Send in The Clowns.......The cops won't shoot 'em......

Watching the DirecTV 'News Quadriplex' early this morning.....with its 4 screens full of violent, shouting and sign-waving men, women and children, emboldened behind the anonymity of Coro-19 masks......i thought of 'Thoth's Buddhist activism from a few years ago......'Between Social Wars'.....His words may be incomprehensible, but his message is clear......Today, his audience would ALL have their phones in 'record' mode, however......before moving on to the next 'interesting' event....the acrid smoke screen, from which uniformed, armed men in helmets emerge to 'break this up".......History has shown that 'crazy people'....like Thoth (and his wife), Moondog, Captain Beefheart, Buckethead, St. EOm, and Alice Cooper have Auras that separate them from All, excepting the Willing Watchers, that view them as 'relatively harmless' Amusements....[if they were observed as 'Real' or 'Subversive', they'd have been hauled off in leg irons and handcuffs, into paddy wagons....] Clown outfits are the best disguises, because few humans ever want to look into the eyes of Reality, when they can 'laugh it off'.......That's why so many wear dark glasses on cloudy days.......'Who? Me?'.........

Much of our Anger springs from having realized that much of what we're 'fed', as children, just doesn't 'get the work done'.....The Moon River is waaay wider than a mile, isn't it? When the practical, empirical Reality sets in......disgruntlement and malcontent eventually emerge, like the Dragon's foul breath, and immolate the new, puerile objectifications of breast-fed Delusion.....The children, fed on the fabrications of youth, emerge....in adolescence.....from their cocoons.....and devour the vegetation......but, it's like Homer Simpson trying to thread a needle...........not like 'Magic', doing all the Work.......Then, everyone goes to College, gets jobs and moves to Stepford to 'raise' another Generation of the same old Stuff, dressed in the latest Fashions......The Big Rock Candy Mountain is where everyone Really wants to live, isn't it?
