Is that a Donkey and an Elephant in your pocket?

The Left Side:

(The American "Left" doesn't exist.)


         
      America has neither Socialists nor Communists. Go to Europe for that. All the US Constitution offers is a glimmer of truth toward Altruism; the idea that everyone deserves life, liberty, and freedoms to pursue happiness with forty acres and a mule. Not many mules around anymore.
Corporations do not include all costs in the price of commodities. They export jobs to developing nations and force those workers to relive the unethical history of the industrial revolution amid a toxic environment of pollution and dehumanization, while they lobby the US government to avoid cleanups back home. We need to open up Alaska and suck out its natural resources. It's so far away most people won't notice.
The World's Greatest Superpower Nation and Number One armaments manufacturer makes War, and then asks Congress and the American people to pay for it.
"Wage" War my butt! We haven't seen a meaningful increase in the minimum wage since gas was twenty-five cents a gallon. Around 1972.

                What can you say about a country with the world's biggest and most advanced Arms Industry, that impeaches a president for untruths told to Congress about his private lief, and yet makes a hero out of a president that LIES and LIES and smirks and LIES some more, which results in tens of thousands of people killed. Think that reduces the exponential increase in worldwide terrorism and hatred against the USA? Do you believe in the bogey man? Weapons of Mass Destruction? Meanwhile, our "Global Police Force" neglects other ethnocides and wars in countries without oil.
Coincidence?

Want to Save...

        The World? Money? Yourself? You children, family, friends? EVERYBODY?         People who care that much learn to laugh and hide their tears.

        "The Politically Correct think the enemy looks like racism, or stereotypic thinking, because they couldn't tell a Human Right from a leftover. History shows us that people who succumb to greed and avarice victimize and corrupt other human beings, then create police states to enforce peaceful coexistence. The United States of America imprisons the highest percentage of its citizens of any country on earth, of any time in history. Especially if that's how you see the two-working-parents work ethic."

      "Societies with taboos against talk about religion, sex, and politics foster slaves to tradition, and victims of the status quo. Their citizens wallow in magic thinking like hippos stuck in drying mud, accept geopolitical lies with the fatalism of flies in amber, and do not appreciate the substandard quality of their sex because they never achieve self-realization and therefore cannot surrender to love. These citizens inherit their governments, imprison themselves in socioeconomic stratification, enter into marriages programmed to self-destruct, and most often produce child-parents with addictive personalities who live underemployed on social assistance and fast food. Their disorders guarantee the economic success of the automobile as personal jewelry, caffeine laden soft drinks, and hip-hop music. Take this as investment advice, and get rich." Mark Plimsoll

        A memoir of a suicidal twenty-two year old Rust Belt Midwesterner who finds an exciting alternative to Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n' Roll in Latin America.

          Come meet a man-eating French girl, a rich grandmother that disowns her grandchildren, the ugliest woman author and her ambi-sexual son who run from the government, a man who kidnapped his daughter and runs from his ex, an American Tarzan who lives in a Mayan Indian village, men who don't think of themselves as gay yet "get it" from men, an Irish Adventurer who flatters street walkers with an empty camera, poisonous sea snakes, a black Nicaraguan Princess who hawks her jewelry to save her people, and a party of party girls and gun-toting publicists who work for the President and hate our narrator...
       This book offers a unilateral, entwining, caring and sharing, sensuously flowering multicolored antidote to the right-angled set jaws of extraterrestrial Condoleeza Rice and her antihuman Hawks that crouch within the New Theocracy of the Military Industrial Complex, as they pray to hasten the Apocalypse. This book goes down like an electrolytic serum of tropical juices that promises to purge the industrial age halitosis of Coca-Cola and rum.

        WMD Machete, a whisper of wind between the twin ghosts of the trade towers from where rapacious corporations once tried to control the world's economies, resources, and information. .

