random thoughts

I've been doing a lot of thinking about society in order to get my mind off of other things that haunt me and I've found myself stuck on some thoughts...like how there are so many people who can list off stats for however many baseball players and yet can't even name one vote that any of their elected representatives in government have made in this session of Congress. Or like how so many people can sit through the first hour and forty-five minutes of the last episode of American Idol in order to find out who's going to be the net has-been, yet can't sit through a political debate or speech or whatever to become informed on issues that actually impact them. It bothers me how so many people will hop online and run a search for whatever the hot celebrity news story of the day is, yet can't be bothered to do so to look at current events. This bothers me...after all, this is a (supposed) representative democracy and it seems that it's not too much to ask.

It goes, I think with the way that people will honk their horns in a drive-thru because they're not getting their food handed out to them, without having to even step out of it, quite fast enough. The way that people will curse their microwaves because their not cooking fast enough, how people will toss aside a relationship because it's not progressing quickly enough, how people will rage because the car ahead of them is only going five miles per hour over the speed limit, how people will give up dreams because they'll take too long to acheive, how people will do just about anything to avoid personal responsibility when there's anyone else around that blame can be pinned on.

Yeah, I'm grumpy today.

And to whoever the asshole is that found this site by googling "dad's penis swells inside his daughter"...Go fuck yourself, the world would be better off with you dead.
