Well it has been well over a month since my last post, my apologies to enthusiastic readers though I presume there are few.
The US Supreme Court recently raped over 100 years of precedent, opening the floodgate to the putrid fluids oligarchy. If my readers are not so informed, the decision was Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission which overturned the longstanding law limiting federal campaign financing for big businesses.
My response is: HA! If you thought this country was on the track to descend into oligarchy in a century, try a DECADE now. Or less.
Or maybe I'm wrong and the sedated morass that was the American voter has been replaced by the bright shiny young liberals of my generation....were it so easy *sigh*.
Although let me get back to that contention on oligarchy. Perhaps it is a bit overboard to assume that this decision is so devastating. My more realistic analysis is that there will be enough lag-time between the decision and elections for voter outrage to take hold. Because OI! the 2010 Senate elections are just around the corner, voters are PISSED at Congress for not getting shit done, and despite the potential increase in moneyed influence, I think we will see a Democrat super-majority restored. Point being:
TED KENNEDY OR NO TED KENNEDY, WATCH THE FUCK OUT, CONSERVATIVES, AMERICA JUST WOKE UP AND SHE'S ANGRY AT YOU!
You think Scott Brown is your Teabagging savior? WRONG! He's another idiot who smeared his way into office using the influence of powerful private interests that do not represent America.
Last I checked, 72% of Americans want health-care reform. Conservatives want to spread the lie that the opposite is the case. This must be recognized for no more than what it is: a blatant lie to the American people.
The Democrats though have been equally pretentious, expecting Republicans to transcend party lines to "come together for America". All that has done is foster their obstructive behavior and literally BUY more time for the insurance and financial lobbies to shovel more money into our political system.
New issue: fatasses.
There are 59 million of these lardbags within the borders of America. Let's not pretend that this problem just went away amidst all the socio-political brouhaha.
They are a burden on our already unmanageable health-care system. Obesity doesn't just mean disgusting appearance, it means weaker immune systems (tell me with a straight face that wouldn't increase medicine costs), increased risk of blood and heart diseases including type 2 diabetes. Most horrifically, increased risk of certain kinds of cancer, an affliction that takes more and more lives each year.
But the problem I believe really lies in the repulsive image it casts of the United States to the rest of the world. Personal liberty? I'd say if you're tubby enough to require a scooter to get around, your 'liberty' ended at the fast-food restaurant counter. If you're opulent enough to afford something as selfish as liposuction surgery, you cast an even darker image of America; the America where the ends ALWAYS justify the means, the America that gives accomplishment a cash price. Ironic, corpulence has traditionally been the mark of proud aristocracy.
"Change we can believe in" starts with you and I. readers. Spread the word on healthier food and excercise. Another step forward would be to start boycotts on fast-food resaurants and unhealthy food.
If we do not lead ourselves, if we do not teach ourselves and learn from our mistakes, the Obama years will be just like the Clinton years; private interests shitting on the will of the American public, smearing progressive policy as "communism" and vomiting more insidious racist propaganda into the midst. America may not be "king of the world" anymore, but we certainly will not stand idly by and become mendicants to tomorrow's geopolitical economic lions.
Write to your congresspeople. Tell them what is wrong. Write them once a week.
Prove to Wall Street that this is still a fucking democracy!
Assertive, aggressive, LOCAL (as in city/state/county) action is what the country needs. Make America better by making YOUR America better. It's not an old model: if you can't get the Federal government to take action on an important issue, take the damned thing by the balls! Moves for women's sufferages failed horribly as a national effort but when addressed at the state level, nearly all states allowed women to vote. By this time, it had convinced those in the national legislature that America had spoken, and the Constitution was amended.
AND THAT WAS 1919! Surely, we can pull of something like that if not BETTER!
Well that's all for now, my vast army of fans. Post your enamorance/hate below, or help spread my evil through the magic of social-networking sites.
Peace,

My hopes for 2010
Well happy fucking new year! Really happy you and I made it through the first decade of the 21st century, because so many didn't.
I'd like to believe the idiocracy of the 2000s could be left behind but I know that won't happen just because the year changed.
