Brain Splatter

According to many articles which you can search for somewhere else, CEO's are making what can only be called "that Fat Cash". If my memory serves me correctly the average CEO makes like 200 times what the average worker in their company makes. Ain't that half a bitch?

Yeah, so you might say that this is just another example of the rich getting richer but here is the difference: I am tired of this shit. I am tired of busting my ass and getting dick for it. I am tired of people I know, who make more cash than me and who are just trying to get by paying their bills being worried because money is so tight. I am sick and fucking tired of living in an America where just getting by on a day to day basis is getting harder and harder. It shouldn't be like this in this country. I don't care how the rest of the world lives either. This is America. We shouldn't be moving to live like the rest of the world they should be wanting to be like us.

I mean if you watch the news the rest of the world is a fucked-up place to be. Israel has suddenly decided to bomb the fuck out of Lebanon which in turn is firing rockets back at them. It must be part of the "Let's piss off and give the Islamo-fascists another reason to hate us." campaign by the Israeli Tourist Board. Then you got North Korea and their crazy ass leader with the goofy hair. He is just pissing off everyone with his missiles and bad attitude. His goofy pompadour don't help either. Last fucking thing we need is another Korean war. Fuck that. To paraphrase Vizzini, it would be a blunder to get involved in another land war in Asia. Then you just have that fact that the rest of the world sucks so much ass that almost everyone wants to come here to live. So why the hell do we want to be like them?

I just think that things are starting to get way unfair. When the choice is between having spotless credit or living in a hovel. Or when it is working 80 hours a week and making ends meet. Or when people can't get health care because they make too much money but if they didn't work they could. I think I am repeating myself.

I just think that it is getting harder and harder. I am not a conspiracy nut and I generally think that things could be worse, but sometimes, you got to think, what the fuck is going on? We spend so much time as Americans with our heads in the sand arguing about shit that doesn't matter like flag burning, same sex marriage, and violent video games. We obsess over so-called celebrities who are famous for being semi-famous and yet we have people in this country going to be hungry. Yet we spend billions on a war in a Iraq, a war against terror, a drug war, a war on this and a war on that. Does what happens in Iraq matter if you can't afford food? Does anything matter besides your cold hands if you can't afford heating oil? Is a public that is so scared about losing what they have, working their asses off just to survive, and distracted by the idiot box easier to control and deceive by rich and the powerful who are really in control? What do you think? Laterzzz...
