The Process Or Kafka's Dream Part 3 (Revised)

Could anyone think this uneducated? and undereducated mass of unemployed or underemployed, aged humanity, should, could or would, be able to rightly determine anyone’s fate? What farce, this democratic process? this capitalistic rigmarole; Serving, in the end, to do little more than place another Mc’D’s burger, on the table of a fat civil servant. This system of blind, weighted, judgment, assured anything BUT justice. Assured, as it always has, and always will; only peons remaining peons; busily buzzing about their self-important tasks paid, unpaid and pissed on. Aiding the true criminals, the ones; perpetuating poverty, homelessness, illness, and ignorance; in remaining in power. The Jury was called. The clocked marked the passing of the hour with black hands on a white face and all that was truly seen was gray.

and now we come back to Harper Lee. Black hands on a white face seems racial, like black servitutde for the rich white man's cause. My interpretation anyway...in the end Deb it's always Gray because money pulls on the Judge's puppet strings and you the impartial jury get a say in how guilty you think the criminal is. Then the judge gets to sentence him for 6 months on a first degree murder charge (Bob Dylan - The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll, your type of song:) Love Vince's comment also.

HEY!! Thank you. This collection, which is so well written, says it all about our society as it stands, both ultra liberal and ultra conservative with the power hungry politicians feeding off of the populace. Of course the only real difference is the conservative says Tough s--t, if you're down do something about it, we're not your mother and the liberal says stay enslaved and we'll take care of you. Seems like either way we lose. Good to hear from you. Vince
