God, fate, time, karma
What we choose to believe,
the truths we accept as reality,
is a matter of perception.
Given that point of reason,
one concludes
perception leads to perspective.
Our sense of what is right dictates
an individuals point of view.
The people face a daunting task .
The dynamics of the signpost just ahead
are both and neither the
Twilight Zone and Yellow Brick Road.
The Wizard of Oz - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Such truths are entirely dependent
upon the road we are lead down.
Politicians are aware
75% of communication is non-verbal.
The nation would serve itself better
focusing upon the message of the topic.
If we hear the voice to heed fear,
take the lead from Dorothy and
clock the cowardly lion in the snout.
When trumpets begin sounding for immediate change,
know change occurs excruciatingly slow.
Point of fact
Women’s suffrage took 88 years
to reach the main stage,
The King dream took 45 years.
Change, when it does occur,
is excruciating and slow.
“Whatever you do, don’t pay attention
to that man behind the curtain.”
When faced with data that's inexplicitly derisive,
that's precisely the decisive moment of truth.
Internal conflict is
the greatest paradox
unknown to humanity.
The initial stage is one of confusion,
which leads to considerably more intensive thought
but eventually presents an evolved & content mind.
Go figure,Dorothy had the answer
under her feet the entire time.
As it turns out
the man behind the curtain was relevant
for he knew the power
each and every one of us possess.
The point of the wizard is this;
those in power
tend to be reluctant
to relinquish such power.
This could only lead us to Willoughby,
next stop Willoughby…
A Stop at Willoughby

We are looking for simpler times.
That is entirely up to us.
Willoughby
is the story of a man
searching for simpler times
through entering the Twilight Zone
finding himself in 1880’s Indiana.
I think we’d be better off
getting back to basics.
I think the ancient Greeks,
the Age of Pericles got it right.
More recently, in revolutionary times,
folks had discussion at the local tavern
to debate the topics of the day.
Exchange of ideas led
to the creation of a nation.
What we choose to believe,
accept as reality,
depends on the road we allow ourselves
to be taken down.
God, Fate, Time, Karma…
it is all those things;
it is none of those things. gjf

Pollywood Dynamics rule the day
original geo-Logic & Reason post date 9/2008;in its entirity
The Political parties have taken their positions.
This is how it's playing out.
The Democrats cannot change the nation.
The Healthcare Lobby is to powerful.
President Obama exudes charisma & oratory skills.
His eloquent prose & delivery provides inspirational speech.
The message of hope & empathy are waning.
Political Hollywood(pollywood)refers to daily coverage.
Corruption,sex scandels & personal political interest rule.
To suggest a circus environment is hyperbolic.
Politicians are making a family's economics disappear.
Elephants & jackasses espouse nonsensical jargon.
Spinning reality faster than one can say,
“I’m dizzy... I’m gonna Vesuvius.”
Thank God I don't see a Ringmaster.
That’s not enough,
oh no!
There’s more, another side. T
The Republicans choose to lead with no!
Suddendly fiscal responsbility is a priority.
Soundman cue the circus music please;
Its show time at the Pollywood Bowl.
Sarah throwing her hat toward Center Ring?
Kennedy-Nixon debate was precursor to Pollywood daze.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur92R4Gvcj4
Therefore,the Republicans plan,is to stall.
Osama pay per view execution sounds ok.
Orange jumpsuits...not orange tuxedos...bernie style.
Until then we're stuck in the mud.
"1 wheel spinning the other does nothing" (My Cousin Vinny)
Until then Pollywood rules the day...
Until then "The Tail Wags The Dog"
Wag The Dog
