Phil Ochs -- Love me, I'm a liberal
|
İ cried when they shot Medgar Evers
Tears ran down my spine
I cried when they shot Mr. Kennedy
As though I'd lost a father of mine
But Malcolm X got what was coming
He got what he asked for this time
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
I go to civil rights rallies
And I put down the old D.A.R.
I love Harry and Sidney and Sammy
I hope every colored boy becomes a star
But don't talk about revolution
That's going a little bit too far
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
I cheered when Humphrey was chosen
My faith in the system restored
I'm glad the commies were thrown out
of the A.F.L. C.I.O. board
I love Puerto Ricans and Negros
as long as they don't move next door
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
The people of old Mississippi
Should all hang their heads in shame
I can't understand how their minds work
What's the matter don't they watch Les Crain?
But if you ask me to bus my children
I hope the cops take down your name
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
I read New republic and Nation
I've learned to take every view
You know, I've memorized Lerner and Golden
I feel like I'm almost a Jew
But when it comes to times like Korea
There's no one more red, white and blue
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
I vote for the democratic party
They want the U.N. to be strong
I go to all the Pete Seeger concerts
He sure gets me singing those songs
I'll send all the money you ask for
But don't ask me to come on along
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
Once I was young and impulsive
I wore every conceivable pin
Even went to the socialist meetings
Learned all the old union hymns
But I've grown older and wiser
And that's why I'm turning you in
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
Tears ran down my spine
I cried when they shot Mr. Kennedy
As though I'd lost a father of mine
But Malcolm X got what was coming
He got what he asked for this time
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

'Loving, is it tough living with a cancer diagnosis,' a friend asked? 'Nope....'
Hi. The other day in an email, among the things a friend commented on,
very compassionately, was how difficult it must be with a cancer diagnosis.
I didn't mean to blow past that, it was just that other things in that
email grabbed my attention.
In well over a decade I'm unaware of any second that my own mortality
has concerned me personally, as it might have in my earliest years. HOWEVER, my mortality as it relates to the benefit or cost thereof to
those to whom I
am trying to be a benefit concerns, and conerned me throughout adulthood,
greatly. Even 20 years ago, or so, off and on, when business downturns
threatened my income, layoffs, whatever, and my life was of little emotional benefit to the woman I was married to, and the two bio-sons I had, otherwise, my only thought was how to commit suicide in
such a way that they could collect on the insurance, that I would not lead the boys to ever do the same, and in a way that they all would not be too embarrassed, or traumatized (grossed-out) by how I off'd myself. Obviously I squeakedby on this one, never figured out a way that satisfied all those
requirements. Well, except I 'killed' myself to be sure the income kept coming, thru the downturns, fulfilling my Loving duty as husband and father, as best I knew to do. LOL.
It will be interesting to see if things change, but regarding the cancer, so far
not a twinge of personal concern. My guess is that if and when it takes me,
I'll probably be able to get into a hospice to manage the pain, tho even when
just weeks ago I was guessing till-death institutionalization due to the Death Fast, guessing the cancer would take me, painfully, in a psych ward, still, no twinge of concern for myself.
It is pretty simple - Life is ONLY found in the face of the emergency of others - I greedily do whatever I have to to Live there - now, averting global Ecocide - I soooo completely identify with the billions we are torturing that there just isn't room to be concerned with myself, EXCEPT as it relates to removing a tool, an avatar, a Loving Spirit from a role that may be beneficial to them. I am not reckless, casual or irresponsible with these tools I've been given to work for others. But these tools, me, are of interest as a means to an end not in themselves. It is Heaven. Sanity. "If you seek to hold on to your life, you will lose it. If you seek to lose (totally give) your Life for the sake of our global neediest Family, you will Gain your Life." Amen.
What may seem confusing, and contradictory to this is, well, my depression
of last week or so - completely gone now. That was zero concern about
my own mortality or suffering -it was horror at how to keep serving in view of
nice, Nurse Ratched-responding folks around me that seemed all to happy
to have me 'Dead' for 6 months in a place like Christ House (no internet, no working, no laptop...) while 60% of that time I otherwise maybe could be fighting for our kids! That was a horror to me, "Cuckoo's Nest," the prospects of being useless to our billions for half a year! The horror of the nice folks around me so zombie-like, dead, clueless, heart-dead. Did you ever see "The English Patient?" And of course, "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?"

'DC City Threatening to Throw Out All my Belongings' Loving
While I was at the library making final preparations for 6 months in chemo prison the DC City guys came by to throw out my belongings. I'll guess the Canadian Embassy made a complaint. I bear no grudges. The City is within their Rights. I Pray it doesn't come down to my stuff being thrown out with just several weeks before I enter prison, and have the stuff stored. Hmmmm.
I'll stay on a much shorter leash than I have in recent weeks, as I've been preparing for prison, and fortunately that prep work is all but done.
We'll see. If someone is out to get me, they will. I'll still leave for 20 min if I need the rest-room and late afternoon for 50 min for the homeless dinner truck.
If they are not out to 'get' me, it will be ok. We'll see.
I have a 3 hour med cancer screening next week, and a three hour cancer consult the following week. It will be interesting. There probably isn't anyone to watch it for me. :-(
NOTE: The reason I know of the city's visit? A homeless guy, black, late 60ish, very staunch, very solitary, not 'friendly,' saw the city messing with the stuff and spoke up for me. I've been here 8 months, and he maybe 15 years, I've heard. In all but the last 3 weeks he has treated me like pariah. But while respecting his space, I'm his brother, and when I know of a bad-weather report, I'll quickly pass word to him. When I receive extra food, I'll offer it to him. I literally don't look at him for a reply, because that is what I think he expects, someone offering something expecting something in return, even 'thanks.' I NEVER look for anything in return. My every breath is given as a brother. The 'giving' is the Joy - it is the Gift, to Self. But obviously it has engendered in him a higher level of humanity. That is the entire reason we are here - to bring Loving into the world. That is the work of Saving.

Hmmmm. Survival rate Colon, Liver cancer -
Colon Cancer
Colon cancer diagnosis is often delayed due to absence of definite symptoms. The treatment option at this stage include surgical removal of the tumor along with affected surrounding organs. However, this treatment option is not viable in case the cancer has spread to other organs like liver, lungs etc. Five year survival rate for this cancer is about 8 to 15%.
Liver Cancer
It is pretty rare in western countries but quite common in developing countries. If stage 4 liver cancer goes untreated, about 90% of patients will succumb to disease within a year. If a successful liver transplant with no complications has been performed, the patient may leave for another 5 years. About 36% people may live beyond that.
