of mice and gods

you are listening britney spears concert

you are in the front row

you feel bit of sorry for her
because she lost custody battle for her children

there is no doubt about it:
she is not a good mother

  there are photos of her joggling the kid, and the glass of alcoholic drink

you heard corroborated stories of her neglecting her children in many ways

  but you do feel sorry for her losing all rights of seeing her children unsupervised

this is too drastic

  even the prisoners in jails have a right to sometimes meet loved ones in private rooms
without guards present

this court was hard on ms. spears

but you can help her
you can help anyone
you are the king of spin
  alistair campbell is just a side kick for you

here comes your idea for help...


you turn around
180 degrees

you are facing the audience now

  you are using your contact mike
and small but very powerfull speaker

  you are using the pitch band effect
to make your voice sound like the voice of britney spears

  she says: "are you having a good time?"

audience says "yes"

britney spears thinks that this is the end of the dialogue
 
she is getting ready to sing another song
when you suddenly start pretending that you r britney spears
 
using your pitch change effect
  and small but powerful amp

you say:

"are your kids also having a good time?"

  audience growls back:

  "yeees!!!"

(thinking that it was ms spears talking to them
whilst it was you actually)


  then you (pretending to be britney) say :

"i hope that my children are also having a good time...."

(you pause dramatically):

"...with their father only".


--------------------------------------

after the concert you slowly stroll down the main street
  into some funny little bohemian cafe
where one of the guests suddenly starts reciting the poetry

you are irritated by this
you tell him that this poem is good, but too long
and that written word is written word
whilst spoken word is spoken word

this poem was written for people to read it
from he book

if is the right one for reciting
  he would know it by heart
he wouldn't need to read it from the book 

dickens use to do reading tours
  but it was the time without film and tv
when audience had patience for listening the recital
of what was actually written word

it was also the chance to meet the writer

but this guy here is reading someones else poetry
in the age where written and spoken word are quite a different matter
very separated

you think that you can make your point obvious
by reminding him that this is the reason why political speeches do not work well
unless they are spoken by heart
without reading

  ...but... then you realize that most of the political speeches are actually delivered by reading ...



... you can remember drunken speech of w. bush that you have seen on youtube the other day...

  he says that this is one of the many he gave

he seams to be sick a tired of repeating more or less the same

especially because these are not his own words really

  suddenly you become aware of what the presidents role essentially is

  he is the mouth piece of the extraterrestrial collective
ruling the earth

  this collective is keen to put all of their orders and directives
into the mouth  of one person
(be it a "god" or "president" , depending on how important and universal particular speech or directive is)
  because they want to present the unified, unison, front towards us, earthlings

  all their personal differences are their own private matter
  resolved among them
  far away from what we can see and hear

  in their relationship with us they are "faultless"
and they speak with one voice

they use pompous empty shells of 'god' or 'president'
to emphasise 'singularity' of what is de facto compromise between various races, species, galaxies and universes
result of voting, fighting and intrigues
  from which earthlings are excluded 

denial of all those intrigues, quarrels and compromises
(resulting in 'ten commandments' "presidential or papal orders' etc)
  is necessary to assure that we remain excluded from negotiations
  (as long as most of us are not aware of those shenanigans
we are not going to demand any involvement with it)
