From a young man being asphyxiated in a cell by police (doesn't matter if he was guilty OR if they deny a cop did it) to a mentally ill woman dying alone on the floor of a waiting room after security guards, nurses AND a doctor neglected her, I am thoroughly disgusted with how little anyone in this country cares about anyone else.
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ALL OF YOU?
What if you got a call at lunchtime Sunday, right after whatever religious service you attend, and were informed your son had died while in isolation in police custody? What if your mother, so trusting in the ability and professionalism of the people paid to take care of her, died on the floor of a waiting room, while people looked on and didn't care?
It is time for a goddamn revolution. It's BEEN time, but people have forgotten how. How about we start by fucking paying attention to how horribly people are being treated? GET ANGRY, PEOPLE. Wake the FUCK up. Life is not term papers and grade point averages and drinking games. Maybe to some of you it is, but I like to think there's more. But as long as the majority of you are content playing flip cup and ignoring the dismal state of affairs because it doesn't personally touch your life, then we're going to plunge further into this shithole our country has driven itself into. Land of the free? Free to do what? Go to Disneyland and eat McDonalds? Wow, what freedom! By pledging allegiance to our flag, you TOO can become a slave to corporate consumerism and an economic structure where only white males can really succeed. New plan: Fredericksburg, Philly/Cali for a spell, then getting the fuck out of here and expatriating. I'll test the theory that the US is the greatest country on earth. I beg to differ already but some people like hard evidence, so off I go. Unless of course hell freezes over and we turn this disgusting country around. Because almost 21 years have gone by with NO PROGRESS. In fact, shit's gotten worse. Explain that.