        A creative nonfiction memoir of how one Midwestern Anglo-Saxon Baby Boomer became a bilingual "North American," comfortable on all sides of the US border. This new breed of 'American' will pop up ever more frequently, in both North and South Hemispheres. This book offers a glimpse into the future, twenty-five years from now, when the United States of America becomes over fifty percent Hispanic.
                Mark Plimsoll, in his role of social critic with a point of view from beyond the United States' borders, offers this memoir as a testament of how travel can raise consciousness from the world-threatened, fearful personality of "Democratic Capitalism" to a global citizen, through recognition and truthful appreciation of our historic interconnectedness.
                For the contemporary young adults in many nations, and American Baby-boomers alike, this book offers important keys to understand the Geopolitics of the twentieth century, so vitally important at the beginning of this new millennium of Globalized information, economies, markets, religions, and ideas.
                Mr. Plimsoll's book hints at a solution to today's suicidal impasse between consumerism's aggressive progress rough-heeled over the huddled masses, and a more compassionate humanism based on interpersonal respect, sexual fulfillment, religious freedom, education, and a willingness to appreciate the subtleties of each culture's social graces. With inter-cultural sophistication, and a geopolitical responsibility based on a knowledge of the human condition, Americans can share with all the world's peoples a true commitment to Universal Human Rights and Environmental Protection, and perhaps stop the Theocrats of the Bush administration on their fanatical military caravan to Armageddon.

Note to Multicultural and International Readers:
                With respect to "English As a Second Language," Mr. Plimsoll writes accessible contemporary literature in modern English, with elimination of old-fashion, imprecise (and boring) "passive voice" verbs (except in natural dialogue). This style conforms to what most publishers prefer, because readers enjoy it. Some call it a new language, the Language of E. This gives the student of English the opportunity to learn an elegant and sophisticated English that offers a higher level of precision without the wordiness of antiquated English.
                Readers at all levels will find this easier to read and more truthful. For one quick example, the use of the passive voice often allows someone to avoid responsibility;


        "Students who come in late for class will be given a low grade"

instead of

        "The teacher will give students who come in late a low grade."

WMD MACHETE:
                More than an experiment in literature and language, WMD MACHETE entertains and reveals a reality too few ever experience. Risqué, honest, and uncensored, this account of a young man's struggle with two realities, one Anglo-Saxon and the other Hispanic-Mayan, becomes a life-and-death challenge. Plimsoll writes from the point of view of an adult who remembers those moments of the discovery of his own mortality, and paints for us the deadly reality of human life in a world both jungle and zoo.
        This coming of age memoir, set amidst a 1976 earthquake that kills twenty-two thousand people, allows us to feel the grassroots impact of how Corporate America's foreign policy, forged in Iran and Guatemala back in the nineteen-fifties, created the bogus Cold War (How would you categorize a policy called MAD - "Mutually Assured Destruction" if not Terrorism?) and the current War on Terrorism, a campaign against people without the armaments nor resources to fight a traditional war against a Superpower.
                Poverty and ignorance create militaries of children who do what they can; sometimes to survive or achieve a noble state of grace, sometimes to protect themselves and their families, sometimes to draw attention to themselves, and any blood spilled allows the United States and mass media to paint their pathetic and misguided efforts as a dangerous threat to the New World Order.

The Right Side:

Jesus wants you to become Rich and Successful within a Military-Industrial Complex World! Business always improves and develops an impoverished world. Once firmly established as a successful citizen of the developed world, you can manage your own time, and "give back" to society with donations to non-governmental agencies which also lessen your tax burden, or even start institutions to carry on your philanthropic work. Soon, everyone will be rich.

        Imagine yourself as a child in school on the playground, and five percent of the kids belonged to a gang that robbed everyone else of a third of their money, and controlled how everyone spent another third. Which gang do you want to belong to?


Stop All Illegal Immigration...
     

... of the natural resources of the rest of the world. Then all those poor people could afford to stay home, and we could give all the border patrol agents something useful to do, like tear down the fences.

Why don't illegal immigrants stay home, or immigrate legally? They can't afford to, so they follow the money and resource trail out of their country and into the United States of America.
