Today’s NYT article regarding the codification of our jingoistic immigration policies is not an issue that demands isolated concern. In the larger schema of Capitalistic prison-military-industrial complex, the United States has become an epitome of everything regressive. Labor and employment issues, the plight of working women, undocumented workers, bullying, ethnocentrism, minimum-wage increase opposition, reproductive choice issues--and the shameful Israeli/American destroyer/occupation brigades, are all related to a corporate/consumer/capitalistic/amoral/ feeding frenzy--an orgy of dominion and control exercising--killing/maiming/bombing children--hello, anybody home?--wherever and whenever we want--in search of satiation of our unquenchable thirst for more control and power over the earth, other species and each other.

As the world and our capabilities expand through technological advances, we've become ever more Klingon in our evolution, or should I say devolution--becoming, first and foremost, voracious warriors with mighty brows--incapable of taming our baser instincts with our native intelligence. The crown of creation? We're Creation's Undoing. We are the perfect embodiment of The Peter Principle writ large, we've evolved to the point of perfect incapacity--like George W. Bush as leader, we occupy the highest rung on the evolutionary food chain and we're thoroughly unable to fulfill the responsibilities of the position. Perhaps we should consider stepping down--or at least aside. Things can only get better.
