Letters to the editor: The future is our choice – Taft Midway Driller

WednesdayMay27,2020at8:55AM

Who among us has the divine right to decide who lives or who dies? Who has the moral authority to determine what is good, fair, or just for our nation? Who has the ultimate choice to privatize the land, the people, and the natural resources for private gain? Since 1886, corporate capitalist, our new world pirates, claim they do.

After seizing power over our Constitutional mandates, corporate capitalist established a new story and made it legal. Negative narratives, such as Darwins 1887 eugenics theory survival of the fittest and Keynesians post war economics, used legalized fiction to usurp the peoples authority. For over a century, our Constitutional rights have been ignored and suppressed while fear and hate are glorified and normalized. The colonial mind set continues to shape todays political choices with party line rhetoric and inhumane social abuses.

Consequently, Americas history is shadowed with personal prejudice, social bigotry, and corporate greed. The notion that federal and state taxes support education and programs that promote the general welfare, has proven to be false. Truth is, we are no more than economic fodder for those who unjustly declare elite status over social choices and economic decisions.

Since humanitys mythical fall from grace, our collective task has been to wake up, dispel the toxic levels of fear and dis-information, and reclaim our personal and social power. Instead of becoming mindless zombies, out of sync and mis-aligned with a free and just society, we can cultivate our divine right to live a moral humane life. Evidence shows without freedom to share our unique and authentic existence with honor, respect and responsibility, we lose our mind at the gates of hell. By choosing to live and let live, we cultivate equanimity beyond any nefarious policy or artificial inhibitors. That future is our ultimate choice.
