Monster On My Head Part II... Thoughts About "Pyramid Schemes"... More In the Post Below

I AM having trouble posting the Monster On My Head series...  But so be it.  These are being edited as I go along because the computer slows down [not the case with this post...] tremendously.

So be it.

Peace.

Monster on My Head [Part II in a Series]

My laptop, my normal means for blogging and uploading videos, is on the blink - so I can't start this post in the way that I had hoped to.  Still, a little innocent comedy never hurt anyone - and this whole computer bit has reminded me of how many people must be left out (entirely)  of this technological and informational boom.  True, folks - at least if they live in a large town or city -  can generally access a computer at a library or through some other means.  But what is going on in regard to computers, the internet, etc. when it comes to the rural poor?  Do the children have access to computers and the internet in thier classrooms?  Are they being introduced to ipods, the multifunctional cell phones, the other new games and gadgets (those with educational value) that are now such a common part (for some of us, in full or in part) of society?

That is a gentle start.  But still apropro...  As I wonder how many of the rural poor know about current events...  How much they know about the fact that there appear (an opinion...) to be people "out there" (monsters?) that would like to take a number of our hard won rights away from us...  Tax us poorer folks to death...  Put women "in thier [ahem] place..." Scam those of us that still have some naivete left out of everything from decent affordable health care, hard won pensions, our very homes...

Ah yes.  Some do know.  And I gotta' tell ya', those folks are not (an understatement for some) too happy!

Still, I have drifted off my intended topic for tonight - which I think I'm going to address (I'm having a bit of a tough time lately...) via the following (evaluate these for yourselves) videos:


["Real Time With Bill MaherRule - Pyramid Scheme (HBO)"; as submitted to You Tube by HBO; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5_EbZlLPfw&feature=player_embedded]

Whose at the top?  Whose at the bottom.  How might this "pyramid scheme of pyramid schemes" work?
Hmmmm.

"I was born in the wagon of a traveling show...
My mama had to dance for the money they'd throw..

Papa would do whatever he could...
Preach a little gospel.... 
Sell a couple bottles of Doctor Good...

"Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves...
But every night the men would come around...

"Three months later I'm a gal in trouble... 
And I haven't seen him for a while...

"Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves...

..But every night the men would come around...
And lay thier money down..."[Lyrics may not be exact, but close]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

[Please don't bother to watch this video unless you watch the one below as well...]

["Planned Parenthood Aids Pimp's Underage Sex Ring"; as submitted to You Tube by TV Catholic; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aROPWBIzSbk]

Please note who posted this video, and see some of the threads [regarding alleged child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church and the alleged cover-up of same...] down below... 

["Plot To Undermine Planned Parenthood Fails"; as submitted to You Tube by "The Young Turks";

Please read between the lines...

And note the following issues, as well:

["Child Support is Killing Fathers!"; as submitted by Childsupportscam; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqtdwMjgGF8&playnext=1&list=PL76B59B6D0FAFD323]

I do not know if the link provided in this video is valid.  .
I believe that fathers should definitely  pay reasonable child support.
However, to put fathers in jail or take thier driver's licenses "does" (to me) seem way off base.
As does the following scenerio...

["Mom Jailed For Putting Kids In Good School"; as submitted to You Tube by "The Young Turks"; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72GOysAf2Ug&NR=1]

Absolute crap, if you ask me.  This is outrageous.

["Tata Young - Cinderella (with lyrics)"; as submitted to You Tube by swtarsim; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmiOyXepbsc&feature=player_embedded#]

Bottom line:  There is a monster on "our" heads...

Name it , claim it, and  change it!
