Free ride.....

“T’is a cramped ‘n lonely place,
this little blue marble that we stride,
spinning itself to death in space,
so all of us may ride.......”

Ev’rybody wants a free ride but back in those halcyon days of hippiedom when personal freedom was the goal, seems like ev’ry psychedelic VW van wore the same motto...”gas, grass or ass, nobody rides for free”.....
which was actually a fairly clever way of stating that life is really pretty much a pay as you go state of affairs...
ah well.....I don’t really believe those long ago hippies were thinking that deeply....possibly becuz ‘clouds’ got in the way...
‘N clouds may be getting in the way of Obama as more ‘n more (seemingly anyway) of the national media are beginning to question some of his campaign rhetoric...I guess it didn’t matter to them until after the election ‘n now some of ‘em are having second tho’ts....well, sweeping rhetoric is nice s’long as there is someone coming along behind to sweep up things....talking about clean ‘n green is nice but someone has t’pick up the trash ‘n you can bet the farm that it ain’t gonna be Obama or Gore....f’r that matter, don’t look t’see Joe Biden out there either...or any other of the 535 members of our ‘do as we say, not as we do’ Congress...Heck! We all know who’s gonna be the ones to actually do the grunt work...
(You already knew the answer to this one, didn’t you)....
That’s right! The invisible people who can’t get their green cards.....mostly Mexican but what the heck, we won’t discriminate...anyone who sneaks into the good ol US of A illegally is qualified t’do stoop labor....cuz, y’know, there ain’t no such thing as a free ride.....
y’know.....
