Meds for the little guys.

 We were at the Denver Zoo Saturday just in time to watch a zoo keeper giving medication to the flock of South African Penguins.  

I hate any and all zoos but since my grand kids wanted

 to make the yearly trek to the Denver Zoo 

there we were...looking at doped up wild animals

 bored out of their mind knowing they would forever be kept hostage in little enclosures so that parents can show their little kids what "Wild" Animals look and act like.

  You may as well take the little kids 

to a human prison to see how humans act.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest came out in 1975, it was a different America way back from what we see these days. 

 It was a combination Anti War-Anti Establishment movie. 

 We looked at this movie as the answer to what was wrong back then....We the young back then knew in our hearts what was wrong but felt no one was listening to us. 

 So here we are today...the same things are still broken and everyone knows it and most people know what we need to do about fixing what is broken and yet most people are happy to just let things slide.  One day we will wake up and realize that we had our chance and by that time it will be too late.

To quote Nurse Ratched: " The best thing we can do is go on with our daily routine."

 In 1975 Nurse Ratched became our Big Brother.  Nurse Ratched represents the oppressive mechanization, dehumanization, and emasculation of modern society—in Bromden’s words, the Combine.
