Been sooooo beyond frustrated with the way the economic crises in this country are being tossed around like hot potatoes. The hands of the have-nots, working poor and impoverished are constantly being burned, while the wealthy and wall street thieves are sliding by with golden passes and no foreseeable chance of being taxed properly or finally being held accountable for the corruption that helped feed the desperation we're trudging through . And, as usual, the rich are being painted as somehow being the sad victims who are being bullied and deserve a break....and the rest of us are whiny kids and parasites trying to exploit the system.
Watching the back-and-forth in Washington has been like a Punch and Judy show that just won't end -- and the same goes for the divisive mainstream media coverage. I'm so sick and tired of all of it. I'm just a simple, working-class kind of gal.....no trustfunds or sugardaddies.....just struggling as hard as anyone making much less than $40,000 per year. I have my share of debts to be paid and budget frustrations, but a quiet part of me really has been imagining what it might be like to relocate permanently to Canada or Europe (particularly Amsterdam). Is it too crazy to want to live in a civil society that truly gives a shit about its non-wealthy citizens?? Stable healthcare, education and social programs. Even deep respect for artists and the arts??

I remembered this video today by Measha and it has such a serenity and truth. If you put aside the tones of dogma and see the story of a woman in-need, seeking strength and relief, it really hits a mark. There aren't enough words to express how much I adore her voice and spirit. She's truly a stellar treasure of this modern era of opera. Turn up the volume and enjoy this vid.
