How might I annoy you so much it might keep you up nights? Let me count the ways...
#1: The awful truth about the American Dream: You have about as much chance of ever getting rich as you do of discovering you're Microsoft's Bill Gate's secret lovechild.
The stock market, lotteries, real estate, college, business, invention, the internet-- they're all the same as playing the slot machines in Las Vegas. I.e., all players but a token handful will be losers.
To get rich in today's America you've got to inherit it, marry it, or steal it.
See the proof for yourself.
#2: If you're an American citizen in 2007, you might believe you've got rights-- but you don't. Not a single one. Heck, other folks actually own all your stuff-- and could force you to give it up at any moment. This even includes your very flesh and blood and bone, and who you are (your identity). You own nothing at all. You ARE nothing. At least once a particular person somewhere decides to flush you down the toilet.
The Constitution and Bill of Rights mean nothing at all anymore.
You're never further from homelessness or worse, than a single decision on the part of someone somewhere you don't even know.
See the proof for yourself.
#3: Think America's the best and most noble country in the world? Are you living in 1950 or what? America went over a cliff many years ago, until today it stands poised to become the most dangerous third-world nation on Earth (check the ever worsening infrastructure, healthcare, and inequality), possibly a theocracy like Iran (all three branches of government and much of the mainstream media now pledge allegiance to Christian evangelists), only with more nuclear weapons and a bigger military than anyone else on the planet. Today America has to start new wars on a regular basis just to justify its never-ending national war footing since World War II.
See the proof for yourself.
#4: If there is a God, all available evidence points to him being a hideously evil entity, who prefers to hand out money and good luck to folks who'll at best squander it, and at worst kill millions of innocents with it. So you better hope God doesn't exist! (That would mean we mainly have to deal with random acts of evil, rather than purposeful ones on His part).
See the proof for yourself .
#5: If you think being a red neck Republican or a rich Republican either one is good for you or America, you're either one of the richest 1% of Americans income-wise-- or among the miserable rabble that dutifully thinks the way the richest 1% tells them to, through most of the mainstream media outlets owned by those same rich (DUH!). It's only logical that the rich pay zero taxes and get the most government help, while everyone else pays taxes and gets the least government help-- right? Isn't that what Jesus said to do?! Hallelujah!
See the proof for yourself.
Got a bubble you'd like to see popped? Drop me a line here and I'll see what I can do.
