America's financial bailout collateral damage

It appears there is focus on practices of banks and local banks in regards to their rateing and lending practices. If this is indeed the case, due to the magnitude of the situation, it should be treated as a death. Death comes in many forms; there is the death of an idea, of a relationship, a marriage, of students and, alas, the death of an institution. After death, there is always a mourning period and in some special cases, the mourning period has to be carefully monitored. The monitors of a death on a large scale is our psychiatric community and I fear we will have to dust off Dr. Krauthammer, bring home our psychiatrists from Guantanamo Bay and enlist their patriotic support for the good. Not knowing how a person or even a people will respond to inevitable death suggest mandatory supportive techniques on the highest levels of humanity.

I know damn well this is not my discipline but I do have what is generally called “common sense”. I think, I think. I hope I do. And with my “common sense” I would suggest before this bailout situation goes any further, the psychiatric community should become involved. For example, they may go to banks to talk to the CEO’s on down as to what the future holds for them and let them talk regarding their anxieties. Some preparations have to be made. A healthy society is supposed to have these markers in place. Please, God, I am not wishing for our whole fuckin’ structure to completely collapse but as I always say, America is the country she wants to be which brings me to my next post after the break.

=====================================
Christina Amanpour to Sec. Powell when discussing Afghanistan, “Let’s call a spade a spade”. This was CNN reporter Amanpour talking to former Sec. Of State Colin Powell during a forum at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. in the presence of four other Secretaries of State and what appeared to me to be a full house of audience.

For the less informed or interested, this is the kind of thing we Blacks hear on an hourly basis from Neo-cons. This is one of their many coded messages and this one in particular, “Let’s call a spade a spade” decodes as “Let’s call a nigger a nigger. Let‘s not play around”.

I have never liked Christina Amanpour ever since I saw her interviewing the youngsters during the race riots in Paris a little while back. There would be Blacks and Arab youths in a group and she would only perform an interview with the Arab youths. This stands out in my mind because I wanted to hear the Black youth speak in French. Never happened and, if memory serves me correctly, there was never an interview with a Black youth or adult. Always her salacious over talking on the film. There was the time she was going through a settlement in Israel when she said, “I can not afford one of these houses, too expensive” and there was the time she was running around London, randomly knocking on doors asking the occupants their feelings regarding having a Muslin Mosque built in their community. Here once again, CNN represents a segment of America; this woman works for CNN which once again tells me that America is the country the Neo-cons wants her to be after the high jack. I can not help fantasizing our situation if I had seen more people of color on the floor of the stock exchange and in higher places in our financial structure. Everytime you look at television, there is a new Neo-con added to the pundit team or as a commentator and a lot of Neo-con journalist are huffin’ and puffin’ backpedaling to the start line in efforts to gain a new credible audience. Curious.
I’ll edit this post later in the morning. Exhausted or mad as hell or grieving for the family and friends of the banker in England.
As always,

P.S. In relations to the financial bailout,Democrats preparing a bill are saying Nancy Pelosi had an Epiphany??? LOLROF! And letters should be sent to SS recipients stating their money is safe and communities should be sending letters telling homeowners how to deal with the vacant houses and the grass growing on the property and what to do about snow removal on that property especially if children have to walk to and from school and…
-(K-pow!)
- Ouch!! why you slap me on my head like dat fer?
-Wake up, nigger!
-Oh…..
P.P.S. If one can not understand the intellectual difference of my using the word “nigger” I can not offer any help. I put “nigger” in the same intellectual company as “Anti-Semitic”.
