Slick Willy, Gorgeous George, and the Whole Damn Mess.
You know, I just realised, there's fundamentally no real difference between the two ruling American parties. Over the years, they've both grown so similiar that it's ridiculous.
Democrats wear red ties, have secret wars, serve corporate interests above the interests of the American people, generally play fuck-all with the environment,and engage in a host of generally craptacular activities that basically result in more and more restrictive laws that inhibit personal freedoms in favor of wide-spread social controls.
Republicans are completely different, in that they wear blue ties.
There's a handful of people out there who protest this or that. They make big paper mache puppets and run around the streets chanting slogans. They occasionally get arrested, and maybe get a shot on the evening news.
Nothing changes, of course, all goes according to plan.
ALL goes according to plan.
Don't worry, I'm just being a paranoiac. You know, ranting about conspiracy theories.
Yeah. Sure. That's it.
You just keep telling yourself that, keep your fucking mouth shut, laugh when the t.v. tells you to, go to work, and be good.
Or else.
I used to think that i could help in some small way by at least spreading information. But then I realised something. You can't help someone if they don't want to help themselves. If all of those "revolutionaries" out in America were serious, they'd quit waving signs at protests, and buy fucking guns.
You think the founding fathers of this country planned on singing songs and holding rallies? Fuck,no. They dumped valuable goods into the sea and loaded their rifles.
Could you see any "Make Love, Not War", "Food, Not Bombs", "I'm in a punk-rock band" kid today loading a gun and saying, "You know, I think I'm going to sit down with a handful of my buddies, draft a Constitution, and start preparing to actually fight for my beliefs in a manner that WON'T be turned into just another dog-and-pony-show for the evening news."
Yeah, right.
We, as a nation, as a people, have become fat and weak. I include myself in that roster, by the way. We've become fat little cowards, so terrifed of chaos, ,instability, pain, and death, that we'd do anything to save our own precious skins. Fuck, we'd do anything to save our own precious fucking playstations. The only risks we take are ones we know other people have safely taken before us, and the only dice we roll belong to other people.
Fuck. I don't know where I'm going with any of this...
I think I'll just sum it up with a quote from one of my favorite movies.
"You're all sheep... and I'm NOT your shepherd."
