is reactive as opposed to responsive.  It's the way of looking at the world as a dichotomy.  It gets us nowhere.  There's so much more than black and white, there are many more that two kinds of people in this world.

The last eight years have shown us this.  Our nation has been ruled by fear of terror.  Our resources have been pushed to the brink.  Our soldiers abroad don't have the resources they need because they have been hastily sent off to fight a war against an ideology.  There harder they fight, the greater the ideology grows.  The more soldeirs we send, the greater the "enemy" grows out of a simple case of retaliation not unlike what we see growing in gan warfare on the much neglected homefront.  And yet, our government is so taken with "protecting" us... we've lost our borders, we lost the value of our currency, we've lost our economy.  To the international community it appears we have lost our identity.

When we live in a state of fear and reaction (which are completely ego-driven emotions!), no one is a true friend.  Every person becomes a means to an end.  We lead a shallow, self-centered existence.  Greed, hate, and delusion.

Please consider this the next time you hear a pundit or politician pontificating about "them" and how "they" want to kill you in your sleep, want to destroy the way you live and our way of life.  Who will answer that call at 3am???  Breathe into your heart and feel your chest open and allow your mind to open up and consider it more deeply.  Don't buy in to the fear.  If you truly have anything to be fearful of... it may be how these people seem to want to profit from you being fearful.  What is with that?  What would you say yes to when fearful that under a better mindset you'd see as an overreaction, a ruse?

I am not saying that there aren't bad people in the world.  It is clear that there are just as many "bad" people within our own borders and towns as there are halfway across the world.  Wouldn't it be more beneficial to take on the issues closer to home for once?  It does take a calmer mind to look closer to home.  It also takes a calmer mind to not fall for the overseas threat, but to see a greater threat in how some seem to profit so well in sending everything away.

I am so fucking sick of HIllary Clinton and her underhanded, gossipy, suggestive, backstabbing, bullshit.  I am convinced she would throw Chelsea under a bus (to quote Melanie.. I'm no plagiarist) and have someone in her campaign say.. then fire them for saying it... that it was all Obama's idea.

Does anyone else remember her talking about  the youth of today being useless, lazy and materialistic?  Then (this is what clinched me not liking her anymore)... in her early desperation to outdo others in campaigning.. sent her daughter to go speak at Spelman to get the young black feminists to vote for her.

Working to get the delegates from Michigan and Florida!?!?!  WTF?  Geee, let's see.  Clinton lost those delegates because she broke the rules.  But then.. had her name on the ballots anyway?!?  And now is working to get those counted.

I'm not surprised.  I'm just disgusted.

We all knew this woman in high school, didn't we?  She'd smile at you, praise you in debate class for your classy defeat of her... then trip you in the hallway, tell everyone in the locker room you had sex with the Bio teacher to get good grades, cheat off your paper in French, then report you to the dean for copying off of her. 

In debate... the rules don't apply to her.  Let's not answer the question.  Let's go back to what she wants to talk about.  Let's go overtime.  When things don't go as she wants, claim everyone is being nice to the white guy republican and black guy opponent... but being mean to her because she's a woman.

The ugly kitchen sink attacks, the ugly atomic bomb attacks....
This is NOT a babe in total control of herself.  This is a person who doesn't have any desire to play fair.  Status Quo.  Same old same old.  Same Shit, Different Day.  Ugly flashy shallow politics as usual.

I used to love her. I used to have great respect for her.  I even forgave her idiotic racially "insensitive" remarks early on.  But I don't know if it's power or greed or pressure from the frightening underbelly of political powers that be that have oooozed out as the race continues.  It's truly brought out the ugly in her.  I don't see her as a role model for myself or my daughters.

SO so so so sick of it.

Evolve, people.  Take the higher ground.
