Do you know what I’ve learned in the five months I’ve had this blog up?
That some people care so much about what you write that they’ll pay people just to check you out.
At first I thought it was creepy
In the long run these readers made me realize the power of the written word.
Gracias Amigos
and this one
is dedicated to you.
Rod Serling gave this speech back in 1968, just after I turned four years old. (link at the end of this post)
In the wake of Jena, The ICE Raids and the Wars in Iraq And Afghanistan as well as the questions raised by the Patriot Act
one can see that
Rod Serling could have given this speech yesterday.
How sad and how utterly tragic that is.

Suddenly we are a nation whose new battle slogan is law and order.
Last year it won countless numbers of elections.
It’s the great new American euphemism.
Law and Order.
It is now interchangeable with God, Motherhood, the Constitution and the Holy Grail.
But how empty and how suspect is this sloganry when it points up the incredible selectivity on the part of America’s citizenry –how picky and choosey they are when it comes to moral outrage.

December 4, 1968
You have no enemies, you say?
Alas, my friend, the boast is poor,
For those who have mingled in the fray
Of duty, that the brave endure,
Must have made foes.
If you have none,
Small is the work that you have done.
You’ve hit no traitor on the hip,
You’ve dashed no cup from purjured lip,
You’ve never set the wrong to right.
You’ve been a coward in the fight.
——Charles Mackay
My friend Nancy sent this to me in response to my post
The thought was appreciated and I’d like to share it here and dedicate it to all of my friends who have ever stood up and spoken out.

Hi God
Sorry I wasn’t here to take your call but leave a message at the beep and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
Hi Anita
You’re not funny. Call me back.
God, you have no one to blame but yourself for that.
Anita, this is your Lord God
I expect you to obey my commands.
Call me.
Hi again God
My Cat expects the same thing, but I just lock him in my work room with food and water and put him on ignore mode.
He also goes to the bathroom right in front of the door, think about it.
Return my call- I mean it.
God damn, You’d really pee on my floor?
Maybe I need to remind you, I flooded the world. Start Praying.
WELL FINE!
Here’s it is My Lord God
…..
if you think that a Pee Threat
is going to get to me
try again
See you next Sunday
and
ahhhhhmennnnn
For those of you who like to follow the adventures of
Wolfgang A. Mozart
aka
I’m pleased to say that despite his health problems he chased two dogs out of our yard yesterday
(Okay, they were little ones…but STILL)
He’s growling at the Fire Trucks again
(won’t Max be glad to hear that!)
So the next time you’re feeling a little down
Remember that if a little Insanity can over come
Overwhelming odds
So can you

Speech delivered by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., on April 4, 1967, at a meeting of Clergy and Laity Concerned at Riverside Church in New York City
ICE agents set up at least two checkpoints on streets in Lynwood last night around 11pm.
They arrested at least 6 Latino men.
Legal observers spotted white vans unmarked at the Lynwood Police
Department (this coincides with the reports we have from witnesses). We are
going to continue with our plans to monitor in Lynwood in the mornings the
next couple days but now at mainly at the Police Department.
( from an action alert )
Before I left for work this morning I checked my wallet to make sure I had a copy of my Social Security Card, a pay stub and a copy of my birth certificate.
Why?
Beause the ICE Men are staying at the Hotel down the street from where I live and I look Latina- I’m Filipina but I figure to these guys we all look the same.
And then I thought…you know what, bite me.
Bite my multicultural backside
And I left it all at home.
Bastards.
