Happy?. . .

Want to be happy
Listen here
What would you pay to
Have no fear
Fear of the raptor
Roaming free
Fear of a captor
You or me
Do you fear having your choices
All being taken away

There was a turmoil
We could see
Under the table
Had to be
Way far beyond us
In the fray
We wore the blinders
They slipped away
So many promises made
To a misguided parade of the innocent

Circumstances pushed so many over the edge
Sideways glances directed to drive in a wedge

Want to be happy
Bet you do
Want to be happy
never blue
Things aren’t the same as they used to be
With some effort we’ll change what we see

Happy

Go Figure. . .

I watched WAAAYYYY too much television than is healthy when I was a child.  Now I barely have time to watch ANY!   And I don't feel like I'm missing much.  Yes, there are some clever, cutting edge television programs on these days.  Matter of fact, the sheer number of choices of television entertainment available today is mind boggling compared with that of my youth, yet I watched it like a hawk then, but avoid it like the plague now.

Go figure. . .
BTW- the photo above is Rose Marie, co-star of the Dick Van Dyke Show (one among MANY other shows of the era) which ran from 1961 through 1966 and which, one of my good friends and musical OHO compatriots feels, sounds (or at least formerly sounded) very much like the lead vocalist in this legendary prog-rock ensemble, theory with which I can hardly argue . . .

Two. . .

 . . . for tea. . .

Not for our choices of presidential candidates.

Once again, our wonderful media and even more wonderful electoral system have, in combination failed us tremendously.  There are actually, contrary to popular perception, OTHER options for president of the United States.

Not everything needs to exist in only in pairs like:
    pants/trousers
    underwear
    swimming trunks
    shorts
    jeans
    glasses
    sunglasses
    binoculars
    goggles
    scissors
    pliers
    clippers
    tweezers
    tongs
    headphones
    handcuffs
    shoes
    socks
    slippers
    boots
    shoe laces
    gloves
    cuff links
    earrings
    pair of contacts
    pair of eyes
    pair of lungs
    kidneys
    wings
    dice
    skis
    skates
    crutches
    chopsticks
    speakers
    headlights
    windshield wipers
    knitting needles

Depending upon your particular state, (and don't forget write-in possibility) there are other choices:

Libertarian Party
    Gary Johnson - official nominee. Former Republican governor of New Mexico

Green Party
    Jill Stein - official nominee. Physician

Constitution Party
    Virgil Goode - official nominee. Former U.S. Congressman from Virginia, who was in Congress as a Democrat, an independent, and lastly a Republican

Prohibition Party
    Jack Fellure - official nominee

Justice Party
    Rocky Anderson, former mayor of Salt Lake City

Peace and Freedom Party

Mutiny . . .

. . . but no Bounty. . . not really a mutiny either . . .

Possibly a ship or two though. . .

Chretcher Flistian said, "If our leader is no leader, then let's join forces and tell him so.  But let us not tell him only that.  Let us help him.  We will explain to him that we want him to succeed as a leader.  We want this outfit to be successful.  We want to make money and we want him to get the credit for all this.  But alas, it will not happen if he is left to his own devices.  Surely if we all address this situation together as one, united front (and one, united front with our leader's best interest and well-being in mind) he most certainly cannot refuse.  In fact, we will tell him that he cannot refuse.  The choice is either operate this venture as it should be operated, or it will most surely and certainly, in time, fail.

This will not be an easy task for him nor for we.  For in order for us to accomplish this titanic undertaking, we must purge every self-serving, deceitful, dishonest, disingenuous, agenda-driven thought from our minds and truly work together as one, honest, transparent, dedicated team.  In this way, and ONLY this way, can we pull of this bold and daring plan.

Or, we can run away to Tahiti. . . "    . . . and the men thought it was good.
