- Uh, hi...
- I don't want to attract any flames whatsoever with this posting,
- but it may happen. I was reading the supposed 'UN definition' of 'indigenous
- peoples' and it really struck me that although I really yearn to be connected
- with my culture (irish/british/scotch/italian) I am just from New Jersey, and
- 'native' to that chemically wasted land only by birth and a couple generations
- of people from Europe.
- I can identify with the 'alien' culture, i.e. being arrested, paying
- 1/4 - 1/3 of my wages to the government, having employers that don't give a
- shit if my teeth fall out on the keyboard or have a registered car, etc. So
- I really am anti-government in that the pompous assholes that run the show
- do so for the sake of their own careers and what ever coke money they can
- skim. Of that I am convinced. (By the Way, don't let my temp internet node
- address fool you, I am just working as a temp. secretary for the next week
- at Laurence Berkeley Labs!!!)
- So I make no claims to be a native American. I feel that the treatment
- of (in the US) minorities (by statistics, but who can believe them in CA?)
- is horrible, but I have had guns pointed at me by cops and criminals alike
- and I hate it! I have never been shot thank the Goddess yet but I am afraid
- that my lifestyle, which is really pro-family, pro-work, etc. is not bad but
- the government 'above' and the bums 'below' want to take it away from me!!!
- So I feel like or envision the police, etc. as an 'invading force' in
- my life, although without them the laws they have enforced on me have
- suppressed me enough so that in anarchy my house would be gutted, girlfriend
- .. well you get the picture! So I am just really at a loss, had a .22
- pointed at me last night... I don't know why I am saying this here but I
- want to help and heal the green eath
- earth
- oops!
- 93
- peace.