So, as a child of the 21st century, I'd like to leave my readers with some impressions I have had of the world and America and life.
When I was a wee li'o second grader I witnessed angry religious kooks fly airplanes into civilian buildings and kill massive amounts of people. Then I saw one religious kook who was not chosen by our supposed democracy, bomb the living shit out of and then continually occupy a third-world nation which did not attack us.
When I was a wee li'o sixth grader, I was convinced that I was doing a better job educating myself than my public school was, and that angry religious kooks needed to be removed from office. I went door to door and campaigned for Kerry-Edwards, sometimes having doors slammed in my face with absurd comments like "fuckin' commies" and that sort of blather.
Now, at the venerable age of 17, I see religious kooks holding signs that say "bring down Obamacare" and "impeach the Kenyan".
And as an American, what do I know about the rest of the world? Well, honestly, not much. Although I know this not to be true, America could just as well be the only country in the world, because nothing I'm taught in school or at home suggests otherwise, other than the occasional reports of federal tax dollars being spent on bombing the living blubber out of countries that could just as well be figments of our imagination. However I know this not to be true.
What have I learned about America?
I've learned you can work hard to pursue your passions which you are presumeably free to choose and usually earn a descent living; I've also learned that you can do this every day you live and then have everything you knew dashed to pieces before your eyes because of someone else, and see them reap the rewards.
I've learned you're free to do what you want, unless it's naughty. You're free to ponzi thousands of people out of billions of dollars worth of wealth one way or another but can you snort an innocent little line of coke? NO! BAD!
I've also learned something about retribution. If someone robs a bank, are they forced to truely repent by perhaps not being paid to clean their lavatories for a few years? No, they sit in a small cramped tax-dollar provided space where they consume taxpayer resources and give nothing whatsoever back to society.
Ah, America!
Also, I've learned that kooks, of any political leaning, will NOT listen to the voice of reason. So therefore, I'm free to say,
RUSH LIMBAUGH, IF YOU LOVE THEOCRATIC TOTALITARIAN BRUTALITY SO FUCKING MUCH, GO LIVE IN THE ISLAMIC FUCKING REPUBLIC OF I-FUCKIN'-RAN!
See? Even to the untrained brain, that CLEARLY was no voice of reason, and as you, my loyal readers/assailants have probably pieced together, I am no voice of reason.
WHAT ASSHOLES? I'M SEVENTEEN! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU EXPECT?
Well as my readers know, I tend to have a miserable dystopic rant followed by something a bit more positive to lighten the mood and leave you at least slightly more uplifted than you were whilst reading through the preceding paragraphs, so here goes:
In 2011, I'll be able to vote, and you damn well know I will. I encourage my fellow youth to vote regardless of your political sway, because democracy is a participatory sport, it only really works if everyone raises their hand at some point, whether it be for one side or the other.
I enourage anyone and everyone who is willing and able to get involved with community service projects such as Oregon Food Bank and Free Geek (look them up on Google or a comprable search engine, I don't want to bother with links at the moment). Whether you lean left, right, or just don't give a shit, it's important to see where we ALL matter, in our communities.
Well one thing I've learned about our American society is what it's missing: love. Real love, not the shit you see on TV. Love your friends, they need you. Assuming the situation is reasonable, give a random person a nice hug. "Accidentally" drop a dollar or ten in a public place. Smile at people you don't know. Give someone a random compliment.
Well, I hope you've all enjoyed my various ranting, bitching and dreaming, I know it's been a while (aww, did you miss me?). As per usual, post your enamorance/hate below, or send me a message or comment on MySpace or Facebook.

Why people on the left with balls and brains need to take over society
I recently read a hateful piece denouncing American teenage subculturalism. Without giving you a link, I'll just promptly counterpoint every bit of blubbering bullshit this site had to say.
The site said that the subculture is the reason for the high suicide rate of American teenagers.
That is wrong. The perpetuation of conformity through religious scare tactics and mass-media marketing is the reason.
Which is more dangerous, a televangelist telling a bunch of adolescents that homosexuality is wrong, or some teenager painting his/her nails black?
