Zombies

With the Presidential election coming up on Tuesday I thought this would be a great time to talk about zombies. No, not Rob Zombie. You know the ones that are dead and walk around causing havoc.

Definition Time: A zombie (Haitian Creole: zonbi; North Mbundu: nzumbe) is an animated corpse resurrected back to life by mystical means, such as witchcraft.^[1] The term is often figuratively applied to describe a hypnotized person bereft of consciousness and self-awareness, yet ambulant and able to respond to surrounding stimuli. Since the late 19th century, zombies have acquired notable popularity, especially in North American and European folklore.

According to the tenets of Vodou, a dead person can be revived by a bokor, or sorcerer. Zombies remain under the control of the bokor since they have no will of their own. This sounds similar to the people who voted for Obama. The bokor (Obama) used this Hope and Change thingy to push us toward more socialism.

 Wade Davis, a Harvard ethnobotanist, presented a pharmacological case for zombies in two books, The Serpent and the Rainbow (1985) and Passage of Darkness: The Ethnobiology of the Haitian Zombie (1988). Davis traveled to Haiti in 1982 and, as a result of his investigations, claimed that a living person can be turned into a zombie by two special powders being introduced into the blood stream (usually via a wound). The first, coup de poudre (French: "powder strike"), includes tetrodotoxin (TTX), a powerful and frequently fatal neurotoxin found in the flesh of the pufferfish (order Tetraodontidae). The second powder consists of dissociative drugs such as datura. Together, these powders were said to induce a deathlike state in which the will of the victim would be entirely subjected to that of the bokor. Sucks out their life force as does socialism to the living by taking your hard earned money and giving it to people that just might not be working as hard or not at all, just ask those that suffered under the repressive boot of the U.S.S.R. Ask them if they would like to go back to Hope and Change. Davis also popularized the story of Clairvius Narcisse, who was claimed to have succumbed to this practice.

Hope and Change, Hope and Change. I sure hope we change come Tuesday and send Obama packing. Don't be a zombie, don't succumb to the bokor any more, enough is enough send the witchdoctor and his voodoo economics back to Chicago before it's too late and we all become zombies of the state.
