Schiavism Schism

I didn’t know that about breastfeeding, but now as a parent am totally
alarmed by what I’m learning about ADD and autism, both of which are
showing like a 1000% increase over 30 yrs ago. And yep, the drug
companies lap it up–the more things to treat the better… Bottom
line is, and I want to make a film about this I think, is the way
corporate culture hides behind the indeterminacy of cause and effect,
their big honkin’ loophole. They get away with murder and then not
only claim no responsibility, but muddy the waters with bogus studies
indicating we need more research, lack conclusive evidence etc.
They’re still out there telling people Global Warming is a liberal
hoax, when 99.7% of all scientists say it’s irrefutable. It’s this
vicious FEEDBACK LOOP with religion, and hence the relevance to the
Schiavo story. I’m no scientific determinist–I think religion is
important and wonderful and wouldn’t want to be in a world without the
perpetual wonder of what it’s all about. But what’s happening is that
corporate culture is wrecking life in this country (on this planet)
driving more people to desperation, people take more and more refuge
in religion not just as a metaphysical spiritual concern, but to
supplant all reality (and most pointedly the reality of others
different from them), and the constituency of believers in the liars
and corporate cheats claiming God’s proxy GROWS! That these guys
thumb their noses at all the long hard work done in the courts over
the last 7 years to determine whether it was right for Schiavo to die
is just an effort to exalt this parallel reality that has contempt for
the idea of others’ real lives, for anything but the messianic idea of
specific reward in some post-mortal time as understood by the elect,
the true believers. The networks are now saying Bush signed the Terry
law not for political reasons, but for his deep moral convictions–as
if he has the right and excuse to do that. And as if we now have to
respect Bush for his very personal difference of moral view after he
has just gotten through disrespecting the law of the land and the deep
moral conviction of the brain-dead woman’s husband….

hypocrisies like “promoting a culture of life” in FL while
simultaneously pre-suing preemptive war in Iraq? The list goes on and
on. Speaking of mercury: did you know that women who breast feed their
children are less likely to develop breast cancer later in life? Why?
because they feed it all to their little ones and now those children
have ADD. Which isn’t such a big problem because Phiser has a full
line of drugs to “cure” them and has pressured India through the WTO
to stop selling generics for the safety of their markets–i mean those
unfortunate children–whose mothers are at a lower risk of
mastectomies. Problematically again, many women are valued by their
breast size so losing one puts you back a couple notches on the red
carpet of national importance. Except for Terry, we love her even with
her drool and unflattering bathrobe.

Hear hear. In all seriousness though, isn’t it just
disgusting to the extreme that the Republican Congress is deeply
concerned about this brain-damaged woman’s rights, trampling all over
the eight years of agony it took her husband to come to the decision
to no longer keep her alive, while their allies in the executive
branch just gutted a Harvard study that argued strenuously for the
economic and health sense behind curtailing mercury emissions in a
meaningful way. http://www.truthout.org/issues_05/032305EA.shtml
Mercury of course being linked to among other things…brain damage.
I live for the day when history gives these grandstanding hypocrites
their due. Hope it comes…

Schiavism is progressive in that sense–it realizes that the

patriarchal thing is outmoded. The rite of communion will no longer
be administered by god’s patriarchal intermediary, but by a tube
coming from the altar.

my question is: what happened to the cherished republican
platform of strong patriarchal families. How could we undermine a
husband’s right to “kill” his wife for the paltry tears of a woman
(her mother). Republicans are going soft.

Re: Terry Schiavo. Here is my prediction: When she dies,
she will be elected to be a candidate for sainthood. When the
Catholic church refuses to go so far as to beatify her, a whole new
offshoot of Christianity will be born. No joke. You heard it hear
first (presumably).