Which is worse, the 500,000 or so American teenagers that commit suicide for whatever reason or MILLIONS of Congolese or Rwandans who continue to starve and die every day? DO YOU FUCKING CARE?
Which is worse, a teenager wearing makeup, or a makeupless teenager getting beat up or put down because he doesn't play football like all of the rest? It happens, people.
Well you know the obvious answer from me, but I can attribute the shittiness of this website's arguments to this: SHITTY PARENTING. First of all, your child has the right to wear whatever the fuck they want to begin with, regardless of what you think.
Secondly, even if your child isn't DRESSING "punk" or "goth" or whatever, doesn't mean they wont when they leave home, or even adopt those attitudes because they see through your shitty shitty shitty values.
Third, if you think your child is just become another "mindless misanthropic zombie", maybe you should consider how your child thinks about your religion, and how mindless and zombielike it appears to him/her.
My point is, you shouldn't control what your child thinks, it's part of their growing up, if you're really so fucking worried about your child comitting suicide, GET YOUR CHILD A FUCKING PSYCHIATRIST, and stop bitching about how the subculture is destroying your child's "morals" which supposedly they're getting from YOU, although all things considered if you really have a problem with your occultist little brat it probably means you're a right-wing cocksucking piece of shit anyways. Case in point: I'm in the punkrock scene, I dress it, I act it, I play the damn part, and my parents not only TOLERATE it, they LOVE it, being the good free-thinking open-minded liberals that they are. They are not perfect, we do not agree about everything, but nonetheless they have never bothered me about the way I dress.
My contention here is RIGHT-WINGERS MAKE SHITTY PARENTS.
The following is on a slightly different topic, still having to do with right-wing shittiness.
Other than being a continous cespool of hateful intolerant bilge (pause for irony), the right wing is also a breeding ground for corruption and a shitty economy.
Conservative thought on wealth is that the supply-side of the economy will be stimulated by the spending of money by those who have wealth. This is wrong. The reality is that the wealthy HOARD wealth. I'm no Huey Long but if you make a 7-digit salary, the underclass could use some of that even if it's an indirect funding of jobs, or an unemployment benefit. If you can't pay a measly 50 grand out of your 7-digit income, well then, FUCK YOU.
The people who SPEND the most money, and are therefore the true basis of our economy, are the middle class. I'll conveniently state why neither the working class or the wealthy are: the working class is too preoccupied with living expenses (and perhaps even going into debt from that alone) and the illegal substance market (untaxed, mind you), the wealthy are few, and therefore the purchase of a jet or a mansion or some large is expense is fairly insignificant compared to the overall economy (GDP is close to $14.2 trillion). Therefore, the true mass consumers in our economy are the middle class, who posess a moderate amount of wealth, enough to pay living expenses....and perhaps a HDTV in the living room, or a computer, or maybe they shop at Whole Foods instead of WinCo.
Conservatives will bitch about how increased taxes and government spending are "communist" or "socialist", that's pure bullshit. If the American left was communist, they would demand complete seizure of every American's wealth to the treasury. And even the few socialists on the American left demand taxes that are FAR under any socialist country's tax rate. 34% ? Tough luck, pigfuckers. During World War II the wealthy paid close to 90%.
Like it or not, the government can serve public interest better and farther reaching than even large charitable donations by the wealthy. We're a country of 300,000,000, which is tiny on the global scale; we shouldn't have homelessness or poverty. But we do. I would encourage dormant or borderline leftists to tune out the fear mongering of the right and campaign in the name of our humanity.
I'd also like to post that I have registered to vote and WILL be voting in 2011. With that, my regards to all my readers, post your enamorance/hate below, or on MySpace/Facebook.

Fighting the machine, the real way.
Far-leftists like to fantasize and just about wet themselves about "breaking the system", "fighting the machine" and that kind of crap.
In my opinion one needs to climb the cruel ladders of capitalism before being so quick to criticize its legitimacy, morality, et cetera.
Idiots, if you haven't figured it out, the system, the dominant, militant system, the one that keeps YOU safe (assholes), can also be run BY YOU?
If America has taught me anything, America is ABOUT selling out.
