Yeah, for some reason, the FAA takes a dim view of planes dropping things
out of the sky. The USPA licenses people, and the FAA is happy as long as
these people follow the FAA and USPA rules for skydiving.

I always thought that poetry had to rhyme also, but lately (the last several
years) another school of thought has developed, in which ideas, thoughts,
dreams, whatever, can be put on paper in a way that, even though it has no
rhyme, the reader actually feels as well as reads the thoughts of the
writer. I'm certainly no expert on the subject, but I do know that your poem
made me feel what I am sure you felt as you wrote it. Your husband must have

About..............Poetry..........
When I was in school in English Lit the teachers tried to convince me that
poetry called blank verse was the wave of the future. It's supposed to have
meter (the da dah da dah da dah beat) but doesn't have to rhyme.
Guess I'm old fashioned, but if it neither rhymes nor has a meter I feel its
just prose. If it has meter but no rhyme I may read it once or so, but it
doesn't grab me. Oh well..........

The Faceless One.
Not knowing who your are,
I still despise you greatly.
The mysteries you possess,
I envy you in my ignorance.
Lives are spent in fear of you.
We wait for your arrival
like the sheep wait for the Jackal,
trembling with an unknown ancient dread.
Love and possessions have no meaning to you.
You rob, steal and cheat,
yet, no law can hold you in it's grasp.
You are a law above all laws.
In complete happiness,
you are there, waiting.
In the joy of a new born,
you can not be put asunder.
You miss nothing.
The oak bends to your will.
You have no mercy.
I shake my fist in your face.
Your ears are deaf to pleading.
Prayer is futile.
Righteous anger holds little meaning.
Promises fall at your feet.
Yet, what is this I feel?
Side by side with my hatred and anger,
is another subtle evasive thing.
It has not formed fully.
Such thoughts I must put aside.
The sky is beautiful.
The wind is clean.
Stay away. Don't come near.
But, no.
You are still there.
The wind cannot disperse you.
It only scatters your seeds.
Oh, dreaded death,
can it be that someday
I will embrace you?
Will my arms be welcoming?
My soul trembles with these heavy thoughts.
Your mysteries still prevail.
Be it truth, I will except.
But until then, I hate you.

Interventionism was theoretically renounced by Presidents
Hoover and Roosevelt in favor of the Good Neighbor policy,
though the renunciation was conditional on good behavior; the
Roosevelt Administration relied on the threat of force to
install the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista in Cuba when it
was feared that US commercial interests might be threatened
by the civilian government of Dr. Ramon Grau San Martin. But
this was an exception. By that time, European competition -
the major concern - had been effectively contained, and the
US reigned unchallanged, capable of attaining its objectives
by political and economic power. Furthermore, domestic
military forces trained and supplied by the US could impose
order and stability - that is, could guarantee the Fifth
Freedom - without the Marines. Dictatorships, however brutal
and corrupt, were acceptable to the Hoover and Roosevelt
Administrations as long as they satisfied this condition.
By the time the Good Neighbor policy was officially
announced, Nicaragua was effectively controlled by the most
important of these domestic guardians of order, Somoza's
National Guard, while the Trujillo dictatorship ruled in the
Dominican Republic through the medium of the National Guard,
also established as a result of US intervention. Martinez
had taken over in El Salvador after the *Matanza*, soon to be
recognized by the US, and most of the rest of the region was
also in safe hands by 1940 as the US replaced France and
Britain. Meanwhile Roosevelt created the Export-Import Bank
to subsidize US exports and in general acted to increase the
dependency of the Central American nations on the US for
food, as they shifted to export crops to the US, with grim
long-term effects. The Good Neighbor policy relied on
regimes which occasionally went through the forms of
elections for propaganda purposes, meanwhile maintaining a
status quo in which the Fifth Freedom was preserved and "2
percent or less of the population in four of the five Central
American nations controlled the land and hence the lives of
the other 98 percent." Dictatorships were thus "not a
paradox but a necessity for the system, including the Good
Neighbor policy," which "carried on interventionism in
Central America and tightened the system far beyond anything
Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson probably imagined."
The good Neighbor policy was summed up by journalist William
Krehm, who observed its effects on the spot: "First there had
been intervention to impose a puppet and then - in the name
of non-intervention - propaganda, funds, and connivance to
keep him in the saddle."
Quite generally, state policy served to guarantee business
interests. In the rare conflicts between them, the state
generally prevailed, a consequence to be expected, as LaFeber
aptly observes, "if a *system* was to be maintained." This
pattern is quite a regular one. The state is concerned to
maintain a system based on the Fifth Freedom, and the
parochial interests of particular corporations, even major
ones such as the oil companies, sometimes conflict with this
end, in which case the state, representing the long-term
global interests of US capitalism, generally prevails. At
times, the very same individuals will reach different
decisions in their institutional roles as corporate
executives or state managers, not surprisingly, given the
different framework of planning guided by essentially the
same interests. Such cases may foster a conception of
independence of the state from dominant business interests,
largely an illusion, though not entirely so as a close
examination indicates.

Hey..........Everyone
I put up a Christmas tree every year for the kids. I have an artificial
tree that I've used for several seasons. To get the evergreen smell, I buy
an armful of cut off branches at a tree lot.
As far as symbolism, I have taught my youngsters that the Christmas tree is
merely a symbol, much like a birthday cake is, of the more important event
that we are celebrating, the anniversary of the birth of the Messiah.
As for any irreligionists and so-called atheists, thank you for lighting
your tree every year to help us commemorate the birth of the Son of God. I
know the origins of the festival go back to pagan times, but I feel that if
you were really against the concept of God, you would celebrate the
solstice on the 21st, and stay at work on the 25th of December!

4 Planning For Global Hegemony
As World War II came to an end, US ideas concerning Latin
America were clarified by Secretary of War Henry Stimson (May
1945), in a discussion of how we must eliminate and dismantle
all regional systems dominated by any other power,
particularly the British, while maintaining and extending
our own. With regard to Latin America, he explained
privately: "I think that it's not asking too much to have our
little region over here ((namely, Latin America)) which never
has bothered anybody."
It should be noted that US officials had a ready explanation
for the distinction between control by the US and by other
powers. As Abe Fortas explained with regard to US
truseeship plans in the Pacific, which Churchill regarded as
a cover for annexation: "When we take over the Marianas and
fortify them we are doing so not only on the basis of our own
right to do so but as part of our obligation to the security
of the world... These reservations were being made in the
interest of world security rather than of our own security...
what was good for us was good for the world." On such
assumptions, naturally regarded highly by US officials and
ideologists, quite a range of actions became legitimate.
In keeping with Stimson's conception, the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, through 1945 and early 1946, insisted that
non-American forces must be kept out of the Western
Hemisphere, which "is a distinct military entity, the
integrity of which is a fundamental postulate of our security
in the event of another world war." In January 1947,
Secretary of War Patterson added that the resources of
Latin America were essential to the US because "it is
imperative that our war potential be enhanced...during any
national emergency." Patterson gave an expansive
interpretation of the Monroe Doctrine, consistent with the
Wilson corollary: the Docrine meant "that we not only refuse
to tolerate foreign colonization, control, or the extension
of a foreign political system to our hemisphere, but we take
alarm from the appearance on the continent of foreign
ideologies, commercial exploitation, cartel arrangements, or
other symptoms of increased non-hemispheric influence." The
US must have "a stable, secure, and friendly flank to the
South, not confused by enemy penetration, political, economic
or military." The prime concern was not the USSR but rather
Europe, including sales of arms by the British to Chile and
Ecuador, by Sweden to Argentina, and by France to Argentina
and Brazil.
