“Whoever ‘controlled’ the
understanding of
(September 11) in America ‘controlled’ America, or at any rate
was in a position to set
the terms of
disputes over political legitimacy in post (September 11) America.”
The Burden of Responsibility Tony Judt
he had copied it onto some
scratch paper
to hold
and sometime
later he went to share it as a header in a letter to his daughter
however
he
pulled back
she might have been
humored but she was apolitical and
wouldnt soon
appear on any political list or foodchain unless he scribbled her
name at its bottom
none of his children were
political and he didnt know if that fact meant he failed them
or
if because he was so virulently
-- nearly compulsively --
political
and the
WHO
who controlled its terms
the
disputes over post September 11s political legitimacy was Illegitimate
no more equipped to manage that fearsome
awesome responsiblility than find its ass
with both its hands
his children found politics
repellent
and while he also found
politics repellent
Governance was critical
however
witnessing
it subsumed by buffoons and mediocrity that
certain politicians could be
elected by a majority of their constituents what then did that fact say of those Districts
and Geographies who elected them
it sufficed for him to say the
carpetbombings broadcasted
during the 60s on the Evening News television channels
which titillated their American viewers
may have been more effective had they fallen inside
America
than outside it
last evenings News supported his
wayward notion
It reported that militias of masked
men (and women) Without Standing or Recognized
by the American Government were
terrorizing Central American refugees on the
border between Texas and Mexico
Texass Governor and His immediate lackey running for Governor of Texas in November
hadnt
addressed or taken any action against the
-- politely --
illegitimacy -- honestly
-- terrorism -- inside their State
and this to his mind was Evidence that the
political control who reigned
degenerately in post September 11 America
had enabled this profanity
enabled cowardly masked American terrorists and deadpan barefaced political
poseurs