I can say that the way to own America's politics, is to own America. Why? Say you're a candidate seeking campaign funding from a private interest....let's say that happens to be a large insurance company. They are INCREDIBLY powerful. Even if that candidate's constituency favors one kind of legislation or another which may limit the reach and influence of said private interest (and in the case of America, insurance conglomerates ARE indeed the dominant private interest), this candidate will likely loose not only campaign funding from that insurance company; that insurance company is EXTREMELY likely to do things like run fear campaigns to scare middle-ground constituents away.
Why can't congress pass a health-care bill with a public option? Because every single one of them is in the balls-in-vice-grip of insurance conglomerates.
Reasons I think this is the case: the biggest voices coming from congress (the "tea-bagging" crazies on the right, and the Blue-Dog Democrats, Joe Lieberman, et cetera) are the ones who receive or are threatened with significant incentives to strike down efforts for health-care reform.
But here's where the true-left Democrats forget: this is NOT about health-care reform, this is NOT about people's lives, this is about MONEY and POWER, things which insurance companies have gobs of and will do anything to keep their tenacious fat fingers coiled tightly around congress. THAT is why we do not, and in my opinion will NEVER have a public option.
*Ahem* Not that I wouldn't want it myself, I stand behind the moral-left standpoint of "everyone deserves coverage", and I really think conservatives need to shut the fuck up about us "having the best health-care system in the world". YOU ARE FUCKING ASS-SERVICE.
Woah that's a good insult, I'm going to make a short-term goal to use that on someone I can't stand...
SO! After all of my mopey there's-no-hope-left ranting, here's the small glimmer of light: how I think the left can clobber insurance companies.
A step in a better direction would be to form insurance companies (wait for it) that go by OUR rules, and out-compete the large conglomerates that way. It won't be easy, but I believe it would be far less of a challenge than trying to defeat them in congress. Step 2: LOCAL legislation. State or even city law which mandates or even OFFERS health-insurance for the populace, or at least regulates insurance companies in more practical ways. The federal level follows more money and power and is therefore more vulnerable to corruption and collusion. State and city officials are under far closer watch by their citizens than the national government (believe it or not, Sam Adams is under FAR more political scrutiny than Ben Bernanke).
Ahhhhhh the catharsis of blogging.

Misery, human misery, humanity
We are made out of lies and fear.
From day one, we are taught not to lie. Always tell the truth.
As we grow, we discover that telling the truth is not so fun, honesty won't get you what you want. It's the predominant lack of quid pro quo that creates the need, if you don't have anything but some exterior facade of grandeur, that will buy you all the happiness and favors from anyone and everyone.
Everything we do, we are motivated by fear; we go to high school and college and work because if we don't we fear death by starvation.
We arm our nations because we are afraid one will attack the other.
Whether fear or lies are reasonable or not, they exist and their prevalence is indisputable, but yet we would sacrifice anything and everything to defend "truth" and "justice"; but like so many before us, they are our truth and our justice, and any morality differing from which are "their", "lies".
What truly irks me is the hypocrisy of all of those values. Here is an "honest" account of what humanity's "true" "rules" "should" be.
1. Killing is OK. Shit happens, people have been dying for a long time, murder, disease, whatever, get over it.
2. Stealing is OK. No, fuck that. Encouraged. That would give people a better sense of the value of their "possessions". If you make people vulnerable like that you can at least expect people to arm themselves.
3. Build a vast, bloodthirsty empire. Go ahead, do it motherfucker, history shows: biggest asshole wins, why bicker about morality when you have bullets and bombs?
That's it. Three simple rules, which encapsulate the raw nature of humanity; what we call "civil rights" are what I personally call "if I fuck with there's going to be shit to pay". That's fucking civil rights right there, if for whatever reason, for example, a police officer sees fit to knock the living snot out of you, (and mind you here I am speaking regardless of the situation) he or she can do it, and there will be NO shit for them to pay, and MORE shit still to come for you to pay. That's a fairly mild example though.
