We're running 2 wars and watching countless other examples of man's

[Raven]

inhumanity to man. The planet is melting, the global economy is in a saute pan. People are homeless, dying, killing eachother, ripping babies out of other peoples' wombs, and

WE ARE FUCKING WATCHING WHAT BEER THE PRES DRINKS WITH A DUMB COP AND AN ARROGANT HARVARD PROFESSOR.

I'm a few years short of Medicare eligible but maybe God should take me now and get me out of my misery.

We are watching and the MSM is feeding us this shit. SHIT!

1. ,,and uselessly railing on politcal message boards,,,

[Raven]

2. Ooops! I guess that's me railing...sorry, my bad, I'll shut up. You talk.

[Systematic Chaos]

3. Railing or not, it's true and people have the right to vent.

I gave this post one of the R's. Damn straight it's a reason to be pissed!

4. Arrogant? You mean uppity.

Bit of a cognitive dissonance there. Here you are complaining about inhumanity, injustice, and what not.

So here a black guy gets arrested in his own home, and you blame the victim.

5. It's a wonderful world of colonized minds

I still cite one of Hunter Thompson's later, prophetic insights as to where our species is at just now:

"Big Darkness coming soon. Count on it."

6. well...look at it this way ...

it's no worse than their mj coverage.

They miss the big picture and the most important and salient points in every story, person, and issue, as usual, and what of anything they do bother to either report on or just make up out of thin air, is so slanted, skewed, and twisted, you can cross-country ski down it or it's completely unrecognizable from the original facts.

The "news" media - is nothing but tabloid trash - destruction for profit. Destruction of Democracy, the economy, the environment, many extremely important issues that need to be in the national conversation but are not because the "news" is polluted with so much garbage the facts are nowhere to be found, and destruction of people - many good people - like Howard Dean for instance.


My best advice? Turn it off and DO something to support what you believe in.
