Karl & Tim Send You A Peace

Nobody’s Opinion: Don’t ask me why I did it. I think it was because I could not get Tim Robbins out of my mind today. He is over in Athens, Greece, and putting on a play about 1984, which he intends to make into a movie. This “thought” sat in my brain, overnight and came out right after my morning oatmeal.

I don’t like it when my oatmeal tastes like used cardboard because my mind is contemplating some rich idiot who I can’t even talk to, to tell him that even though rich, he is still an idiot.

The other day he said. “Clinton lied about a blowjob and gets impeached by the media and Congress.”

Please. No wonder he married Susan Sarandon.

I wonder if he will put Susan Suran-wrap in his 1984? If she sings or gets her toe-nails painted, I might just go see it, and not because she is a good singer. It’s just that the Rocky Horror Picture Show was the best thing she ever did, and that was simply because she looked so stupid walking around in her underwear and saying “Brad” every other sentence. She really could do stupid.

I realize guys, this is a female’s point of view, it’s O.K., we agree, even though for different reasons.

Don’t you just love it when girls play bimbo’s to break into the movies and then go on and try to become heavyweight intellectuals to prove that there is more to them than breasts? It must be a trying life. Susan, as we all know, is still stuck in the time warp, and very wisely still plays the cleavage.

Anyway, Tim had to do the play in Athens to make his political statement to the world that he was in the city where democracy began. He is going to save the world.

Do to this dyspepsia overload…I sat down and read something that I have never had any desire to read, ever…and that was Karl Marx’s:”The Communist Manifesto.”

Blame it on Tim.

I must say, it was a fascinating read…the first part is very convincing. Karl covers the history of “class struggles.” The mean feudal lords had serfs. But then the serfs learned trades and made that horrible stuff, money, and got rid of the lords and then they became the big honchos. (He calls them the bourgeois.) Anyway history goes on and on, and always you keep having two classes--- the rich and the poor. He calls them the bourgeoisie (rich) and proletariat. (nobody’s) .

Then people started inventing terrible machines and inventions, which made millionaires who started taking over governments and political systems. But the rich cannot keep on top unless they constantly do new productions, which cause everlasting “agitation.” This makes the rich (like Wal-Mart) have to go everywhere all over the globe, and get it’s stuff in every country and compete with all the other rich in other countries. We now have the international market and global trade, right out of the Karl Marx playbook. Human kind has not changed much.

Well, it’s hard not to see some truth in all of this. And if you read the papers today, it reads much like the first part of the Manifesto, all the same arguments are there. Democrats love this “rich” against the “poor” stuff.

Karl does a good job, of selling the problem. And if you feel you struggle everyday, while some Exxon oil guy takes home 300 millions for not cleaning his teeth, you’re a fish looking at that bait. Your mouth is opening…and if you’re not careful…you have just swallowed the Karl Marx bait.

WORKINGMEN OF ALL COUNTRIES, UNIT!

The Karl writes the second part of his manifesto--- the solution, which is: the state takes over everything, all property, all families, uses a heavy “progressive” income tax, centralization of the means of communication and transport, and much more. The “state” to Karl Marx is the nobodies, or the common people.

In his cockeyed view, if no one owns anything, then everyone will be equal.

But in actuality, the “state” is never the nobodies, but just another class of rich guys enslaving the poor. He has solved nothing.

It really is most funny.

Whether Karl Marx really believed this nonsense for a solution, or whether he was just trying to set himself and his cronies up for a power grab, I can’t tell you. But, the first part was strong enough to sell the plan to half the world, which in turn, killed millions of people in the act of making them all equal.

Most poor would rather be poor and free, than equal and dead.

Now, I can’t tell you how many times I wondered when all these liberal actors and actresses who are spouting off at their premiers and concerts, pretty much sounding like disciples of Karl Marx myself; Are they stupid? Are they getting paid?

And most importantly, do they not realize that the reason they can do this is:

1. Because of capitalism, they are unbelievably rich.

2. And if they cared so much about the human race, wouldn’t they want the rest of us to have a shot at what they have? If America becomes Marxist the rest of us will not get a chance to paint our toenails with Kevin, or complain about the undercooked steak at Sardi’s.

No, they fly around the world and see all the poor people with nothing to eat, and decide that America, should help the rest of the poor dying people, and George Bush is killing men in Iraq, and Castro is a good guy, because he let them stay at his best hotels.

And Karl Marx sure knew what he was talking about.

Obviously, Bill and Hillary must have put on toga parties for all of them in Athens.

I decided to try to find out (in my imaginary interview) just why Tim Robbins, whose heart is perhaps in the right place, believes in Karl Marx.

JA: Tim, I’ve been meaning to ask you, just why do you feel the way you do?

Tim: Well, Joyanna, you must see we do not have a democracy in this country. We can’t even speak our minds…because if we do, thousands of stupid people who don’t understand how we are just trying to help them won’t go see our movies. (We have big bills to pay.)

JA: Tim, I can see your heart's in the right place, and I see that maybe you have read the first part of The Communist Manifesto, but did you finish it?

Tim: Hey, I’m not a communist, I believe in democracy.

JR: Well, I agree, according to our founders we have a republic, Tim, democracies are not good because the little guy will always get outvoted, the minority. Tim, you do want the little guy to have a say in things, don’t you? That’s why the founders hated democracies.

Tim: Yeah but, we have politicians giving oil companies really big tax breaks, while the little guy suffers. I now ride a donkey. And you know all those poor people in Mexico, just want to work. We need to make all wealth equal, everyone should have a donkey.

JR: Tim, communism has never worked anywhere. Wherever it was tried, you had more poor then in the systems that had republics. Millions have been killed in China, Russia, and Vietnam...

Tim: Well, we have killed more than that. Look at WWII, and the Indians! And, man, our soldier’s murder and torture!

JR: So Tim, you do not believe in self defense I see. Let me see, if someone was to kill Susan and your children right in front of your eyes, would you want to kill them or forgive them?

Tim: I would want to kill them, but I wouldn’t because really, it’s my own fault for being an American.

JR: So, are you saying that if I kill you now, for being a so-so actor, and uneducated--- Susan would not press chargers?

Tim: Are you kidding? She would make sure you died in a plane crash. She has friends you know. You’re a right-wing idiot and this interview is over! People like you are destroying the earth, in fact, most of the people like you should just get off this beautiful planet, you’re just polluting the air, you moron! You and Rush Limbaugh!

JR: Well, Tim, I guess we should end our interview now, Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me. I can see you limo is waiting for you.

Tim; Yeah...peace.

You think I should have told Tim that Karl Marx believed in violence? He believed in killing, to get power?

Nah.

Nobody’s Knows; Karl Marx said in the 1840’s there would be a United Europe and a United Americas. So Vicente Fox, has decided to help make this come true by legalizing drugs, so that all the American college kids will come down on spring break and get so high, that hey never leave. In fact, they will move to Cancun, and work for the Mexican government as drug cartels.

Nobody Cares; Bill Clinton wants you to know that he cares about your kids, he has mandated that all soda be taking out of the public schools. Soon, he will demand treadmills be put in all kindergarten classes, with personal trainers. Your property taxes will take care of this new Presidential order.

Nobody’s Perfect; Al Gore made a deal with the Russians in 1995 in which they promised not to sell nuclear weapons to Iran. But, two years later, 600 Russian scientists were in Iran’s nuclear plants. Al forgot to tell Congress about this great deal.
