Big Sleep in the City

Question:

Can the PUSSYCAT poem be set to music as readily as CATS? "PUSSY", a poem to challenge CATS, the Broadway musical extravaganza http://www.angelfire.com/de/CassandraCrossing/PUSSY.html

Response:

"Small scale agriculture just doesn’t pay in Mexico anymore. Agricultural commodity prices have collapsed – whether we are talking about coconuts, or mangoes, or oranges, or coffee, or bananas, whatever. This does not mean you can buy these products cheap at the local market or Walmart. It means a limited number of massive agribusiness operations can supply the national and export markets, exercise monopoly control over supply and demand and set prices. In the case of coconut oil, imported industrial by-products brought in under new free-trade agreements, have made coconut farming and the concomitant lifestyle in coastal Guerrero superfluous."

I fully agree.  NAFTA sucks. "One good thing i can say today, however, is, … this Mayor Mike Bloomberg may be the best thing to come into town since the 50s. He is embracing the schools, the parks, the landmarks, the historical areas, the poor and the engraged blacks, with open hands, and nobody has detected any insincerety yet. Everyone is waiting with hope to see what will happen."

I worked years ago with Mr. Adrian at STREET NEWS in new york, when it was still affordable there, and Street News was on a competitive level with VILLAGE VOICE [not any longer]. Who else has his vituperative writing style? [quoted below] "If we encouraged an over-supply of MD graduates, like we do in our redundant numbers of essentially dime-a-dozen lawyers [i believe there is a lawyer for every toilet in America, the math comes out the same ... for the last few years enrollment in MBA programs has dropped as precipitously as our economy and available jobs, and applications to law school have risen dramatically, like a sudden erection], then the generous numbers of graduating residents and interns [never as lavish in numbers as today's glut of lawyers, but we should wish for such good luck!] would have no need to work more than a 35-hour-a-week shift in the hospital. In addition, all physicians and residents should be restricted by federal laws to never work more time than 55 hours weekly for a hospital. If they wish to work longer hours in the week, they can volunteer their unpaid services to a community clinic. I don’t think more than .05% of the American population would not applaud the extended education of a physician, where he or she could not capitalize on the title "doctor" until they were 35 years of age, or even older. Most U.S. citizens are not in the least bit opposed to laws prohibiting doctors and lawyers in the United States from earning more than an educator on their normal salary. And I’ll bet that one-half of that small percentage quoted above couldn’t care a cockroach’s whisker WHICH prestigious university the lawyer or doctor attended. Americans simply relish satisfactory social justice, confirmation that their trust in governmental leadership is well-placed, and last but certainly not least, medical fitness. We are still in the trenches of our mean and bleak societal warfare, reminiscent of the "us versus them" 90s America, in which nearly every social program was drastically cut back, strangled, deconstructed, or extirpated by its roots."

"Dear Friedrich,  I would like you to come down for a visit to Zihuatanejo. This is so you can have a rest, get yourself partially detoxified psychologically as well as physically, and return to New York with your batteries recharged. We can extend to you typical Mexican hospitality and supply you with Mexican homecooking. (Today, we ate parrotfish -"loro"- which is a rare delicacy).  Obviously, I would like to discuss matters with someone capable of original thought. Such people are rare today – not more than 4% of the population. I realize your economic difficulties and I know most people do not want to uproot from routine even for a week. You are comfortable in NYC. New York is your home, and I should visit you there. Obviously you are joking about doing manual farm labor down here. The pay is 100 pesos a day or about $11 U.S. The dangers, and I am not exaggerating here, are poisonous snakes, scorpions, heatstroke, swarms of wasps, and African killer bees. Small scale agriculture just doesn’t pay in Mexico anymore. Agricultural commodity prices have collapsed – whether we are talking about coconuts, or mangoes, or oranges, or coffee, or bananas, whatever. This does not mean you can buy these products cheap at the local market or Walmart. It means a limited number of massive agribusiness operations can supply the national and export markets, exercise monopoly control over supply and demand and set prices. In the case of coconut oil, imported industrial by-products brought in under new free-trade agreements, have made coconut farming and the concomitant lifestyle in coastal Guerrero superfluous. So it makes no economic sense to even raise coconuts, let alone pay farm labor wages or pay for gasoline and an irrigation infrastructure. An economist or money-grubbing gringo would label my operation a "hobby farm". However, to me a coconut orchard, like a redwood grove, is a cathedral of nature and I feel a quasi-religious attachment to it. To raise a coconut orchard, to identify with the contact with the soil, is a religious duty I must carry on – just like the Mayan (as well as other tribes) Indians planted their corn, for sustenance of course, but also as a keeping-of-faith with their Gods. (Who created man from corn, according to Mayan legend.) Wars were suspended at planting time. Anyway, I carry on. A lot of what I say is not mainstream, is not fashionable and is not politically correct. If you think something I have to say might interest someone else, go ahead and pass it on. I could pay you $11 a day to teach me about computer use down here in Mexico, if you really feel New York City will never recover. That would be proper use of your skills. You wouldn’t bleed to death after cutting yourself with a machete working for me like a bracero. Nor would you need tetanus and malaria booster shots. Don Juan "Freidrich von Preussen writes:"

"Don Juan, I am now looking over my shoulder for a stray Mexican roadway bandito, and/or a lurking scorpion or African Killer Bee, in my sock drawer. The $11/day working at your place teaching you what i know of computers sounds appealing, especially the conversation part, … the same is true even here in NYC [you would think a city of 20 million, would have one million intellectuals, who seek each other out … not true; there may be only 5000 independent intellectuals, and they don’t live near one another and can’t figure where to find their counterparts because the rents are too high and everyone lives in an isolated region, with no cafe nor bar to sit and fish for new friends
