May Day Hoax
While marching through the streets,
we Missoula Hoaxers,
dragging our ill gotten gain "Lady Ann Magee II,"
the actual cost of which was $68 million dollars
in the blood, sweat and tears of our community,
I couldn't help feeling justified in protesting the way
cor poor rate america is killing
Missoula's and missoulian's e con of me.
How the drain of dollars and talent and sweat equity
means less than nada to the robber barons...
who are only beholden to their bottom line.
And so, every one of us is together
here, marching and pulling, pulling, pulling...
the same boat we are all in while
main stream media accuses us of
being the hoaxers!
Go figure....
Thanks capan Smurfit!
For showing us the way....

Power (authority) of, by, for and to the people ....
The authority of power of the people and The U.S. Declaration of Independence:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
The tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states: Powers of States and people. "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
In America, power means control of one's own life, liberty and happiness, these certain, defined unalienable Rights and others reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Power of, by, for and to the people ....
In Montana's Constitution, Article ll - Section 3. Inalienable rights. All persons are born free and have certain inalienable rights. They include the right to a clean and healthful environment and the rights of pursuing life's basic necessities, enjoying and defending their lives and liberties, acquiring, possessing and protecting property, and seeking their safety, health and happiness in all lawful ways.
Power of, by, for and to the people ....
The people of Montana are ALL guaranteed other special sets of Enumerated Rights. They are Popular sovereignty. Self-government. Individual dignity. Freedom of religion and Assembly. Freedom of speech, expression, and press. Right of participation. Right to Know. Right of privacy. Freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures. Right to bear arms. Right of suffrage. Adult rights. Rights of persons not adults. Due process of law. Habeas corpus. Rights of the accused. Self-incrimination and double jeopardy. Trial by jury. Imprisonment for debt. Criminal justice policy -- rights of the convicted. Eminent domain. Etc.
The principals, rights and ideals of America and the 50 States are directed toward protecting the people's power and authority...
Think about it ….As always, please let me have your comments on this important topic, thanks!

Inalienable Rights
The Montana Constitution guarantees for ALL certain: "Inalienable Rights. All persons are born free and have certain inalienable rights. They include the right to a clean and healthful environment and the rights of pursuing life's basic necessities, enjoying and defending their lives and liberties, acquiring, possessing and protecting property, and seeking their safety, health and happiness in all lawful ways. In enjoying these rights, all persons recognize corresponding responsibilities."
Henry David Thoreau once said "It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right," meaning that Montanans and Americans need to be ever vigilent in regards to maintaining and increasing their Human and Inalienable Rights. Merriam-Webster Online 2009 defines Inalienable as incapable of being alienated, surrendered, or transferred." As former president Jimmy Carter often noted, "America did not invent human rights. In a very real sense human rights invented America."
However, in 2009, we as Montanans and Americans see infringements of our most sacred human rights on an ever increasing scale. On our National level we see: wars, lies, newspeak, wiretapping, loss of privacy, corruption, torture, environmental degradation, corporate domination, uncontrolable spending and continuing and deepening recession while American's Civil Rights are being trampled, left and right. It also seems that 1984, the famous book by George Orwell written and published in 1949, is being followed and enacted closely in Washington, D.C. these days to the detriment of all.
So, what is it that we, as Americans and Montanans, can do today to preserve, protect and further our Inalienable Rights for our future? Perhaps take some guidance from a few great inspirations about becoming activists now, ourselves: Mother Teresa said: "Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person." and "God doesn't require us to succeed; he only requires that you try." and "It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters."
Nelson Mandela said: "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others."
Mohandas Gandhi said: "A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble." and "A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people." and "Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth." and "Be the change that you want to see in the world."
Emma Goldman said: "The most violent element in society is ignorance." and "The demand for equal rights in every vocation of life is just and fair; but, after all, the most vital right is the right to love and be loved."
As always, please let me have your comments on this important topic, thanks …
