rude awakening
i woke up in the middle of the night last night with sounds coming from my kitchen. then i heard the acoustic guitar strings being plucked. i darted up in bed only to notice that the gate on my flying squirrel cage was open. fortunately i turned on the light and he scampered back into the cage.
on an entirely unrelated note- do you think that we should be more upset over minorities being given preference in jobs (ala affirmative action) or should we be upset over ceo's who make multi-million dollar salaries. i've been thinking a lot about how to incorporate personal ethics into an economic or social system. whatever.... this is my last squirrel post. really.
Comments:
Can I say how much I love your music?
My friend Sally Mae apparently came across a couple of your songs, and put them on a Mix CD for me, at which point I fell in love. So I scouted you out, downloaded everything you had to offer, pointed several other people in your direction, and am now anxiously awaiting an album release. Your music? Beautiful. Simply beautiful. -Drea (youmebutnous@aol.com)
Ethnic Americans are exploited far too often in the work place. They are taken advantage of for their ignorance of America's laws. But I suppose you weren't asking about those already holding jobs...
Can you elaborate on the connection between affirmative action and a CEO's salary, or are you approaching it as two different moral issues?
I guess they are two seperate issues. Well, maybe they are a little related. It's kind of like watching my squirrels fight over a walnut, when I've got a huge bag of walnuts just outside the cage. It's too bad we fight over the scraps from trickle-down capitalism.
It's hard for people to look beyond what immediatly surrounds them, what directly affects. To me, when I hear that someone was chosen for a job based on skin color and not education/experience, the Not Fair attitude takes hold. Same with major corps exploiting their workers on the bottom scale so they can reap more benefits. But nothing will change if we sit back and gripe about it...except for more accumulation of bitterness and resentent towards the gov. But I digress.

How does that change take place? Are we so paralyzed in our little worlds that we can't step out and fight for others and each other? << Home |
