hour II




it has been a mere eighteen weeks since the low rent whores in congress and the swine at the chamber of commerce gave me back my hour and now they've taken it again...i didn't sleep in, but i got out of bed an hour later...a lost weekend rolled into an hour...de quincey's " disgusting tendancies towards vernal apperances" are rampant and now there will be extended periods of daylight after the working day....ostensibly instituted to save energy ( a bold-face lie...it does so litle towards saving energy that it borders on useless) the venal sods at the chamber love it because it allows more daylight for consumption of goods and services...they need a reality check to as the depression grinds on and the smoke and mirrors recovery doesn't allow for expanded consumption...and it isn't what we should be doing anyway...but the moral cripples at the chamber are so utterly boxed in philosophically by their profit imperative that their thinking is utterly skewed...there are many rooms in the addictive mansion and some are better defined (mostly because they are the ones that cost the holy gdp in terms of medical insurance claims and lost production) than others...a pecuniary addiction goes undefined and untreated because it adds to the gdp...it warps characters and destroys families but tragically is allowed to continue...captalism as enabler...the market as the pusher and wealth as the drug...day traders and stock-jobbers will morph into snarling facsists ready to kill rather than suffer the withdrawl that comes with the loss of the money drug that accompanies a crash...mull over the body of literature attached to the pursuit of wealth and the horror stories of failure and loss...if they worked i'd suggest a twelve-step program...daylight savings time is a symptom of that addiction...it's time we confronted this national tragedy and develped a serious treatment program that can contribute its share to the gdp.

  1. but I like having the sun go down later at night....in Oklahoma the sun sets around 9:30 or 10 in the summer (and is a big red ball with all the dust in the air)

  2. the vengful sunsets of the open hearth days at u s steel are long gone...they would have given your "sooner" sunsets a run for the money ( it would also have coated your car...and everything else...including your lungs...with iron oxide)...the air quality is better now...the lake is where all the benzine is...i know you like summer (in A304 i believe you said the ambient temperature can never be too warm) and am pleased for you that your season is nearing...it is not my favorite...but i have discovered i can use it to grow stuff...win/win, no?
