A Valentines Thought For Resolutionaries

Political Junkie Turned Love Counselor Claims…
“I Know The Secret Of What Girls Really Want, But I’m Willing To Bet Nobody’s Ever Told You…”

OK already, I know that people out on the street think of Joe L. Buckett as a political junkie/hack and not a love counselor. However, for Valentines Day I’m going to swap my political junkie/hack hat for a love counselor’s hat and see if I can make a point here. You see, in my younger years, after a great deal of research and exploration, I discovered a secret. I discovered what girls really want from a relationship with a guy. Then I found the girl I really wanted, I gave her what she really wanted, and guess what…we’ve been happily married now for over thirty years.

Now I recognize that all the girlie magazines claim to be able to reveal this same deep, dark secret…if you’ll only buy their monthly publication. Their revelations though are so incredibly shallow and predictable that you know what they’re going to say before you ever check out the table of contents. They always “reveal” to you that girls want bigger body parts, harder body parts, trimmer and slimmer body parts, heavy breathing, and a man with a slow hand…and all kinds of other inane drivel that leaves you without a clue about what girls really want. Am I right? You know I’m right. Tell me I’m wrong?

And The Secret Is…
But I’m procrastinating, and I know that you’re anxious to learn the secret that I’ve promised to reveal, so let’s get on with the show. But I warn you, when you hear it, you’re going to exclaim, “My God, I knew that all along. It’s so obvious. Why didn’t I think of it?” So before you get more upset, here’s the secret. And you can quote me to any girl you know and ask her if I’m not absolutely correct in my analysis.

What girls want most of all is to spend their days and nights, weeks, months, and years being actively engaged in activities that are interesting, meaningful, creative, colorful, and just plain worth doing. To be engaged in such activities effectively makes your life meaningful and worth living, right?

On the other hand, what girls want to avoid at all cost is being engaged in activities that are boring, tedious, repetitious, routine, mundane, mechanical, and ultimately unworthy of any genuine human’s legitimate attention. Are you with me so far? After all, doing such things makes your life meaningless and unworthy of living.

If You Really Want To Really Impress Her…
So, if you want to make a really great impression on that girl of your dreams, then put her in situations in which you’re both actively exploring things and places that are really interesting, meaningful, creative, colorful, and ultimately worth exploring… together! And if you do these kinds of things together, she’ll soon begin to associate all those good times with YOU. And when you become the recognized source of all of her great times, you’ll have a huge advantage over your competition, I guarantee it. You’ll be in position to win her heart. Now go ahead and say it. You knew this secret all along, didn’t you. It just never quite lit up on your radar screen. See what I mean?

The One Big Fly In The Ointment
The one really big fly in the ointment though is, what happens if you are personally living one of those totally dull, boring, mundane, and ultimately tedious lives yourself. How in the world are you ever going to create situations full of legitimate excitement and adventure for her, and eventually win her heart if you can’t even do if for yourself? That’s right, if you’re incapable of creating adventure in your own life, what are the odds that you can produce that miracle in someone else’s life?

How Can I Pursue Excitement And Adventure When I Have Bills To Pay…
“Hold on, hold on,” you say. “Now you’re insulting me and making me mad. You see the reason I’m unable to create excitement and adventure in my own tedious and totally boring life is that I’m caught up in the modern economics of making a living. I mean those exciting adventures you keep yakking on and on about require money to make them happen. And in my case, I wasn’t born a Kennedy or a Rockefeller. I wasn’t born on a yacht, I didn’t grow up playing polo, and I didn’t inherit the opportunity to live adventurously. I’m the paycheck to paycheck kind of guy who’s just trying to meet his mortgage payments, car payments, food, and utilities with THE DAY JOB!”

“Not only that, but the company I work for squeezes me for between 40 and 50 hours each week, which means that any excitement and adventure has to be stuffed in and around the stupid DAY JOB. And to be honest, when five o’clock rolls around, I’m bushed and ready to put my feet up. And all you want to talk about is how I need to create excitement and adventure if I want to attract and impress the girl of my dreams.”

I Already Know The Girl Of My Dreams, But…
“But there’s more. I actually know the girl of my dreams and I happen to know that she’s caught up in the same bloody dilemma. I mean like me, she grew up being sold on the idea that hard work, and keeping your nose to the grindstone will get you ahead in the good old USA. But the only thing that hard work has produced for either one of us are two incredibly boring DAY JOBS, which we both loathe, but for the moment neither of us can afford to quit, because, as they always say, A DAY JOB you hate beats bankruptcy and starvation every time.”

