MY
FRIEND JOSEPH NYERERE IS WRITING EVERY DAY - IT IS AS
HARD TO KEEP UP WITH HIM AS HE STREAKS AFTER THE
DISAPPEARING FUTURE
YOU WANNA PLAY? yeah.
Ok this is decision theory for real with a $700,000,000,000
steak. No curve grading. No partial credits.
All or none. Zero sum. Win
or Lose.
You got until Friday to finish. Its take
home. You have a 7 sided rubix cube with the
sides as described below. each side has a special
interest. side #2 through side #7 proclaim to
seek and serves the best interest of side #1.
IN THE SOLUTION: Formulate an optimum solution;
heurstically, do the best you can from where you are.
you might wanna draw a diagram as a helpful
assistant.
Background; Side#7 has stolen trillions of dollars
from side #1 with the blessings of side #2 and #3
having neglected its fudiciary responsibility to
protect the interest of side #1. Side 5 is a member
of side 4, side 6 is a member of side 3, both
side 4 and side 3 are members of the congress, thus both
sides 5 and side 6 are members of the same set,
all inclusive.
START NOW: GOOD LUCK until DOOMS DAY:
side #1: The voting public edges for a presidential
election and must vote for side #5 or side #6.
this voting public is
"the American people" or "the
economy": side #1 says NO to a $700,000,000,000
gift to side #7.
side #2: The Bush-Cheney administration is
proposing a $700,000,000,000 gift to side #7
2 alternatives are possible in the proposal: accept
he proposal or you face DOOMS DAY, something worse
than
Black Power Gonna Git Yo Moma.,
side #3: The democrats who must vote yea
or nay on the gift.
side #4: The republicans who must vote
yea or nay on the gift.
side #5: Senator John McCain is
running for president, he must decide what to say
to side#1, how to represent and still win an election.
side #6: Senator Barak Obama is running for
president, he must decide what to say to side#1,
how to represent and still win an election.
side #7: The Power Elite, Capitalist
class, World capital and thieves wants the $700,000,000,000
to continue stealing.
They say, "we too big to fail" cause we
got you by the balls.
Looks like you gonna play whether you wanna play or not
play. MOVE ! MOVE ! DECIDE.

Dancing with My Father
I wish i could dance with my father again.
Dad. That's what my brother and I called him.
We called him Dad. I see him now. He
was the tallest in our family.
He was about six feet, one or two inches.
I see him now. I'm 10 or 11 years old at the time.
Dad is making me a skate scooters with some skates that I
had run the bottoms off, skating so fast that only one of
the skates was still useable.
You'd take the other skate and split it into half of
which
two skate wheels would be on front &
two skate wheels would be on the back of
and on the bottom of a two by four, about three feet
long,
with a perpundicular membered two by four of about
the same length with handle bars.
of course you'd haf to have flaps on the back.
I had tried my hand at making a skate scooter many times
at that time. My older brothers were off doing what
they did.
They aint have no time for me cause i was younger.
I was left home with mom and dad.
I was in the basement messing around with some wood and
nails making me a skate scooter.
Dad walks in, amazed at my like of carpenter skills.
"Gi me that", Dad says, "let me show
you". Dad takes the hammer,
"go out in the yard and bring me one of them 2 by 4's".
I goes and gits it and come back. "Watch",
Dad says.
I watch, as he builds, and we laff and talk, for
about 2 or 3 hours.
"Finished", Dad says.
"Wow Dad Wow", I said because I had never seen
a skate scooter like that before.
"Go on out there", Dad says.
I go out there and the guys laff like hell because this
scooter they had never seen before.
I start to scoot and scoot, slowly. I had
never tried this thing out.
"You wanna race", yeah! yeah!
come on! everybody wanting to take me on.
"Come on....Come on", I can hear em now
Come on Come on.."
One, two, three GO... GO...
I was so far ahead of'em that I didn't even hear
skates behind me.
I can hear Dud and Flap and Sonny... "Shit
man, that damn thing can fly...".
I was a legion before I was 12.
Yeah, "my daddy made it." I told'em.
One of my Dad's favorite saying,
" I can write a letter to my sisters, I can't read
nothing but the Bible but I can do any kind of
fractions.
I can sure as hell count money like hell, like nobody
else can count, I can count my money & do it in
my head."
Today, Dad would probably say, "Shit... 70 billion
dollars, that's a lot of money for them to be
fucking around wit..."
