Today I am going to do something slightly insane.
I
am going to invite a Republican and a Democrat to the very same political parade.
WISH ME LUCK!
Here I go ....
WISH ME LUCK!
Me: Hi Pete, let me introduce you to Jack. Jack is a Republican.
Me: Jack, let me introduce you to Pete. Pete's a Democrat.
(silence
…… more silence….. hmmmm….)
Me: Jack, guess what! Pete likes baseball, like you!
Me: PETE, DID YOU HEAR? Jack LOVES baseball!
(silence ..... more silence ...... hmmmm ....)
(silence ..... more silence ...... hmmmm ....)
Me: JACK, Pete bought a sit down mower, just like YOU!
Me: PETE, Jack has a sit down mower with the
same COLOR!
Jack: Gotta go ......
Pete: Gotta go ......
Me: OK.
Stop right THERE….
…. before you
go, I’ve got to say ONE thing.
As long as you
fight, you lose!
Both of you will
have fewer jobs, fewer homes, fewer choices, less money, less security, fewer
privileges, fewer obtainable dreams, less power and less democracy.
As long as you
fight, THEY win.
They will have
more mansions, more jets, more millions, more security, more privilege, more
power …. and they will not give a crap about the death of democracy.
THIS fight is
NOT between regular people like you and I,
who happen to be Democrats and Republicans.
who happen to be Democrats and Republicans.
THIS fight is
between those with massive wealth, power and privilege
and those without.
You guys are NOT stupid!
Let’s WIN for a change.
OK. I’m done.
You can leave.
(silence)
(more silence)
Jack: Baseball, hugh?
Pete: Since Little League.
Jack: Same here.
Pete:
How’s that mower working out for you?
Jack: Gets the job done…
Pete: Yeah, in no time.
Jack: Notice that pot hole on Main?
Pete: That pot hole's INSANE!
Jack: Something’s GOT to be done about that ….
Pete: EXACTLY!
Jack: ….over a steak on the grill …
Pete: …at my house...
Jack: ….next time mine…
Pete: … with the wives …
Jack: … and kids …
OK, so you ask, "What's the point?'
The point is:
How about we try something pretty much impossible,
just 'cause there is absolutely no other way!
Yours truly, Bena

I see you didn't get a comment yet, I am the first, good! Bena, I will try it out, I have both sides in my near neighborhood. Wish me luck! we are entering the last stretch to get informed about who to choose. I think I know to whom I will give my vote, but I don't know if my neighbors will vote. They are sooooo disgusted about it all. I agree with you, ALL, EVERYBODY has to vote, it's important.
Keep going Bena, we all need you to remind us.
I really appreciate your Peep Perspectives, Bena.
I can see that you put an enormous effort into each action! without a lot of visible return. But take heart!
I know for myself your efforts are being used for "percolating! " and coffee comes out eventually! :-)
Sincerely,
Louise
