A feeling of impending doom...

I used to be pretty much, well, retarded.


Things that used to upset me are trite, and it takes a lot more to shake my cage.


A bill is about to pass in the Senate, increasing our national debt by, oh, about 8 gazillion dollars. At my expense. At your expense. And I truly believe that there is nothing we can do about it. Nada.

...kind of sucks. But it's also going to give unlimited monitoring rights to the IRS... rights to monitor all of your purchases based on credit. I hope you aren't too upset by that, because you see, you're paying for that, too. And so am I.

Crap.




On the bright side, it could be a lot worse. Look at some parts of Russian (sans Moscow); Africa, Latin America and the Mekong River region. People are just trying to survive. It could be that, I guess. Instead of fussing about our shitty, ever-growing-into-Big-Brother government, we could be thankful that we have places to live, food to eat, and (for now) the right to worship who, what, where, how and when we want.

The really bad part, as I see it, is the fact that shit could be a LOT better. But it's not. And it's pretty much our fault for not seeing this coming.


"Shoulda voted Ron Paul when you had the chance..." ****.
