“US”

/ sensiblesmith
  • I was “inspired” to envisage this after I had just seen a commemorative program on Ken Dodd. It described a wonderful person well liked by any he met, providing enjoyment to many. It occurred to me that if his life were to be reported on by a journalist today some failure would be sought to provide interest, rather than simply reporting on this as a fine example of goodness in humanity. It is for this reason that “Us” is pronounced with a Liverpudlian accent without trace of sarcastic hoot.
  • The Us philosophy allows no “them” or “they” living on this world just Us. If they have landed then please refer to Roddenberry
  • For persons of my age race was used in words such as racism but the main thrust of it related to the human race. Thus I have the world of Us populated by tribes large and small, multitribal and so on. Therefore to me such words as racism etc belie the purpose for which they were formed. They are devisive whereas “the evil side of tribalism” is more inclusive and useful for Us.
  • Younger of Us would have the world populated by a species Human comprising many races, This still allows the “Us” since any philosophy incapable of improvement lies dead on the ground into which it was supposed to be planted. The common  “words” of Us are the feelings in all of the individuals of Us and the aspirations to do good for the tribe, race, specie etc The printed word can have whatever some of Us like to ascribe as to the meaning  but Us can always sense a feeling that is common to all
  • Us is then a theory which has to be useful at the time for its purpose quite capable of, and essentially requiring, change to increase its usefulness. Since it deals with Us it will never become the axiom.
  • When referring to Us always treat it in the singular indicative. I have not made a grammatical mistake when one appears to have happened. Rather it appears in my text to cause an itch that calls for the scratch of the posterior rather than the tearing of lumps. The anatomical reference takes in the different time zones of the Us, and repiaces that which is usual. It might also result in the irregular irregular becoming a positive food for thought. This treatment of the old adage emphasises the need to consider the languages used by the Us concerned and perhaps look for a common language when addressing Us. The usual is perfectly acceptable in the U,S and yet was considered course or rude in the U K.
  • Looking for Smith to give sensible illustration it might be worthwhile to consider the following jotting and thought
  • ONE FOR THE TEAM
  • Smith recent is strolling along with grandson on his shoulder It is a home match and he is an avid West Ham supporter hoping that the lad he is carrying will follow in his footsteps. As they approach the road a west ham supporter throws the half empty can at the Tottenham team coach “Its people like that who make us ashamed of ourselves he remarks”
  • Now moving somewhat forward to the away gane a similar situation developes. once again the home side supporter baptises the away team’s coach, But who is riding on the shoulder as a grandad inflicts yet anther pearl of wisdom, “Its people like that who make Us ashamed of ourselves he remarks”.
  • Optimistic, tortoise like, the grandson of the original carried is favoured by Smith.
  • A SAD GREY
  • Having been away from home on a 3 month stint I discovered that all colours except Black and White had disappeared. All shades were gone. This appeared to my eye to provide a dingy outlook while this pallete was used. The implied cry to” come in the waters fine” was to my mind not helpful. The particular waters at the time being distinctly undesirable. It caused me to question.
  • “If colour be only skin deep then why to near the bone to mention”
  • “Might be in deep water here thinks Smith”
  • One final observation.
  • Since closing time approaches (for me at any rate). In repeated intelligence  tests I have been informed that I closely approach the upper quartile. I was quite pleased at first as I considered these results proffered  by kindly  examiners.  Later of course I was led to consider that,, due to the plausibly indolent life style led by the 25% of world population above me, it was likely that not only the opinions would carry considerable weight.  I would therefore be better out from under from these discussions striving to help Us as Us tribes,, races etc get increasingly sqeezed by climate change and increasing populations. I have therefore made my decision.
  • Since Us, rather than a bill of rights, has the more stringent list of obligations, I will seek to find the right questions of the much maligned intellectual  elite. They only require these to give them the best chance of solving Us problems if only like others I have the wit to ask them.
  • Thus the wrinkly’s rant completes.
