The world is in turmoil...
The US is in its longest war... Afghanistan...
The Middle East was once the cradle of civilization... but now
is imploding... the absolute monarchies... Sheikdoms... on the
one hand and reactionary religious regimes on the other are
on collision course... and the Western world fanning the war
winds... The West has always stirred the War Gods... for their
profit... The profit motive is a powerful incentive for the 1% in
the "Western democracies..."
Russia craves a share of the pie too... The West denies them
that... and Russia embarks on a disruptive course...
The poorer counties are getting poorer... Climate change is
devastating their economies... The wars are murdering
thousands... Sudan and Nigeria and Congo and Somalia and
the Middle East... All of theses are creating a refugee crisis...
Refugees are everywhere... and refugees are resentful...
Reactionary religious groups are fomenting hatred in society...
The reactionary Islam in the Middle East...
Turkey will ban teaching of evolution in Turkish schools...
The Saudi monarchy wants to export its style of "Monarchic-
religious democracy..." Whatever that means... The
reactionary Saudi regime desires hegemony of the Middle
East... But the Saudis have encountered Iran... and Turkey too.
The Evangelist Christians want to abolish the social freedoms
of the West and in the US...
Organized religion is evil... Be it the Islamic-ISIS-Jihadists or
the narrow minded Christian-Evangelicalism of the West...
Indeed,
The world is in turmoil...
Religion is of no refuge...
The politicians of both the left and the right are kissing the ass
of the 1%... The politicians of both the left and the right are
acting like ass holes...
... and one man's solution...
***************************
Something to do...
It
started in 2012…
He, Jeff Reitz, was unemployed… His friend, Tonya Mickesh, was unemployed too…
They
wanted to keep their spirits up… so they visited America’s
amusement park… Disneyland… near Los Angeles…
In
order to keep their spirits up and bubbling… they started visiting
the amusement park every day…
Later in 2012 Jeff found a job... Tonya got a job too...
They went their own ways... But Jeff continued to visit the park everyday...
***
Now…
It has been 2000 days… Jeff has visited the park for 2000
consecutive days… and he plans to continue… Every day... at least till January 2018... He has a pass till then...
He has become a mini-celebrity...
Disney has rewarded him with free accommodation at their hotel... near the park...
***
Something to do... in his own way...
***
I had a friend... He would have said, "He is allowed..."
Indeed Jeff is allowed...
But the contradiction is still unavoidable...
The world is in turmoil... Let's go to Disneyland...
