What the moon says to me.

I placed the proto-pipe onto the decking to my right and the lighter beside it, picked up the glass of water and took a sip before setting it next to the pipe and the lighter. It hit me that they were perfectly symmetrical and I smiled to myself.

Looking up I gazed upon the full moon, lightly veiled by mist, like the face of a beautiful bride. My thoughts flick briefly to a darker time before rebounding. I smile gently as I think to myself that I am not going there, with a little bit of pride.

I'd been taking my girls out for their last pee and had glanced up to check the moon. If it is there I pause for a moment to look and tonight it was beautiful, and not too cold to place a seat on the balcony, maybe a thin blanket, laptop on what in Australia was called a stable table. Except that now I am in place I am beginning to freeze.

I love the moon.

It is a place away from here, without everything that is best and worse in people. Lifeless and barren but I know it is inevitable that we'll be off using it for something, my guess will be energy farms, microwaved back to earth, and probably with the additional use of really fucking up some defiant country's day.

I ponder, will there always be despots? will there always be propaganda and the people who scoff at the truth who don't get that propaganda isn't there to stop you from finding the truth, but to give time for shit to happen. Those people are so afraid to see what is really going on. Too much effort. Too much faith in TV and radio and papers, 'America's most trusted source in news' haha, I wonder how many of them don't know that it is not against the law to lie in news and they have been lied to, day in, day out.

Yes, Brittney has a tanned hardwood floor and if she's funny and smart in person I'd consider jumping her. You see, I almost did it to myself. The reason Brittney's beatle bonnet is news is that it distracts you and gives you something to talk about around the water cooler. Better you're talking about that than "Hey, you hear that our Invasion of Iraq is illegal, more than a million Iraqi's have died because of us and that right now Israel is doing to the Palestinians what the Germans did to the people of europe?".

At first, I was angered. Then I was disbelieving in the lack of will to know. Then things started to Change. Family members who scoffed don't anymore. Those who have peeked into the REAL news know what is going on and ask their 'conspiracy theorist' friends "how did you know?".

I'd like to think that this is the end of this game of might is right but seeing Hillary Clinton and John McCain I think this is going to continue going on. Obama, hmm.. perhaps. Paul would be my first choice but he's done what he needs to.

He has given Change that little push it needed, along with upstanding men such as George Galloway.

I look up and the moon is but a faint light shining through thin parts of a bank of clouds.

That's what I love about the moon - it says so many things.
