Abandon Unsustainable Programmed Hyper-Consumption

Junk all your oversized, poorly-built, gas guzzlers you silly hypnotized children

Realize that others are not sleeping as you relax in a comatose and ignorant arrogance

Convert your laughable McMansions into comfortable multi-family residences

Quit replacing productive farms and fields with sterile rows of throwaway dream homes

Build it to last and not to just make a quick buck and strut away with a cynical smirk

Ask how others are building spaceships, capping CO2 and recycling - without whining

Wander out of this cultural desert and think, just once, what you leave for the future

Go visit the castles and churches they have preserved from a thousand years ago

Quit tossing away all this hyper-packaging and compost the 25% of food you waste

Find out how they tunneled subways beneath their ancient cities but we simply won’t afford it

Scream bloody murder about the sinful waste of ever-increasing military spending

Don’t let them shovel so-called clean coal down your lungs as a green alternative energy source

Only flush your toilet with just enough water to get the job cleanly done

Bury the fast food corporate giants underneath a vast and empty indifference

Learn what real bread is and shut down the meat animal death camps

Simply slash the fat, cut the sugar, remove the salt and reduce the calories

Quit eating just because you are artificially nervous and overwrought

Forget silly gas-powered wreckreation and engage your body in real outdoor activity

Silence all the artificially noisy airplanes, trucks, motorcycles and automobiles

Just don’t let them charge any more useless shit that they cannot even afford

Get their god out of your pocketbook by taxing these sham corporate salvation franchises

Put the environment and our future ahead of this quarter’s stock price

Learn to speak and read at least your native language - and then we can talk

Out the corporate subsidy hoax of corn-based bio-fuel before it costs even more

Quit justifying eco-rape and unsustainability by falsely pitting them against people and jobs

Challenge the ridiculous notion that healthcare is, or even should be, left to the free market

Don’t let big coal and oil stifle the alternative energy boom that’s sweeping the world

Dump the black or white, just say no, do-nothing two-party system and embrace working coalitions

Cook good food at home and make them clean their plates and do the damn dishes

Wake up and think for yourself before they come to carry you off the couch on your back

Have A Problem? Just Start A Market To Fix It!

We can trade carbon emissions like fresh produce at some quaint village market

the good power plant owners and auto producers will display their earthy wares

they can barter with jolly fund managers for promises to plant new trees somewhere

Let’s credit default swap undernourished children baking in desert refugee camps

we’ll speculate on them like pork belly futures on the mercantile exchange

god bless them and all but, at times, we’ll have to hedge our investment and sell them short

We need to start charging for the priceless air that we breathe each and every minute

but it should cost a little less if it’s not quite as pure and clean as we really need

we’re not talking intrusive taxes here, for this is your free enterprise system at work

Ignorance is another so-called free good that we all take for granted

to remain willfully or otherwise uneducated should cost you some money

but countries could exchange this item for bulk quantities of pure blind faith

Let’s start a market to reduce our usage of self-centered greed

third world residents could improve their lot with a bit of this magical elixir

we just need a mechanism to allow them to trade us a bit of the patience of poverty

We’ve mortgaged all our futures now, so let’s trade them on the open market

they already buy and sell the loans we take out on our overpriced homes and cars

even an indentured future would be attractive to those overseas who have none at all

How about a place to pick up Traditional Family Values© in convenient takeout form

busy moms and commuting dads could grab some to share with the kids at home

the unemployed and the elderly could provide a seemingly endless and pure supply

We ought to be able to get top dollar for things like mercy and understanding

maybe we could trade acts of peace and love for weapons-making rights,

force those who profit on mass killing to deal with those dreamy-eyed, squishy tree-huggers

We need a better mechanism to invest all that time we save each and every day

it seems to leak from our lives like water off a roof way before we can ever use it

maybe we could find a way to earn interest on all those savings that we never touch

If drinking was limited to a fixed amount per member of the adult population

the virtuous poor could trade their rights to the hard-charging, heavy-drinking rich

and the homeless alcoholics would have to sober up every year by early March

Creating a pool of licenses which granted the rights to a child would enable trade

the infertile but doting rich could spoil and fatten more of their own venal offspring

government could then provide more opportunity to the smaller number of poor children

It’s time-consuming to go and vote and then there’s the flawed counting process

let’s let the market decide thru campaign contributions and give the results to charity

since in almost every single election the winner is the one who collects the most, anyhow

We should sell rights to smoking, overeating and lack of exercise

as these are the things we need to avoid to maintain our valuable good health

then just those with money could get diabetes, heart disease and strokes

Let’s allow the marketplace to decide which of our national forests will survive

if they cannot pay their way with tourists, hunters, offroaders, coal, timber or gas

we’ll sell them off to the highest bidding developer and cut out any further losses

We should turn this business of species preservation over to private enterprise

let non-profits compete with donations against corporate capital on habitat conservation

who could argue over winners and losers in the blindly just world of the free market?

It’s time we subsidize the oil companies in a competition to manage our water supplies

this inefficient and overly-expensive government control must go

for with impending shortages, corporations will best make optimized allocations for us all

Let’s put a value on our son’s lives by letting families sponsor surrogate soldiers

we’ll graduate the payment scale based on family income

the rich can pay to substitute 3 or 4 poor foreign boys to fight in place of their precious sons

Let’s seed a franchise market to take over our failed educational system

for our graduating children are no longer able to assume personal responsibility

so let’s let the blind hand of god’s Darwinian marketplace reveal the fittest curriculum

Let’s speculate in major religions based on the number of souls on their books

we can gauge their performance on outlets opened and percent capacity filled

that way, the popes and imams could raise venture capital instead of so vilely fleecing the poor...
