The Human Condition

ACT I

Ignorance is Bliss When it Comes to Challenging Social Issues

By remaining unaware, people can justify trusting government, study finds

WASHINGTON—The less people know about important complex issues such as the economy, energy consumption and the environment, the more they want to avoid becoming well-informed, according to new research published by the American Psychological Association.

And the more urgent the issue, the more people want to remain unaware, according to a paper published online in APA’s Journal of Personality and Social Psychology<sup>®.

"These studies were designed to help understand the so-called ‘ignorance is bliss’ approach to social issues," said author Steven Shepherd, a graduate student with the University of Waterloo in Ontario. "The findings can assist educators in addressing significant barriers to getting people involved and engaged in social issues."

Through a series of five studies conducted in 2010 and 2011 with 511 adults in the United States and Canada, the researchers described "a chain reaction from ignorance about a subject to dependence on and trust in the government to deal with the issue."</sup>

ACT II

Meanwhile-

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine are studying oxytocin -

In humans,

oxytocin enters the stage during hugging-

the pleasant physical touch scene,

as the supporting actor/ess in the part of the play-

The Human Sexual Response Cycle.

Part of altering the brain signals related to social recognitions,

whilst changing the firing of the amygdala,

-whose starring role is the processor of important emotional stimuli dialogue.

oxytocin -

a potential mediator of human social behavior.

"That’s why oxytocin is sometimes called 'the love hormone...

It's said that the eyes are the window to the soul…

they certainly are the window to the emotional brain.

We know that the eye-to-eye communication

—which is affected by oxytocin—

is critical to intimate emotional communication for all kind of emotions –

love,

fear,

trust,

anxiety."

Kai MacDonald, M.D., assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at UCSD.

Is 'IT' as simple as a chemical imbalance
playing the primal part of 'IT'S' woes?

Does 'IT' need a hug today?

Occupy your mind around this -

Television, The Drug Of The Nation

One Nation under God
has turned into
One Nation under the influence
of one drug

Television, the drug of the Nation
Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation

T.V., it satellite links
our United States of unconciousness
Apathetic therapeutic and extremely addictive
the methadone metronome pumping out
a 150 channels 24 hours a day
you can flip through all of them
and still there's nothing worth watching

T.V. is the reason why less than ten percent of our
Nation reads books daily
Why most people think Central America
means Kansas
Socialism means unamerican
and Apartheid is a new headache remedy

absorbed in it's world it's so hard to find us
It shapes our minds the most
maybe the mother of our Nation should remind us
that we're sitting to close to. . .

Television, the drug of the Nation
Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation

T.V. is
the stomping ground for political candidates
Where bears in the woods
are chased by Grecian Formula'd
bald eagles

T.V. is mechanized politic's
remote control over the masses
co-sponsered by environmentally safe gases
watch for the PBS special

It's the perpetuation of the two party system
where image takes precedence over wisdom
Where sound bite politics are served to
the fastfood culture

Where straight teeth in your mouth
are more important than the words
that come out of it
Race baiting is the way to get selected
Willie Horton or
Will he not get elected on . . .
Television, the drug of the Nation
Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation

T.V. is it the reflector or the director?
Does it imitate us or do we imitate it
Because a child watches 1500 murders before he's
twelve years old and we wonder how we've created
a Jason generation that learns to laugh
rather than abhor the horror

T.V. is the place where
armchair generals and quarterbacks can
experience first hand
the excitement of video warfare
as the theme song is sung in the background

Sugar sweet sitcoms
that leave us with a bad actor taste while
pop stars metamorphosize into soda pop stars
You saw the video
You heard the soundtrack
Well now go buy the soft drink
Well, the only cola that I support
would be a union C.O.L.A. (Cost of Living Allowance)
On Television.

Television, the drug of the Nation
Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation

Back again, "New and Improved",
we return to our irregularly programmed schedule
hidden cleverly between heavy breasted
beer and car commericals

CNN ESPN ABC TNT but mostly B.S.
Where oxymoronic language like
"virtually spotless" "fresh frozen"
"light yet filling" and "military intelligence"
have become standard

T.V. is the place where phrases are redefined like "recession" to "necessary downturn"
"crude oil" on a beach to "mousse"
"Civilian death" to "collateral damages"
and being killed by your own Army
is now called "friendly fire"

T.V. is the place where the pursuit
of happiness has become the pursuit of trivia
Where toothpaste and cars have become sex objects
Where imagination is sucked out of children
by a cathode ray nipple
T.V. is the only wet nurse
that would create a cripple

Television, the drug of the Nation
Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation
On Television . . .

Disposible Heroes of Hiphopricy

EARTH FLORA FAUNA

EARTH FLORA FAUNA

The Only GOD Human Can See

It is evident- Flora Fauna of Earth flourish with or without human hand.
The weed emerging through macadam bituminous asphalt
The human correction sprayed with herbicide deemed Flora an invasive species, therefore, undesireable.

Flora and Fauna, if given It's druthers, would happily prefer that humans did not exist upon Earth.
For man's existence upon Earth has been one of disharmony and, ultimately, the prime contributor to the extinction of Life on Earth.
A fact seen throughout human history up into this present time.
The Earth suffers humans upon Her breast, sucking the Life from Her, without prejudice. What good and pleasant contribution has the human experience wrought in honor of Earth's Flora Fauna?
Everything humans put hands upon has turned to shit.
The insult most grand to the Realm that has given, unbiasedly, human's the right to exist- AIR to breath- WATER to quench thirst-FLORA FAUNA to sait hunger.

The unspoken reality-without Earth, human would NOT exist.

The unspoken reality- without human, Earth would exist.

The Earth, quite a simple truth, need not the correction nor the recognition of human in It's traverse across the Universe.
Alas, Earth has become the footstool of a perverted race of creatures.
Without thought, human will break off a piece of Earth to wipe it's ass; and not for once be thankful that at one time, that reviled shit, was the very Flora Fauna that was once craved to quell hunger and sustain human life.
Human preach the message of a love from a god.

A human named jesus said you will know them by their fruit.

If humans believe they are their god's people;

is this the fruit of their gospel?

SOCIAL DISORGANIZATION

The Nature of Revolution

"...revolution is seldom so sudden, so spectacular, so disorganizing...

The course of social change is lower, deeper.

The reversal of social attitudes toward the basic institutions of the community is not alone the work of a skirmish between Roundheads and Cavaliers, the storming of a Bastille, a Boston Tea Party, or the mutiny of a few regiments of the Russian Imperial Guard.

Revolution is rather the final critical culmination of a long series of social changes.

The crumbling institutional controls break down.

The basic consensus of the society is dissipated.

Chaos and turmoil are inevitable until a new consensus is evolved.

A revolution is a cumulative rather than a precipitate crisis."

Not in my backyard

Not in my backyard
(dooryard open from 9a.m. to 5p.m. Monday- Friday)
This plot of land
groomed for my protection.
Four walled enclave
free from invasion.
Complacent one,
self absorbed,
within hot house glass.
Duck and cover
a thing of the past.
Nuclear family
atomic blast.
You look down upon the lesser with disdain,
handicapped yourself,
you reserve the right to bitch and complain.
This bubble you create
imperfect obtuse,
encroaches on others
familiarity becomes abuse.
No!
Never!
Not in my back yard
boast of impenetrable façade;
as a bulldozer wrecks your fragile ego
with one swift motion
across the whole subdivision.
