“Can You Count Suckas?”

So you say, one million people are listening…?

Author’s Photo (credit — Brandon Johnson)

No, I won’t say what N.Y. City gang organizer, Cyrus said in the movie, The Warriors. Anyone remember the film? If you do, you are from the old school.

But I will say this now that one million are listening:

Buy an electric car.

Or Buy a Hybrid-electric car.

Stop driving so much. I mean a whole lot, so much. Fly as little as possible.

Start a garden. Flowers. Vegetables.

Plant some trees.

Reduce your carbon footprint. Immediately.

Demand a Constitutional Convention in America that lasts a year that will re-write the Constitution and abolish the Senate. Put term limits on Supreme Court Justices.

Ask for Donald Trump to be arrested and prosecuted for treason. And all the others who worked to overthrow the government.

If you are a Democrat or Republican, leave the party immediately. Become Green, Democratic-Socialist, or Working People’s Party.

Demand that all utilities be nationalized and can’t be used for profit motives but only to benefit the country as a whole to provide these essentials.

Universal Health Care for all — Demand It.

Art!! More art. Take half of our bloated military budget and invest in art and in people and support art. Better communities.

Finally, eat yourself some Fried Chicken and Waffles at least once a year. And listen to Stevie Wonder’s album “Songs in the Key of Life” all the way through as you eat them. Do it.

I could have said more, but, here is that guy Cyrus I told you about. Check out his speech, one of the great speeches of all time. It is within our power to change the direction of the world. — Link
