Radicalizing the Revolution...

The uprising begins and the revolutionaries seize power...Their first step is to disband the existing police force,  dismantle the military apparatus, overthrow the suffocating media web of existing propaganda, commence a new network of social communications, declare the previous governmental structure as defunct, welcome the people at large to the new conditions of radical anarchistic post-statehood, sponsor rallies in the public square, encourage dancing, singing and loud clapping, outlaw large corporations, monopolies, conglomerates, tech giants, Amazon, Google,  Apple, etc., redistribute existing accumulations of wealth among the millions of essential workers, reconstitute the existing means of production spontaneous and perhaps haphazardly under a separate set of umbrella categories (to be owned by everyone, to be administered by everyone, on a system of rotation, each according to their needs), declare all essential industries open to all, first come, first serve, demolish enclaves, gated communities, private estates, seize bank accounts and private holdings of everyone who is not in dire need, institute land reform, declare universal health care for all, levy taxes against the ruling elites, eliminate food deserts, outlaw racism, sexism, classism, lookism, homophobia, and reactionary thinking, open up the seat of government to the working class, form local councils and ministries of the people, punish hate speech, round up counter-revolutionary agitators, outlaw excessive consumption, litter, wastage, pollution, hoarding, punish snobbery and self-segregation, surveil the population in search of code speak and dog whistles, banish tribalism and large families, banish small communities and provincialism,  outlaw factions and sub-groupings, disallow useless debates and endless chattering about nothing,  stop the cult of celebrity, stop the cult of authority,  stop the worship of doctors, lawyers and engineers, stop the worship of beauty, shred the decadent art and fashion,  burn the false historical accounts, put librarians on notice,  eliminate private friendships, private clubs, private parties,  eliminate marriage and oppressive relationships, eliminate formal courtship and bourgeois dating services, liberate women from the company of men,  liberate men from their oppressive selves,  requisition men to the rescue of cats, dogs, dolphins and test rabbits, liberate older from younger, liberate children from parents and the pretense of loving caretakers,  liberate the infirm from their overseers, liberate black from white, hispanic from white, asian from white, middle eastern from white, multi-racial from white, white from white, visit radical immersive endless reeducation upon the recalcitrant Euro caucasoid nay-sayers who deny, deny, deny the historical tsunami that their collective DNA consciously or unconsciously helped to create...eliminate the stress that comes from trying to hold in place the perfection of the first moments of liberation, absolutely no faltering, no nervous reactions, no room for flaws of any kind...step to it, folks, put a happy face on it, no time to spare, no melancholy face allowed!

The Ghost of Moonlight Beach

  It was several decades ago now that the rumors were swirling about a possible ghost @ Moonlight Beach. There was a definite "buzz" among the Coast Highway vendors and their customers - enough to keep the conversation rolling...  Ronnie, for example, the short-order cook at the 1-11 Diner used to compare notes with Sue-Ellen - owner of the guitar shop about the latest "sighting" while Eduardo who owned the Taco Shack near the corner of D Street asked Mel who ran the old movie theater across the street if the real headquarters for the poltergeist might be in one of the older buildings - maybe an attic space. Maybe it's a ghost that goes on field-trips now and then - agreed Manny Uwanco - proprietor of the used book store and cousin to George Uwanco - the owner of George's diner.  Everyone tried to convince Lou - of Lou's Records that this thing was real - but he proved to be the skeptic of all skeptics.  Truth be told - it was hard to imagine a less hau...

An End to Hypocrisy...

Once upon a time, way back when, there were those who paid lip-service to the higher ideals, but could never live up to them...They spoke of generosity and self-restraint, while privately obsessing over money and searching for the next secret thrill...They praised others for their "clean living" but privately ridiculed these "simpletons," "bores" and  "straight-arrows"... They spoke of love and friendship, but privately they gossiped and picked apart the flaws of their neighbors and co-workers...coveting and comparing notes, ah yes, holding grudges against their so-called friends. They kept their minor "bad habits" in check and in plain sight, but kept others well-hidden under the rug or in the closet...Filled with restless curiosity and wanderlust, they looked for places, for locales where the normal rules did not apply... Rhetorically, they lauded and affirmed the self-enforcement of chaste and civil comportment between the sexes, but...

The "stupidity" that often afflicts otherwise intelligent people: believing that logic can be applied in every situation to solve a problem where human beings are involved...One expects of humankind, a certain amount of prudence and foresight as part of daily decision-making, but at some point a logical approach to problem-solving is counter-intuitive. One must learn another kind of "logic" perhaps - a stratagem utilized by fools, knaves and con artists alike - each accustomed to navigate amid a daily outpouring of overwrought emotion, each expecting impulsive passion to rule the day....Behold the hidden puppet-master lurking in the shadows....