People like Al Gore and Bill Bradburry (both of whom I favor as a humanitarian) will go on about "sustainability", but the reason humankind has prevailed is BECAUSE of instability and insustainablity. The fact of the matter is that there are just too many people all trying to live the same way at the same time, too many people wanting to make more and more people, too many people wanting to live longer and therefore consume more resources for a longer amount of time.
But through all of this dystopic misanthropy, I remain a humanitarian. How, one may ask? Well, you see, soley because I BELIEVE that human nature is damned and flawed in every way does not mean I believe in persuing such catastrophic paths; quite the contrary, I believe that in the eventuality of removing such barriers, we will all see what matters to our survival and the narrowing view of prosperity, if those things are what "we" are really trying to achieve.
The reason I contend that things will not change in such a way is one of the other damnable yet desirable aspects of human nature: lust for power. Those with power now are so desparate for it they will commit every penny of their fortunes just to maintain it. I would. I know I would. And I know damn well you would too.
My repositories of misery and distrust have been effectively and verbosely depleted, please post your enamorance/hate below as usual, or if you reached this blog from MySpace or Facebook, message or comment me there.

It's the predominant lack of quid pro quo that creates the need, if you don't have anything but some exterior facade of grandeur, that will buy you all the happiness and favors from anyone and everyone.
Everything we do, we are motivated by fear; we go to high school and college and work because if we don't we fear death by starvation.
We arm our nations because we are afraid one will attack the other.
Whether fear or lies are reasonable or not, they exist and their prevalence is indisputable, but yet we would sacrifice anything and everything to defend "truth" and "justice"; but like so many before us, they are our truth and our justice, and any morality differing from which are "their", "lies".
What truly irks me is the hypocrisy of all of those values. Here is an "honest" account of what humanity's "true" "rules" "should" be.
1. Killing is OK. Shit happens, people have been dying for a long time, murder, disease, whatever, get over it.
2. Stealing is OK. No, fuck that. Encouraged. That would give people a better sense of the value of their "possessions". If you make people vulnerable like that you can at least expect people to arm themselves.
3. Build a vast, bloodthirsty empire. Go ahead, do it motherfucker, history shows: biggest asshole wins, why bicker about morality when you have bullets and bombs?
That's it. Three simple rules, which encapsulate the raw nature of humanity; what we call "civil rights" are what I personally call "if I fuck with
People like Al Gore and Bill Bradburry (both of whom I favor as a humanitarian) will go on about "sustainability", but the reason humankind has prevailed is BECAUSE of instability and insustainablity. The fact of the matter is that there are just too many people all trying to live the same way at the same time, too many people wanting to make more and more people, too many people wanting to live longer and therefore consume more resources for a longer amount of time.
But through all of this dystopic misanthropy, I remain a humanitarian. How, one may ask? Well, you see, soley because I BELIEVE that human nature is damned and flawed in every way does not mean I believe in persuing such catastrophic paths; quite the contrary, I believe that in the eventuality of removing such barriers, we will all see what matters to our survival and the narrowing view of prosperity, if those things are what "we" are really trying to achieve.
The reason I contend that things will not change in such a way is one of the other damnable yet desirable aspects of human nature: lust for power. Those with power now are so desparate for it they will commit every penny of their fortunes just to maintain it. I would. I know I would. And I know damn well you would too.
My repositories of misery and distrust have been effectively and verbosely depleted, please post your enamorance/hate below as usual, or if you reached this blog from MySpace or Facebook, message or comment me there.

Changes to my blogging, and Humanistic Nihlism
Alright, I think my small handbasket full of readers have figured out that I haven't posted every night. I haven't made good on that promise, and so I hereby apologize and present a new proposition: I'm just going to blog whenever either something that I perceive as shitty happens, or when I think that there's something worth blogging about or I just need to unload my emotions. It might be every day, or every two days, or once a week, whatever. That's the new thing though. Don't worry, there will be copius reading to be done.
I spent the last couple of days watching "Fight Club" over and over again, picking it apart.
I have to say, the first time I watched it I was more tripped out than the first time I watched "The Matrix".
And I've been thinking to myself.
What is my Americanism? I believe it is my desire to live a perpetual amnesic existance, eating storebought food, playing videogames, posting self-indulgent and lose touch more and more with the world outside my homeoffice.
