The Beer summit
Ugh. Here we go.
Really America? REALLY? Who the hell cares. I'm sorry folks. I have a lot of American friends whom I love deeply. This is in no way a statement on the people that live in the USA, simply on the country has shaped itself. Not even the country. no, the media. What. The. Hell. I just. I don't get it. Plain and simple. I simply don't get it. This is not politics. Democratic politics are about working on laws and legislation that advance society. When did it change? When did being in power in a democratic nation become a game of tiptoeing with your words. When did it become ok to sacrifice your morals and what you stand for in order to not offend people. I'm just sick of this nit-picky word game that we see being perpetuated by the bloodsucking media. Whoc ares if Barack Obama said the police acted stupidly. They did.
Why do they do this? Why does the media develop these fascinations with insignifigant side stories? This three-ring circus we call society? When there is so much going on. I'm not even talking about when people in other countries are dying. I mean, when the sexualization of advertising and of television is at its peak. When parents would rather stick their kids in front of the box and wash their hands of parental duties. When a McDonald's burger contains all four food groups. How about when the division between the upper and lower class is getting larger and larger. When we're even seeing a chasm forming between the middle classes. When money is continually pumped into an inherently flawed economic system that is destined to come crumbling down, instead of implementing major reforms.
So, why with all of this hapening - when Western society is at it's lowest level of Debauchery - are we fascinated with Obama inviting a white cop and a wrongfully arrested black man to the Whtie House for beers? Or why does Nancy Grace sit on TV and yell at me about "Little missing Caylee" or whatever the flavour of the week is. Why doesn't the media work at reporting current events. Why doesn't it tell us that we're wrong. Tell us that we should be afraid. That we should change. That our system isn't perfect. And that there is absolutely nothing wrong with admiting that. Why doesn't it take a page out of Peter Griffin's You know what really grinds my gears!?! "You know what really grinds my gears? You America. F*** You!" (Again, I must re-iterate, when I say America I mean the western world. All countries who's media and economy are centered around the same neo-conservative zionist base. Because I'm not trying to say we are any better. Canada is in many ways, much worse.)
I'm just so sick of turning on the TV and seeing reality TV has invaded TLC (The Learning Channel) and seeing this laissez-faire attitude with the state of our world. I'm sick of politicians using this "economic crisis" (I think it's more "Economic Statement being made by God") for partisan gain. I just want everyone to swallow their effing pride, sit down, shut up and move forward.
ARGH!
