It may be politically incorrect to say but there is not a black or brown person living in the USA who does not have "privilege." It is called, "empire privilege," the result of living in an empire nation that benefits from US Dollar hegemony, and the corollary benefits resulting from exploitation of de facto "colonies" serving the empire. What that means is that when that black or brown person shops at Walmart or Costco, he/she reaps the empire benefits of ultra cheap goods that most other nations can only dream about. There is not a black or brown person living in the USA who is not guilty of cultural appropriation. When the black or brown person benefits daily from the scientific inventions (e.g., telephone, electricity, automobile, airplane, etc.) of European descendants, he/she effectively "appropriates" from whites with complete indifference. The entire specious concept of "white privilege" was created by enemies of the USA melting pot, who seek to divide the nation into warring factions, effectively a tyranny of minorities aimed against the majority. It is far past time to end nonsensical intellections, such as "African-Americans," originating from the minds of frustrated, angry, professors in black studies programs. It is far past time for Americans to unite as one and cease thinking of themselves only in terms of ethnic background, gender, or any other category that divides us. If America can not restore its vaunted melting pot, then it is doomed.

Outsourcing and globalization of manufacturing allows companies to reduce costs, benefits consumers with lower cost goods and services, causes economic expansion that reduces unemployment, and increases productivity and job creation.

Totally. Totally. Totally Bummed
Totally. Totally. Totally bummed.
Totally. Totally. Totally bummed.
Significant this feeling is,
Hard to overcome.
When an aging is apparent,
And nothing can be done.
And when one has a wisdom,
One developes more and more...
The pressure to pretend there isn't,
Can not be ignored.
Oh, totally. Totally. Totally bummed.
Being now an elder,
Overnight has stunned.
Totally. Totally. Totally bummed.
No more looking 26.
Overnight has stunned.
Disappearing quick was 36.
Overnight has stunned.
And the 46 that came...
Picked up 56 and split.
And now I can't believe it,
I am elderly legit.
Oh, totally. Totally. Totally bummed.
Being now an elder,
Overnight has stunned.
Totally. Totally. Totally bummed.
Being now an elder,
Overnight has stunned.

Globalization And The Third World Countries
Globalization and the third world countries,
This light suppose to be outside than inside! !
And out of proverty to satisfy my muse,
For we are now holding Hi-Tec Mobile Phones in our hands.
All our natural resources are taken away at cheaper rates and,
The third world countries do pay back heavily on these Hi-Tec products! !
All in the name of globalization;
With cheap labour on our part to help grow the wealth of the Richer Nations!
And, we become poorer begging for alms than ever,
For, globalization has taken over our respective economies! ! !
But, always hoping that, there will be a better way out one day.

The globalization of the capital market is actually part of economic globalization. This will create a change in the entire world economy, not just restricted to some fields in some countries.

It is people who are the objects of globalization and at the same time its subjects. What also follows logically from this is that globalization is not a law of nature, but rather a process set in train by people.

Scuffing!
blue collar people,
scuffing for work,
in their forties and fifties,
no one wants to hire....
eight dollar an hour,
ten dollar an hour,
whatever you can find...
no benefits, no health insurance...
pray you dont get sick....
emergency room visits,
broken arm, day surgery...
a bill for $15,000....
you cant pay, you cant pay...
just a few groceries,
pay a little on the rent,
scuffing for work, scuffing,
just trying to survive!

Having-Less-Is-More
Money isn't 'everything' you know?
'Ooooohhh mon ami,
Big dummy you!
YOUR money may not be 'everything'.
Or not nearly what it use to be.
However...
SOMEWHERE someone is spending it,
Caring less about your limitation.
Or who has good or bad or indifferent credit.
And they have yet to accept greed as a motive,
To live a happy life! '
I am not referring to foreigners,
I am talking about us...
Living today in 'this' country.
'Oh?
I see.
So you've already adopted,
That 'Having-Less-Is-More' attitude?
Good for you.
You make me proud.
But as for me...
Give me a ten dollar bill anytime.
Even a five dollar bill,
Seems less than a dollar these days.'

Million Dollar Face
You were hungry for the lights,
You spent your nights with socialites
Youre a million-dollar baby
With the million dollar blues
And you only gave your time to people you could use
Million dollar face with million dollar grace
You got off to a real bad start
Million dollar face in million dollar lace
You wound with a two cent heart
You were mine for just a little while
But true to style and with a smile you said,
I have to leave you, baby, hold me one more time
cause I know where I should be and its a long hard climb
Million dollar face with million dollar grace
You got off to a real bad start
Million dollar face in million dollar lace
You wound with a two cent heart
Million dollar face with million dollar grace
You got off to a real bad start
Million dollar face in million dollar lace
You wound with a two cent heart

A Timelessness Spent in Shared Regret
If I thought any part of yesterday I lived,
Had existing benefits for me...
I'd be still there living in it.
Like many nonbelieving,
Time without their participation...
Continues to move on.
And does so to leave those,
Doing exactly what they please.
And the ones who chose not to grow...
With a hope that their grasp,
On times they would like to keep unchanged...
Will convince others,
Who are equally blessed with immaturity!
Have only one thing to look forward to.
The guaranteed benefits of expressing,
A timelessness spent in shared regret.

And if my mama could read my mind shed lock me up

Play the game and let me do the same
And we gonna get along, gonna get along, gonna get along fine
Watchin out for my heart
But when I am near you
Near you aint the place to start, no, no, no, no
Takin it slow
Whenever I cross your trail, my brakes just fail
My love is so hot, totally hot

Silver Dollar
I shouldve known you couldnt take it
You had to make it with another man
You know thats true baby
And I can play that game if you can
Its been a long time since Ive come here
To give you what you need
My roots are in chicago
But I know where I want to plant my seed
I bet a silver dollar youd love another
And you know that silver dollar, it would make me rich
Girl like you, easy pitch
But I miss you now youre gone
Im coming home girl just to show you
Whats this mans been living for
A tip for you, dont be surprised baby
When I come busting through that door
I bet a silver dollar youd love another
And even though that silver dollar would make me rich
I want to tell you that there is a hitch
I miss you know youre gone
And all I got left is my old guitar

Last Dollar On Earth
Yeah!
Line up!
Step right this way to see the last dollar on earth
Sign up!
The bus leaves today to see the last dollar on earth
Behold the wonder of the modern age
Displayed resplendent in its gilded cage
Theres not another in the world today,
And you just cant take it with you
All night!
Theres a special tonight about the last dollar on earth
Thats right!
And all the pundits were right about the last dollar on earth
Its always occupied a special space
We keep a guard around it just in case
Many have died to have its fleeting grace,
But you just cant take it with you
Get set!
Only one pint of blood
To see the last dollar on earth
No sweat!
Only one ounce of flesh to touch the last dollar on earth
When we lose exposure in its permanent enclosure
Then you can be sure that well take it on tour
So when it comes to call at your local shopping mall
Though the crowds may be large,
You can put it on your mastercharge