“I mean when you say wage slave, my girl and I can both fully identify. When you say industrial sharecropper, we know exactly what you’re talking about. I mean we’re both working the master’s plantation, and we’re both supposed to be thankful to him for giving the opportunity to us instead of some other poor slobs. And if we complain out loud, we’re out on our ears. But honestly, I don’t know what to do about this problem. And without a viable answer, I don’t see how I am supposed to be able create a life full of meaningful excitement and adventure for me or for her. What do you suggest Joe?”

Slaying The Wage Slave Dragon
I suggest that winning a girls heart is, and always will be, a matter of romance, adventure, and slaying multi-headed, tail swishing, fire-breathing dragons. The modern day beast may not always be as easy to spot as the original fire breathers of a previous era. But they’re still very big, very powerful, very intimidating, and extremely dangerous, just like their predecessors back in the days of King Arthur and Sir Lancelot. So let’s have a quick look at four ways that guys today challenge the fire breathing, Wage Slave Dragons of the 21st century, and analyze where they succeed, and where they fall short, especially in terms of winning the heart of your dream girl.

Slaying The Wage Slave Dragon, Level One…
So what kinds of things do modern guys do to spice up their lives, to counteract their adventure and excitement free lives of wage slavery, and to win the heart of their dream girl? Well some guys join the health club and try to make certain body parts bigger and harder, and other body parts trimmer and slimmer. Others buy hot, fancy cars because all the advertisements portray cars as sexy and adventurous. And there some guys who take exotic vacations to far away places, cultivate a taste for gourmet food and drink, become sports or rock and roll junkies, go to movies, play poker, gamble, or worse. And for these guys variety is the spice of life. These kinds of activities certainly are better than nothing. They will provide temporary relief (the dragon still controls most of their week) from the ravages of a tedious and stressful day job, and they will win the hearts of some girls…at least temporarily.

Slaying The Wage Slave Dragon, Level Two…
Another strategy used to slay the wage slave dragon is when you start your own business, work for yourself, direct your own traffic, be your own boss, and eliminate the guy who owns 40 to 60 hours of your life each week so he can tell you what to do, and when to do it, for that specific period of time. Generally speaking, starting your own business is an adventure, and done right, you’ll at least have the potential to eventually own and control your own life, to experience the financial independence (freedom) that employees seldom experience, to create the discretionary time in which real adventure can develop into a way of life, and win the heart of your dream girl.

The problem however is that ninety percent of new business startups fail within their first year. And for those who don’t fail, the owner is usually so caught up in keeping his company afloat, that he still works 60 to 70 hours a week. As the result, the freedom and discretionary time that should be the fruit of his hard work and dedication, is seldom experienced. In other words, although the boss has been eliminated, the wage slave dragon is still lurking in the shadows of the days, weeks, months, and years of most small business owners, and it generally prevents him from ever getting around to creating the adventure, and the excitement required to win the heart of his dream girl.

Slaying The Wage Slave Dragon, Level Three
At this level you and your family actually start to break free from the wage slave dragon. The big antidote for you and yours is when the wealth producing capital that you own generates enough passive income to pay all your bills, and meet all your financial obligations. When and if that day ever arrives, you’ll be financially independent, and free to give your days, weeks, months, and years to those activities that YOU decide are most important and most meaningful in your life, instead of what the boss or the customer thinks are most important and meaningful.

The problem with slaying the wage slave dragon at level three is that it’s extremely limited because so few people ever achieve it, which means that so few get to experience this level of freedom. Furthermore, if this level is achieved, (think of your favorite movie star, rock star, or sports hero here) you’re now faced with the challenge of actively finding something meaningful (yachting anyone?) to do with your life. There are no more excuses because your life now belongs to you, not to the boss or the customer. And if you’re unable to solve that little dilemma, you’re destined to come face to face with the vacuum of meaninglessness and ennui, which has caused many a privileged human to escape into the bottle, the needle, or some other self destructive behavior.

Not only that, in the current confused economy, the natural tendency is for capital (and financial freedom) to accumulate (be monopolized) in the hands of a few (YOU) at the expense of the many, which itself is the root cause of social unrest, crime, and what we now call TERRORISM in the 21st century. And while this level of dragon slaying may win the hearts of many girls, that real girl who wants to live a meaningful and fulfilling life will probably find this level of adventure extremely shallow, and meaningless. But at this stage you’ve certainly broken away from the grasp of the wage slave dragon yourself. On the other hand, you’ve left most others on the hook and struggling to free themselves from the monster’s grip. And one of them could be the girl of your dreams.

