While a true democracy (which we do NOT have) may be the best way to rule a nation, democratic systems are not always on the level. So many people in this nation are so convinced that the government is keeping them safe from the terrorists and Communists that they refuse to see anything bad about it.
They refuse to recognize the fact that we do not directly elect our leader. Every voter could cast a ballot for candidate A in 2008, and a properly bribed electoral college could still simply elect candidate B.
They refuse to recognize the fact that this bullshit oil war is spawning more terrorists than we have ever killed. In fact, they reufse to recognize that it IS a bullshit oil war.
They refuse to recognize that the government has its claws in everything. News and print media, publishing of all types, the internet, just about anything you can think of, the government is likely to have a heavy hand in it. I don't think they are, but I would not be too surprised if the NSA has a special division created to read dissenting blogs.
They refuse to recognize that Area 51 does exist, that we do not know what is contained there, and that people who try to find out have disappeared.
They refuse to accept the fact that there is almost no way in hell that Oswald killed Kennedy, and refuse to do any reading whatsoever on the subject besides nice, clean, government-sanctioned BULLSHIT.
And finally, they refuse to accept any of the above, because their parents, teachers, preists or pastors, and whatever media they commonly use for information, have brainwashed the living crap out of them. They refuse to take off their rose-colored glasses and see the blood-red dark side of the government, and they will be the first ones to speak up in favor when Congress and the president roll us right into full-on fascism.
With all due respect for them, they disgust me.

Nasty Joke
The joke that follows is extremely nasty. I've told it too a lot of people, but I wanted it too be on here, too. If you have real problems with nasty jokes, DO NOT KEEP READING. Also, if you don't know what a leper is, and what leprosy does to the body, go find out before you keep reading.
A leper walks into a bar and sits down. He talks to the guy on his left while he drinks his beer. The guy turns to look at him and starts gagging. The leper says, "If I'm making you sick, I can leave. It's no problem, I'm used to it." They guy says, "No, no, it's not you. Here, let me buy you a drink. " So they sit there a bit longer, talking and drinking, and the guy looks over at the leper again. He starts puking all over the bar. The leper says, "Look, I can leave, it's no trouble." The guy wipes his mouth, and says, "No, it's really not you. It's the guy on your other side."
"He's dipping his chips in your neck."

More Music Posers
Hmmm. I was informed that my blog was being neglected, so here I am again, pissed off and ready to vent. Let's begin, shall we?
There's this kid at the school who keeps bringing a guitar to school. I don't know him personally, some pseudo-emo Mexican guy. He may be the nicest guy in the world, but he cannot play, and it's pissing me off. See, I also play guitar, and while I am certainly not as good as some people I know, I know enough to know a good player from a bad player.
He's not a good player.
Normally, this wouldn't bother me so much, except that he's brought the guitar every day for the past two weeks, and everyone he plays around keeps talking about how good he is. He frigging sucks, alright? I can't blame them; they're the kind of kids who listen to stuff like simple plan and green day. The crap of the musical crop, y'know? But still, when I was watching him play at lunch the other day, he took about 30 seconds to change chords. I think he was going from A to G. I'm not sure. I was sitting at the table and he and his idiot friends had taken over the Gammagon like they do every day at lunch. I swear to god, we have got to start exerting authority over that slab of concrete all day or the bastards are going to try to usurp it in the morning....
Anyway, back to the guitar poser. He needs to stop bringing that thing. Some of you might remember the scene from the toga party in Animal House when John Belushi takes the guitar right out of some loser's hands and beats it against the wall. That was suggested this morning. Seems like a god idea, but I like to restrict my property damage to people who actually have major property, by which I mean old people. But that's just me, I can't speak for everyone. I can say, however, that the next person who tries to tell me that this guy is such great guitarist is gonnna get smacked.
