Looking glass

I open the newspaper these days and it feels like I’ve stepped through the looking glass. This is the first time I’ve ever heard the US government criticize American Indians for spoiling the environment ..or Russian leaders complain about the US overstepping it’s bounds in a quest for world domination ..or Iranians asking US leaders to act more civilized ..and stop threatening them ..apparently it’s the only thing keeping their crazy leader in power. I guess it’s not my father’s Orange County anymore either ..the Vietnamese have taken over ..winning political office ..setting up Buddhist temples and schools ..and listening to Rush Limbaugh. Now they’re the one’s taking up the battle against illegal immigrants ..accusing Mexicans of failing to comply with US immigration laws the way they did ..when I know damn well that most Vietnamese families arrived here on refugee status. Mexican schools cannot afford computers for their children ..but the ones who grow up to become drug traffickers know how to use them. They’re harnessing the power of the Internet ..videotaping the innocent victims of US drug policies .. and posting them on YouTube as part of a public relations campaign.
