Iowa, Harvard indictments and the electric chair
The State of Iowa breeds a lot more than just corn and Canadian tornados, it breeds the collaborative process.
-She came from Iowa State University and wore a Harvard Business school sweatshirt.
-He (moi) wore MIT sweatpants.
Together they collaborated. Period.
The sweatpants were in pretty poor condition, Jane admitted. Hey, now wait one cotton pickin' minute! This ain't 1944, Germany collapsed in 1945 so you actually have a right to be flat broke and not be able to afford decent pants Jane. The economy never fully recovered after that war. So explain yourself Jane! "WHO EXACTLY IS LENA BAKER!?" And don't bullcrap me!
What a sad question you have just asked yourself. Shame on you. Shame on all of us. Lena who? Well, feel an invented Harvard educated privilege in knowing that she (during her short cotton pickin' life working for her abusive boss) was important enough to merit this referential 3.5 hour creative collaborative session (actually 210 minutes to be exact) tonight regarding an upcoming developing performance that will be dedicated in her memory. Like George Carlin, those responsible for her electrocution by Old Sparky will be rightfully indicted on stage. "But how? How can you do this...it happened so damn long ago. Hitler times. People thought about Germany, not Georgia. No one really cares, and didn't this woman have a drinking problem too?" you stupidly said to yourself (actually you stupidly wondered instead because you are too lazy to look at the data & facts about Lena). How will this indictment exactly take place Jane?..."Performance Art dummy," Jane said. You see, court reporters stupidly documented her corrupted one-hour jury trial and there is a need to hark (defined as: to heed-hear-listen) attention to her name beyond her quiet grave in Georgia.
She was murdered with dignity on her face in the electric chair. She had the stare (scare) of Stockholm Syndrome.
"what I done I did in self-defense or I would have been killed myself. I have nothing against anyone." - Lena Baker, trial excerpt.
For years Lena had no marked grave. Thankfully, some humane folks cared enough about her life, and gave her one. So bye Lena. I am so glad that we have now made your acquaintance. Stay tuned for your show. And one hope's that there is little truth in Carl Jung's concept of The Collective Unconscious in your family bloodline. At least this writer hopes so. And the slogan of "Hope" is what got Bammy aka "The Obama Show" elected to begin with. bye.

p.s. The term, Stockholm Syndrome, was coined in the early 70's (and before the Al Pacino movie, DOG DAY AFTERNOON) to describe the puzzling reactions of four bank employees to their captor. On August 23, 1973, three women and one man were taken hostage in one of the largest banks in Stockholm. They were held for six days by two ex-convicts who threatened their lives but also showed them kindness (without buying them pizzas). To the world's surprise, all of the hostages strongly resisted the government's efforts to rescue them and were quite eager to defend their captors. Indeed, several months after the hostages were saved by the police, they still had warm feelings for the men who threatened their lives. Two of the women eventually got engaged to the captors.
