My dear signals..
Many of us feel this way.. for one reason or another. I can identify most closely with the part in the movie when he confronts the gang members in the
field and they call graffiti a sign. Until relatively recently I was involved with local politics and law enforcement.. had contact with many out
there both good and bad. Ive dealt with gang members and politicians.. and iin truth they arent much different IMO. The thing is that the average Joe
or Jane out there is insane. In my opinion anyway.
I woke up one day and said to myself basically.. wtf.. Ive went to sleep and awoken on an alien planet.. bizzarroworld.. who the hell ARE these
people.. are they in fact human or rational sentient beings of ANY kind?
Not that I feel Im so superior.. but I do happen to be sane. What am I to expect from life when within one day I comfort and work with the legal
system with a mother who's 14 yr old son was shot on her front lawn in a drive by gone bad and 20 min later have lunch with the Mayor and CHief who
tell me we do not have gangs in our area and theyre entering the town into the "all American Town" contest? The kids blood is still on the sidewalk
and porch while we are having this discussion for Gods sake. What am I to think when I meet with GD and they say a shipment of X is coming from
Detroit and will be sold by so n so at a skating rink cause white kids have more money.. what am I to think? Couple this with what goes on in our govt
and what the average joe or jane does in their lives.. Im at a loss.. and I understand "falling down". I understand wanting things to hit the fan
and reset this craziness we live within. It would take an apocalypse of society or environment to wake the insane up.. or kill them off. This crap
goes WAY beyond folks being "asleep" or hypocrisy. It surpasses societal break downs and misinterpretation of freedoms. SOme of you here praying for
a reset.. you will be swept up too.. you are not above this.. youre a part of it all as I am.
I believe we have neglected to evolve. Maybe we have flushing toilets and Ipads, but we are one fraction away from pitchforks and bonfires, holy wars
and loincloths. We still throw spears at the huge moon ( or spirals) out of primitive fears.. we are still as self centered and sociopathic as any low
browed cave man one may have manufactured.We are feudal and primitive at heart. WE are the polished turds of the universe.. and its sort of getting
on my nerves.
This is not doom.. this is the way of things. There is no societal evolution. WHen you finally figure out that its all crap, you no longer fear
"falling down". You also see everything for what it is.. a distraction or an absurd play you are stuck watching and they demand audience
participation.
Some of you identify with movies or songs or books.. then there are those of us who are just severely pissed off and know there will be no renaissance
in our lifetimes.. or at any time probably. The majority of the Joes and Janes are insane.. and they dont like change much regardless of any benefit
that could be had by falling down and getting back up. It is said the definition of insanity is repeatedly doing the same thing and expecting a
different result. Tell me what you see...
TY op.. for the opportunity to rant on the side. Whew.. now I want some breakfast..
