Welcome to another undoubtedly screw the little guy year in America — the country which use to be special. Sorry, for my infrequent posts as of late but will try and post more in the weeks to come.
Seriously. Isn’t America just a fucking cesspool of corruption, greed, and “I’ve Got Mine — Go Fuck the Rest of You”. The latter being the absolute best way to describe the political power elite in America. They have no problem with lack of health care for ordinary people or just about anything else. If they need to jump whatever privledge line they find themselves in, they will do it. Meanwhile, ordinary Americans can eat shit for dinner and die because they can’t get a simple antibiotic from a greedy bastard of a doctor who thinks because he went to medical school, he is more important than everybody else.
I reaffirm in 2 – 0 – 1 – 0 that I just HATE this fucking country. I hate the politics that I see everyday in Washington. I hate the special interests and the greed that surrounds all of the corporations. I have that America can’t afford to do the right thing, but apparently can afford to give buckets of money to corrupt corporations in the form of tax breaks. Washington will piss away money on fighting wars for oil in countries with health care but only screw up the system more and more with these bullshit 78 pounds of legislation.
So, let’s talk about the latest attempt to blow a plane out of the sky. First, let’s think about the people who are upset about this. This would be the privledged. The people who get on planes regularly and don’t really want to die in one. There are no homeless on airplanes. There are no jobless on airplanes. But those planes are mostly loaded with fat ass, rich, greedy, and politically connected people. So, whenever some dude wants to make his point by blowing up a plane — oh my god — the rich and powerful will turn the airports upside down to implement new regulations. The latest — nothing on your lap in the last hour of the flight.
Here’s an idea — why don’t they give a shot to every person who gets on the plane and knock them out until they get to their destination. Probably would be cheaper than all the shit security they employ.
Personally, I think there would be a rather decent object lesson to lose a plane every now or then. Shocked! Let me explain.
One of the big problems in America is that the greed and powerful think they are not one of the rest. They think they can do any old fucked up thing to the rest of us and there are no consequences. There are consequences but most of them are too stupid to realize it.
The rich and powerful never think that denying health care might lead to diseases from all of the people who are have no access to doctors and medicines. I think these people need to see a plane — filled with their own kind — fall from the sky with everybody dead. They need that object lesson so that they can start thinking down-to-earth (pun intended) in their daily lives and decisions.
These assholes need to start thinking that this EARTH is not big enough for the fucked up politics-as-usual in Washington and every state and local area in this county.
But no — they will spend more and more money protecting fewer and fewer people from the one crazy who sticks a bomb in his underwear. There will be no discussion about what a person who sacrifice his own life to simply make a point about America. Namely — America is a fucked up place and — worse — it is fucking up the entire earth.
Americans think they are special and consume 1/4 of the natural resources and have insatiable appetites for energy and consumption. They have put the entire world to work producing their crap with below living wages — because — everybody needs a new iPhone every year or some other worthless piece of crap that will end up in a landfill by the end of year. And these shit phones will plow radiation into the head of the users. Why? So that some group of rich stockholders can benefit.
Welcome to 2-0-1-0 and another fucked up year in America.
America is doomed.
I absolutely agree that terrorism is an evil, reprehensible, nihilistic and supremacist doctrine that must be fought. However, it is worth noting that our American free Market system is no slouch when it comes to ruining lives. How many Americans are killed every year from lack of affordable health care? By homelessness? By disease brought on by job loss(it is a proven fact that health issues often occur when people find their jobs being shipped overseas to line the pockets of our corporate overlords). If we want to fight terrorists we should start first with those jokers in DC and those criminals on Wall Street
Like the Bank Bailout…
Al Qaeda says if you don’t do what we want we’ll bring America to its knees.
When the Banksters found their profits in danger they said”If you don’t give us what we want..America will be brought to its knees”
We don’t give in to terrorists but we gave banks 700+ billion dollars. Terrorism is essentially economic and the bankers played it right by the book
Yes Rick, you got it right again. good for U. Stress is the number one cause of disease, especially cancer. Stress raises cortisol levels to extreme levels and begins a cascade of inflamation that wreaks havoc on our entire bodies. There are hundreds, if not thousands of studies, that show stress related cortisol levels to cause everything from atherioschlerosis to cancer. Cortisol is devastating and works through our entire bodily synergy. Iconsider myself to be extremely healthy but was diagnose with prostate cancer after my business (my livelyhood to a hit, as well as my few small investments). Sleep became nearly impossible as I pondered what to do. 1 year after the severe stress began a tumor emerged. I can’t even imagine if I had a wife and children to feed, cloth, and provide shelter for. Yes, the jokers (aka assholes) in Washington and Wall Street have caused this, although the American people must take some blame for living far beyond their means. Yes, they were egged on by the greedy thieving bastards in DC and NY, but nobody forced them to bite off more than they could chew. I have always lived very modestly and thus will survive this somehow. I now cut firewood and sell it becuase there isn’t much else to do. I can catch and sell sea food, but there are no longer buyers. I have learned to sleep better now and I believe my cancer is in remission. And as for terrorist. We have invaded 2 countries, destroyed them, killed untold amounts of innocent people, destroyed their lives and livelihoods in a vain attempt to kill or capture about 100 goofy ragheads. Not to mention we have militarized our police force at home and had most of our freedoms taken away. Have you been through an airport lately? The only people who have recovered from this ongoing and worsening depression are the dickheads who caused it.
Les:
Thanks for your thoughts. Its good to hear that you are still doing well. As for airports yes I did about a year ago and its downright ridiculous. I was put through an x ray machine, had my luggage rummaged through and had my shoes removed. After getting through security I noticed that in one of my bags I had a small pocket knife that I forgot I had packed. I had to go to the security guard and give it to him. So i did their job for them. Some cracker jack security huh? Israel doesn’t resort to such foolishness and its been decades since an Israeli plane has been bombed or hijacked.