This is the kind of thing I think Fight Club gets me thinking about.
Today, I started writing a brutal-ass metal song. I'm going to call it "Cinders and Fleshrot". Brutal.
Now here is a list of people who need to lick a fat hairy STD-ridden CUNT:
Glenn Beck
Rush Limbaugh
Sarah Palin
Michelle Bachmann
Every single congressional Republican
Glenn Beck
Richard Cheney
Robert Reiner
Ann Coulter
Glenn Beck
Lou Dobbs
Glenn Beck
Glenn Beck
Glenn Beck
Glenn Beck
Glenn Beck
Glenn Beck
Glenn Beck
Glenn Beck
GLENN BECK NEEDS TO FACEPLANT INTO A DIRTY FILTHY GROSS CUNT.
I'm working on learning to read music with this thing called Fast Keys, I'm not sure how well its working...
Anyways, sorry for the short post, but I must dash!

More proof that the world really does need "world police"
Or so I would say.
The human world is as full of shit as it was 100,000 years ago.
We are up our asses with morals, laws, and the like, but we forget the age old lesson: people are going to do whatever the fuck they want regardless of surrounding religion or rule of law.
Some examples:
The slave trade, or "human trafficking" for you politically correct types, is still alive and well and contributing TRILLIONS of dollars to the world economy. No one's hands are clean. There are NO countries in which slavery is legal, and yet there is the practice of slavery in EVERY nation. National governments don't do squat to squelch the practice, because it is economically beneficial. It's free money. Free resources. What nation would turn that down? None. Not even the good ol' USA, nope, us with out morals about treating people right and giving everyone a shot ENDORSE slavery, especially by the preachiness of our human rights policy; we'll talk till our lips turn purple about how bad slavery/human trafficking/prostitution/etc is but our foreign and domestic policy ENDORSE it, and our governments turn a blind eye to it because IT BRINGS IN BIG FUCKING CASH. What to do? Legalize and regulate mass human labor, because whether you like sweatshops or not, they're not going away just because some pompous assholes on Capitol Hill or the Kremlin signed some piece of ass-wipe paper that says "no sweatshops/whores blah".
Number two: substance trafficking. Western nations and governments are red in the face with right-wing evangelic morals about how terrible substance use is and how the only way to get rid of it is to make it "illegal"; but of course, HUMANS NEVER FUCKING LEARN: PEOPLE WILL DO WHATEVER THE FUCK THEY WANT, NO MATTER WHAT PREDOMINANT RELIGION OR GOVERNMENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT. Whether you like it or not, people will use cocaine, heroin, speed, whatever, EVERY FUCKING DAY, AND THERE'S NOT A GOD DAMNED THING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT, AND IF YOU THINK YOU CAN, OR IF YOU THINK YOUR SHITTY RELIGION OR GOVERNMENT CAN CHANGE THAT, YOU ARE FUCKING RETARDED, GO FUCKING KILL YOURSELF. What really needs to happen is every nation in the world needs to legalize all these "naughty" substances, let the piggy pharmasudical industry do its thing. All this militant prohibition is doing is causing bloody violence, more people die in illicit territory control and supply chains than from actual substance use.
If you believe in prohibition, FUCK YOU, THAT MEANS YOU THINK THAT HUMAN MURDER AND SECTARIAN VIOLENCE IS MORE MORALLY RIGHTEOUS THAN SUBSTANCE USE. FUCK YOU STUPID SHIT EATING COCK-GAGGING CUM DROWNING CUNTED PIECES OF SHIT, YOU ARE WORTHLESS MAGGOTS WHO DO NOT DESERVE A LIFE. FUCKING KILL YOURSELVES.
As I have said before, the UWG is the ultimate solution to the human disease. This is another life dream of mine, I hope other's will see through the lies of conventiality, even the status quo of American liberalism is absolutely pathetic, please, I urge you to think about this even if you do not agree with it, and please PLEASE, talk to me about it.
Goodnight readers, MySpace/Facebook users post on my profile, otherwise post your usual enamorance/hate below.
