Where our relationships with horses are concerned, they certainly seem to be signposts and symbols of what's going on with the self destructive policies of various governments, including that of the U.S.   And, history may note, if written accurately and before the actual extinction of human lifeforms, that the very beginning of the twenty-first century was marked by the United States having a morally and intellectually defective moron for a president, whose ideologies included an unprecedented acceleration of a governmental fool's mission to attempt to impose its controls over all life forms on the planet Earth, largely through denials of freedoms of choice and natural coexistence.  Our government's administrative policy for carrying this out is that all other life forms will be led by the president and his small circle of Corporate State and political co-conspirators to either conform or face the likelihood of being killed or imprisoned and tortured for any resistance.

This modus operandi of the Bush Administration of the 21st century was put to work in the erradication of wild horse herds in America, before it became apparent with the killing of innocent women and children and other civilians in Iraq, before it even more recently became quite noticeable in ongoing U.S. government policies of near total disregard for the well being of citizens of its own country.  It is nothing short of facist and authoritarin rule, based on government lies, deceptions and coverups of illegal, inept and immoral government conduct, with virtually total disregard for public accountability.

Again, this can be seen to relate also to horses, as well as people, as it concerns such issues as how horses are handled and otherwise treated and regarded in America.  Probably the scariest part of this, for genuine horse lovers, is that such things as health, welfare and even life and death decisions for horses, both wild and domesticated now are being made, increasingly, by government bureaucrats who know virtually NOTHING ABOUT HORSES, except how to make money off of them or get them out of the way for something else that is more lucrative.  Likewise, the bureaucrats, as well as the national news media, generally have demonstrated virtually a total ignorance and disregard of the overall, true nature of ecology and the environment.

Now, as never before, there exists an most urgent and desperate need for immediate re-evaluation of the MANUFACTURED evolution of the human species versus NATURAL evolution, to the small and isolated extent that mankind even has allowed the latter to continue for other lifeforms in a few remaining wilderness places on the planet, earth.  Historically, these two types of evolution have been in severe and direct conflict, ever since the evolution of modern humans with their so called higher intelligence, which enabled the development of something called civilization.  What followed, with all of its civilized intelligence, was the human species becoming too smart for its own good, setting the scene for its own unnatural and premature extinction.  For, a NATURAL, not MANUFACTURED balance of nature needs to be preserved on the planet for sustainability of the basic life support systems upon which all lifeforms, including humans, untimately depend for their continued existence.  And mankind never has made any such plans to a sustainable degree.

Civilization on the planet has produced ecologically adverse systems of government, dominated during at least the past century by that of the United States of America.  And, it takes no more than an honest, cursory examination of the more than two centuries long history of this government to reveal that it was hypocritical and misguided right from its beginning.  Given the lower degree of all of human knowledge during the earlier stages of this government, many of the mistakes that were made were understandable, although not justifiable.   Then, more and more with the passing years, more and more of this government's mistakes became nothing short of unconscionable.  Today, with the resulting, apparently imminent threats to the preservation of both the existing national union, itself, and the entire human species, globally, all of the failing history of this sometimes called "great experiment" in democracy needs to be reviewed and re-evaluated, in hopes making emergency reforms, starting with such basic govenment doctrines as the U,S, Constitution and the excessive powers of the President. In such an exercise of American patriotism, which may be the only remaining hope for saving the more reputable ideals of our now foundering nation, individual human rights and public accountability by government officials must be restored, with corporate "rights" and government tyranny being eliminated.  The concept of this degree of government overhaul may seem painful to accept and may be far more painful to actually accomplish.  But, the alternative is to let the greed of the corporate state and the corruption of present government to continue on the present course of ultimate, manufactured and legislated extinction of the human  species on this planet.

Our nation should not be bound by it's government of bureaucrats, which government now is hopelessly failing in its present form.  Our nation is supposed to be a cooperative and self determining body of American people, who cherish freedom, justice, compassion, individual rights to self determination and the sanctity of ALL life forms.  Such qualities are essential but frequently inactive parts of the true nature of most Americans, too often overridden by complacency, selfishness and greed.  And, our nation needs to be a land that we gladly and greatfully SHARE with the rest of nature that already was here, before our "founding fathers" moved in.
