I start my computer this morning and click on what is supposed to be a reputable news site and am greeted with Nicole Kidman changing the color of her hair, Kim K now dating some other rapper and the year of outfits dedicated to Kate Middleton!!! If I cared any less about these three topics you would have to check me for a pulse. This is what sociologist refer to as "Planned Diversion" and the more you read the news the more you will see how true this is. The powers that be fill us up with paternity tests on Maury and lesbian transvestites who ski on Jerry just so we never stop long enough to see how bad things around us really are. We are happy with super sizing fries and hearing about the latest celebrity divorce. We are more up to date on who had a wardrobe malfunction on the red carpet than the fact that North Korea is attempting to play mad scientist with rockets. The national debt is skyrocketing faster than unwed celebrities are adopting little hungry kids from countries that I can neither pronounce of have any intention of visiting but the great majority are too concerned to see if the cast of the Jersey shore are wearing undies when they fall down. As of the writing of this post we are $15,635,058,662,755.38 in debt. If there are 312,677,239 Americans then we are roughly 50k in the hole for each person. This is a made up number that obviously could never be settled.
Planned Diversion has taken us off track. The real stories are either never published, put on page forty of the paper, or so watered down they lose meaning. We are overworked and and underpaid, paying for a house that we will never truly own because even if you settle your mortgage; miss one tax payment and the cops will be more than happy to help you move your possessions to the front curb. We are in a state of emergency here that no one wants to recognize... People are destitute and defeated. There is nothing more dangerous than a desperate man who cannot feed his family and has nothing else to lose. Right now the majority of the protest are peaceful but people are starting to wake up to the horror that is their existence. Call me a conspiracy nut, say I am over acting but they can only amuse us for a little longer with the latest celeb checking into rehab, the time for action is long overdue...
Is it hot in here or am I crazy???
Nailed it! Conspiracy I think not, anyone with common sense can look around and see the writing on the walls. The middle class is evaporating before our eyes and we are all becoming low class citizens. Prices are going up our money is worth less and wages stay the same. 1% earns 93% of our nations wealth. I look at occupy wall street as the perfect litmus test for today's age . Agreed they might not have perfect direction but I see occupy wall street as the white blood cells of America gathering to all of the cancerous spots in america ie wall street. Unsure of why they are actually there but understanding the problem exists. I think it's time for a third party to arise one that is not only for the people but actually represented by them. I won't even get started with lobbyists. Glad to see others starting to wake up!
