WRITING IN THE DARK

MAY DAY

THE LAST SUNSET FOR THE US SPACE INDUSTRY

PRIVATIZED

                                               MY HUSBAND SLEEPS AS I WRITE IN THE DARKENED BEDROOM.  IT'S BLAZING SUN OUTSIDE AT 10 AM IN LATE APRIL IN FLORIDA.  WE WENT TO THE OCEAN YESTERDAY AT PLAYALINDA BEACH AT CAPE CANAVERAL NATIONAL SEASHORE.  IT WAS LOW TIDE.  THE WATER WAS WARM AND PERFECT FOR SWIMMING IN SPIT EOF AN UNDERTOW.  THE WAVES ROLLED IN LIKE IN HAWAII.  THE BEACH STRETCHED FOR MILES-25 TO BE  EXACT.  THE SPACE SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR WAS ON THE LAUNCH PAD AT EH FAR END OF THE BEACH;  THE FISH WERE JUMPING ONTO THE FISHERMAN'S HOOKS.  (AND THE COTTON WAS HIGH)-ACTUALLY IT WAS MAGNOLIA BLOSSOMS. 
                                             THE PRESIDENT IS HEADING FOR MIAMI RIGHT AFTER THE APRIL 29TH SECOND TO LAST SPACE SHUTTLE LAUNCH.  AT LEAST HE'S NOT IN JOLLY OLD ENGLAND AT THE  ROYAL WEDDING.  HE'LL SPEAK AT THE  GRADUATION  AT MIAMI=DADE COLLEGE WHERE NUMEROUS HISPANICS AND BLACKS GRADUATE.  LUCKY THEM.  EVERY OTHER STUDENT DROPS OUT DUE TO IMPRACTICAL EDUCATION STANDARDS AND SUBJECTS NOT RELEVANT TO  THE NECESSITIES OF THE REAL WORLD.  MOST MANUFACTURING JOBS HAVE BEEN OUTSOURCED TO CHINA ETC.  MOST TECHNICAL JOBS ARE OVERSEAS TOO.  AMERICA'S YOUTH INCLUDING FUTURE ROCKET SCIENTIST HAVE NO OPPORTUNITIES EXCEPT IN HEALTH,TOURISM OR SERVICE INDUSTRIES.  EVEN PUBLIC EMPLOYEES AND TEACHERS ARE BEING ATTACKED.  EVERYTHING HAS BEEN OUTSOURCED TO INCREASE CORPORATE PROFITS.  IT'S SUPPOSED TO TRICKLE DOWN TO US.  GE WITH ITS CORPORATIONS OFF SHORE PAID N O INCOME TAX LAST YEAR.

OUTSOURCED

                                                   CENTRAL FLORIDA WITH ITS OUTSOURCED FEDERAL WORKERS IS TOO REPUBLICAN FOR THE DEMOCRATS.  SO THE PRESIDENT IS OFF TO MIAMI TO CAJOLE THE DEMOCTATIC BASE.
