Torn

The Line

Pacific Rim's Mako Mori portrayed by Rinko Kikuchi

I want to get as close to the line as possible

Without falling over and becoming viewed as a full blown-

It may seem hypocritical, but the

complexity of history concerning governments and their nations, their people, is much more intertwined

for me to believe simply that all are just, equal, and same.

I see the U.S. lack of representation of Asian-Americans

save for [highlight-donning love interests] who are both appealing for audience members

and keeping up specific standards of who [heroes are and what beauty and handsomeness mean]

NOT being Asian males

unless you need a computer accounting math programming technology wiz at the fore.

It creates dissonance to see that media can bend so cleanly

to write up [scathing articles for whatever could be linked to the present perceived danger,] or the clear and present danger as some

would have it.

Right or wrong, just or not, [comics] [news television presidential speeches] prepared [by world-class masters of rhetoric]

are quick to [burn Russians in The Cold War]

tarnish [Vietnamese]

[Middle Easterners]

[Chinese] (and others)

and are so slow to account for shortcomings

even in [shootings]

except when it can lead to gun safety/control, or can be blamed on race religion political affiliation extremism, or can further a

money-making war-profiteering agenda

where NONE of the capital gains go to military veterans serving THE Capital and its head.

This explains why [officers] swear by the constitution

and the commissioned swear for The President.
