Well it's now about 1:00, I'm wide-awake and lonely as ********. Usually I'd be playing D&D with some friends, but that's not to be. Now alls I have time to do is think. What do I think about? Many a thing. I just finished watching They Live. I had never seen this movie before tonight, and I'm ashamed I hadn't. It was amazing. The Movie is about a man by the name of John Nada who is a bum. Literally a hobo. He comes to LA looking for work and tumbles upon a group of men hanging out in a church. At first he just ignores them, until one night there's a huge police raid on the house. After the pigs leave Nada goes in to investigate. After kicking down a wall he discovers a box full of sunglasses. He puts on a pair of them and his eyes are truly opened for the first time. What do I mean by this? The world is not as it seems. There's really aliens among us and he can now see them. Signs aren’t what they appear either. They all have slogans like watch TV, Obey, Consume, Don't question authority, and my personal favorite marry and reproduce. The aliens, after a scene in which Nada calls some rich lady an ugly formaldehyde soaked hag, are revealed to only be the moneyed elite of society. That these aliens are controlling every aspect of our lives. This is personified when our hero looks at some money with the glasses on and the words This is your god Is printed on them.
This movie really got me thinking about the state of affairs our world is in. In this movie the poor and working class are being treated like cattle, we are just here for them to feed off of and use. That's not too much of a far cry to how the world is right now. The rich get to decide everyone else’s fate. The more money you have the more power you have. You'd think that this wouldn't be true, but alas the hearts of man are easily corrupted. WE as the people are used to achieve all by our so-called "betters". We build their cars, we grow their food, we fight their wars, and how are we repaid? We fight, we die, we supply everything for them and what do they do? They increase our costs to live. They raise prices on gas; they make sure that none of us can ever move beyond the position of affairs that we are currently in. The rich get richer and the rest of us get ******** in the a**. There's nothing for us, the people, the workers, the ones who live our lives only to die in poverty. This just the way things work in such a capitalist fascist government like the one instated here in America. We the people take abuse and the corporate fat cats get everything they could possibly want. Is this the sort of government we want? One that doesn't care for the Farmer, or the carpenter? My family has fought and died for this flag in every foreign war since WWI and what do we have to show for it? We live pay check to pay check, we barely make it. How is this fair? How is it right that people who work, and die for a country are ignored? How is it fair that the rich get to avoid strife, they don't go hungry, and they don't lose family and friends in wars? Why do they get to be privileged? I believe that all man should be treated equal. Not in the way that that flimsy piece of paper in DC states. No we should be equal in all ways. One man shouldn't have to go hungry while the man just down the road gets to eat steak every night. I shouldn't have to have my family members die for our flag when the people in charge of it have never set foot into a battlefield. No. All men should serve, all men are equal. All men should get to eat at night, all men are equal. All men should be treated with the same degree of dignity and respect, whether they are the farmer or the Doctor. ALL MEN ARE EQUAL!
Well enough of me speaking my Mind, our government wouldn't like that...Anyways I'm pissed! My phone seems to be on th...e..Ok after some long a** speech like that I just don't think I could switch of to some petty non-sensible thing.
So I'll leave you all with one last thing, to those of you who are going to read this take a guess as to which governmental font I support. If you guess wrong you're a d***o.
