In all it's glory

The Kadizzlites awoke in the little cabin we rented near the Flaming Gorge Dam.  The sun is shining in all it's glory.  The rafters will gather at another campground today and plan the great float trip down the Green River. Our country is such a spectacular country with such a variety of wonderful natural sites.  Of course a lot of it is shot up with wrecked cars and Walmart decor. The one thing that preserves so much of the beauty is the land owned by the Federal Government.  Guess what? The same people who want to destroy our democracy want to sell of the public lands.  What would we do with the money?  Of course use it to reduce taxes on the rich.  The common man can now park his camper or tent on millions of acres of public land free.
Our good friends the rich Republican often forget it was the common man who built the railroads, the dams, the schools, and so much that make our country what it is.  Why such disdain for the common man?  Why do we want to cheat the working man out of health care, education, and even the right to enjoy the public lands.   We are all delusional.  The rich think they made everything possible. It was the rich that built the pyramids, it was the rich that fought in all the battles that saved our country from dictators.  How delusional can people be. There would be nothing if not for the rich.  Of course the rich never look around and see all the co-operatives that are owned by the common people.  North Dakota has more co-operatives than any place, yet it also has a solid base of Trump idiots.  The rich would not come to North Dakota and build electric lines, phone lines, or provide anything they could not exploit.  So the people of North Dakota banded together and built these things for themselves.  Oh, but the rich are need to provide banks so we can all borrow money from them. Nope, there are credit unions where common people can borrow from each other.  The reality is the one percent that has it all are parasites and blood suckers.  A CEO that gets 500 times what the guy assembling the car makes is nothing but the most expensive parasite that can be purchased.

In the morning clear the mind and the body.  A good rant clears the mind and there is a special seat in a little room that clears the body after a good cup of coffee.  For a bonus you can jump in the shower and wash away your sins.  So today we are off to just casually float through some wonderful country.  There will be no phone service, and no reports until we end up back in civilization.  When you see this country you have to imaging the first white men like Powell that mapped it and floated these rivers.  It must have been the most pristine trip free of human defacement imaginable.  Maybe there are other planets that have not been shot up with jacked up pickup trucks, simple minded idiots spewing noise with motorcycles.  The strangest thing is that we have the resources for each and every person to live well, but somehow we manage to make such a mess out of it.  With The Donald in charge we can torture some people, build some walls, and cut the taxes on the rich.  Wow, what a great thing to look forward to.
