Is this the best we can do?

I don't know how much of this bullshit I can take on t.v. It's so empty and meaningless with no imagination behind it. Especially these so-called "reality shows." For starters: Kitchen Nightmare! It's entirely scripted and rehearsed. With dialogue, make-up artist, set director, writer and the whole 9 yards. Chef Ramsey may be well respected in the culinary world, but I rather clip my toenails instead of sit through an entire episode of that shit. That t.v. show is stocked with actors. Don't tell me it's not. The same routine, every fuckin' episode; the restaurant is almost filing for chapter 11 because every bite tastes like you have a mouth full of shit. Ramsey's spits the food out in utter disgust. Food is nasty! He goes in the kitchen and bullies the staff. The owner has a mental break down; then he comes back to the restaurant, shit starts getting better. Customers enjoy the food, line out the door, blah, blah, blah. Too predictable, too cliche. The shocking truth to all of this, people really believe this crap. How devastating! This country sits in traffic for two hours after the previous eight hours of their lives were sucked away by ruthless, blood thirsty, money hungry corporations who will let you bite the dust as long as they can score a nickel. Because, the reality is, everybody's expendable in corporate America. And you cant wait to race home from work to witness that fucking garbage on t.v, day in and day out? Oh yeah, almost forgot, retirement pension!
The schools in this country invest more time in teaching our children more about Hitler than they do about Mother Teresa and world peace combine. Eighteen to purchase a shotgun but twenty one to drink a beer? Convicted child molester walking the streets but Martha Steward went to jail? Homosexuals cant marry but every man is treated equal? What the fuck is going on around here? Whats this, the Great American Social Double Standard?
Is this what we have come to America? Considering everything we have created? Every invention, all the medical science research, the evolution of technology, and this is the best we can do when it comes to social living? You gonna tell me we cant improve the design of the social structure so we can continue our civilization? Did the social development of the 60's actually damage America's culture to this day? I believe so, and this is only the beginning. How exciting. I'm not opposed to the disintegration of our country. I enjoy chaos and disorder. No apologies.
I'm obviously not a behavioral scientist or a professor in sociology, but I believe social behavior in this country is going to continue the decline in moral weakness and personality flaws. And before we know it, this false and artificial idea on social behavior will be passed through genetically. Generation after generation. Until global population reaches a social catastrophe to the point of no return and humankind will no longer be able to redeem itself. Now that a tragedy!

Save the Tragedy Stories.

I've had it with the media abusing the word tragedy every time some guy dies. Just because a family of four dies from a fire due to a curling iron left on doesn't automatically count as a tragedy. It's a very sad freak accident. Not a tragedy. Shakespeare and poets write tragedy's. Tragedy is a literary work, in which means the main character comes to ruin as a consequence of a moral weakness. A ten year old boy who finds daddy's gun and ends up accidentally blowing out his own brains also doesn't mean a tragedy has accrued. It's a bad, bad mistake due to ignorance. Also, some man who kills his wife, three children, the mail man, a random guy at a red light, his business associates then pops one in his own head is not a tragedy. It's a massacre, and fun to read about! And every dead, brainwashed U.S. Marine shouldn't automatically qualify to have his own story on the ten O'clock news. Because news means NEW, and a 18 year old American boy who gets killed in Iraq isn't new. It's called a victim of this government. I don't have time for these "tragedy" stories about policemen getting killed, seriously. How is policemen being killed more tragic than a police officer killing an un-armed black kid? We don't see that on the news, do we? No. And if we do, trust me, it's not presented as a tragedy. I'm also tired of some thirty minute CNN special about a baby who has a team of doctors waiting for a heart to be flown in from another country on a private jet contributed by a corporation who is seeking good publicity because they're responsible for killing 200 whales from an oil spill off the coast of Mexico. Or, some dude without a nervous system who just received his black belt in kick-boxing. Or, an old lady in a wheel chair with no arm or legs who helps tighty-up her neighborhood. And a 95 year old paraplegic who finishes an iron-man competition in Finland, then dies from choking on a chicken bone from his airplane dinner on his flight back to America doesn't interest me. The news is fake and meaningless. Also entertaining. The truth is, there are millions upon million of sick people, cripples, drug addicts, dead people, drunks, hungry children, misfits, outlaws, criminals, corrupt politicians and policemen, and there is nothing we can do about it. Once we help someone out, someone else will need help. Once someone cleans up, someone else will relapse. And once someone is born, someone else dies. That's life! Get used to it. Because, fuck sick people and fuck a dead person. Unless I know them, but when the time comes, I'll deal with it in my own terms, thank you very much. I don't need media assistance to deal with what life dishes out. One last thing, the news also puts you under the allusion that everything is gonna be okay when they have those lame inspirational stories about people who beat the odds. Because, I gotta tell ya, in my life, when the shit hits the fan, I don't need the fuckin' news to help me out. Because everything is not gonna to be okay, ok? Just remember, our lives are being sucked away by thousands of ruthless corporations who don't care about you. They don't fucking care about your family, your future and your existence because in the corporate world, were all expendable. Don't forget it!