Slaying The Wage Slave Dragon, Level Four
At this level you will be encountering the dragon at its most dangerous. You’ll be encountering him at the systematic level. To do this will not only require tremendous courage, but tremendous skill, and tremendous knowledge of your opponent. You see at this level you’ll be attempting to destroy the Wage Slave Dragon not only for yourself and your girl, but for people all over America, and eventually the world. Talk about a real live adventure with wide ranging consequences! This one really is the big one!

And to even entertain such an incredibly outrageous thought, many of your friends will laugh at you, and think you’ve gone completely off your rocker. But if you really understand the immensity of the stakes, the nature of your opponent, and method by which you can win this epic battle with history’s most ferocious beast, you’ll be able to chew up all those criticisms and spit ‘em out, you’ll find the heart to persist, and you’ll win, not only the heart and respect of your dream girl, but the hearts, minds, the respect and thanks of generations for years and years to come. You’ll also feel good about YOU.

I Suggest That You Ride To The Rescue Of Your Damsel In Distress…
So as a political junkie now turned love counselor, I work with people like you all the time…people who are facing exactly the same problems. My suggestion is as follows. I suggest that you first take stock in yourself, then leap into the saddle of your proud black stallion, draw your terrible swift sword, and then ride off to rescue your modern day damsel in distress.

I suggest you devise a clear and potent strategy with which you can successfully go toe to toe, eyeball to eyeball with this all intimidating, fire-breathing dragon who has his bloody claws wrapped around the lives of both you, your girl friend, not to mention most of the world’s people, and slay this dragon at level four, once and for all, in such a way that he never ever rears his ugly head again.

Identifying The Enemy
But if you’re going to accept this incredibly romantic and adventurous challenge, with any realistic expectation of success, it’s essential that you fully identify this enemy, and to know as much about him as you possibly can before you mount your lethal attack. So let’s start that ball rolling by giving the dragon a name. Let’s call him…
· Concentrated wealth/power
· Concentrated capital ownership
· Anti-democratic capitalism that benefits a few at the expense of the many
· A system of wage slavery
· A system of industrial sharecroppers
· The Federal Reserve and The World Bank
· Thought control through ownership and control of the mass media
· The modern and thoroughly confusing political shell game
· The Republican Party owned and controlled by the corporate elite
· The Democratic Party owned and controlled by the corporate elite
· The Libertarians, the Socialists, the Greens
· Shock and Awe
· Etc…there are lots of other names, but these will do for starters

Learning All About Your Enemy
Now that we’ve given the dragon a name, an identity, the next task is for you to learn all that you can learn about him, including his strengths and his weaknesses, so that when you mount your attack you will succeed in bringing him to the ground, and you’ll be in a position where you can cut off his head, and finally slay this dragon once and for all. I mean once he’s down, you’d better keep him down, right?
Now in my own prejudiced view, the best way to become well informed about the characteristics of this absolutely hideous, modern day dragon is to check out several good websites that explain this subject thoroughly. They include…

www.joelunchbuckett.com
www.americanrevolutionaryparty.us
www.cesj.com and a number of others that are referenced on these three sites.

Then You Will Cut Off Its Head, And…
And once you’ve made a thorough study of the enemy, you need to gather your troops and prepare for the attack. At this point you will have approximately 45 months to gather your team together. At the end of that period of time you will mount an attack that will bring this modern fire-breathing dragon to its knees, you will proceed to cut off its head, and mount it on a stake for all to see.

Finally You And Your Girl Will Ride Off Into The Sunset, And…
In the mean time you will have courageously gone toe to toe, eyeball to eyeball with the largest fire-breathing dragon the world has ever known, lived through 45 months worth of romantic excitement and adventure in the process, rescued not only your damsel in distress and won her heart, but you will have rescued yourself and many others from the dredges of wage slavery and industrial sharecropperism at the same time. And after all that, I think it will be safe to say that you and your girl will be able to ride off into the proverbial sunset and live happily ever after. What do you think?

P.S. Ladies, the excitement and adventure recipe works just as well on guys. I say let’s all ride off, slay this bloody dragon, and finally live meaningful lives of our own. While we’re in the process, let’s help our kids and their kids, etc., etc. to do the same. And if we fail to achieve that noble goal, we have nobody to blame but ourselves.
