omnipresent stupidity

the stupidity of the home-owner who imagines the wall around his house gives him the rights to do anything,

the stupidity of the El Pasoan who builds a wall around his boxy house and believes himself to inhabit an independent country, which he rules as king,

the stupidity of the American who fails to notice that his country's military is poking its nose in a dozen or more countries around the world where it has no business,

the stupidity of the American who doesn't realize that his cheap bananas have been paid for with blood

etc

etc

etc

the stupidity of the individual home, isolated and separate only in the imagination of its owner,

stands part-for-whole in relation to the massive ignorance and deliberate blindness of the real effects that actions here have over there......

my car--global warming

my purchases----and all of the unwanted and harmful side-effects all across the globe

Let's close our eyes until......

I don't want to imagine how that sentence could be completed.
