It's a damned shame....
Even the fanatics are ripping others off. Just read an ny post article that coulter plagerized some of her book godless. just depresses me, and fuck spelling on this post. I may actually post fairly frequently now...
Its just a damned shame that in 50 years we'll have this to look back on, repeating our fabled mistakes, the mistakes of destroying our freedom. The unreality i experience every day is only made worse by the world around me, so fake in this nation that i can't even feel at home. Many things are wrong, and the things that could be right are poisoned and tainted by the stark evil that is most obviously present in this day and age. The seeds of civil and correct dissent have long grown barren, leaving only trendy rebellion and self destruction. We could take a lesson from russia, as i do beleive this once great country, in moral and ideal, not economic or power, may just gain back its legs in one way or another. Though even in russia violence is rampant, good people being cut down by injustice, the government sometimes joining in for shits and giggles. I pray this country need not a bloody war to rekindle its spirit, and i don't think we're to that point yet.
The casual rebel, in his new jeans, expertly faded, anarchy patches sewn at just the right places, marches out to promescuity, drug use, and chaos. No longer do we have the samuel adams of before, the armed forces and the violent youth, right wing and the criminals, either ending up in jail or in prison or in a pool of blood, dead on the street, throwing away their potential for the simple sake of the false promise of comfort form some vacuum box that taught them how to live.
The spectre of the church, the founding puritans of this country, is growing dim and turning to a ghoul with a shotgun, not a loving yet strict mother. What shocks me most is the change in media in this country, as i have said before. No longer do we have the Cleavers, as god awful and boring as their lives were, we have the encouraging images of violence and death, drug use and abuse, infidelity and lust, to spur and encourage. We're all caught up in this to one degree or another, the damage is clearly becoming apparent, all of these peers, those caught up in delusions that sex and money make them happy being joined by others and encouraged on the internet.
All things are misused now...religion for violence, the internet for filth as opposed to knowledge and discussion, government for manipulation. This country, the world, needs a new example. Although altruism is now dead and gone, thrift and common sense thrown to the wind, perhaps something will rise from the ashes, a figure much akin to those of super hero and comic myth, fighting for good. Or we'll get another Tony Montana, here to control the world, through violence and greed.
