Wake up!

I have just about reached the saturation point.

I would like to hope that I am just getting older, that every generation before me hit this place with similar thoughts and the world will go on the way it always has -- with nuts, but basically still sane.

I am back to reading library books for entertainment.  There is absolutely nothing on television except cheap reality shows, (screaming) talk shows, violence for the sake of violence, fake manipulative news and talent shows.

Politicians look like snake oil salesmen in B movies and what's even worse is that people are taking them seriously and continuing to vote for them.  We have become a nation of buffoons.

Everyone has a cause. We are so wrapped up in causes that people are becoming inured to them.  Maybe that's why the crazies are coming out of the woodwork.  No one is really paying any attention, so if they sway a few more crazies with their nonsense they come out ahead.

Say anything, don't check the facts, believe anything.  Let freedom ring, or reign, or do whatever it is that people enslaved by greed do.

Behind all the grandstanding are a group of people who know exactly what they are doing and they are succeeding.   The Pied Piper of Greed and Big Business is leading all us sign carrying, sobbing, emoting lambs straight into their banks where they empty our pockets, strip us of any real thought provoking intelligence and pat us on the head before sending us back out to do it all again.
