This same computer that my parents bought for me. Poor children living in poverty don't have this computer, or any computer for that matter. They are lucky to get a hold of a digital watch. You know why? Not because I'm any better or more deserving then they are, but because my dad has a nice cushy job. Yes, my father is an 'executive' at a 'corporation'. Which means, basically, that he managed to swindle more money out of people then Jethro Poor Boy's daddy did, and therefore, I have a computer. Is it right? No. Do I have a point? Yes. The point is, is that our society today flat out sucks. Look around yourself. Maybe take a trip up to your lovely shopping mall. Step into the arcade, and have a listen. You'll hear screams of terror radiating from Terminator 2, see limbs being severed in Time Killers, and you will also see little supposedly innocent kids beating the shit out of metal alligators, to win tickets. Our society is fucked from the start. No one is going to grow up to be a nice and pleasant kid with all these evil influences. Maybe you aren't the gaming type. Step into your local Kay Bee toy stores, a symbol of kids, and the purest example of what we provide for our kids to play with. Play is innocent, right? Well, just about the only kind of toys you will find in that store are weapons of war (that light up, shoot real darts, even make realistic screaming death noises), and sports equipment. Sports stuff may seem passive enough, but when you think about it, what ARE sports? Basically just a game of a war. Hey, maybe if your daddy has a nice cushy job he'll be able to buy you some of that neat stuff for Christmas. Speaking of Christmas : it's a religious holiday, right? Even if you don't believe in that particular religion, your life has been in some way affected by the "holiday" of Christmas. Do you even know WHY people celebrate Christmas? Something about Jesus I thought. I don't even know what exactly. All I was taught was that ever since the stork dropped me off, Santa comes every year to drop off my load of presents if I'm good. Sounds like religion to me. Propaganda is constantly being shoved down your throat from every direction. If you've ever watched a commercial on TV (probably imbedded with subliminal messages) that's a fine example right there. Just about everything you run into in today's society is just propaganda for something or another. How about this: Picture yourself as a young, impressionable kid, going to Burger King with your parents, and they buy you the "Kid's Club Meal". Well, having just learned to read, you are filled with curiosity, and start reading the back that your soy-bean burger came in. You find this (keep in mind that this is REALLY what is on the back of their bags. I have the bag right here in front of me): * The BURGER KING(r) Kids Club is totally cool. We're the Kids Club Kids, and we like all the same things YOU do. We like having fun, whether we're playing or working TOGETHER. We also like doing fun things with YOU. We like sports, and always being GOOD sports ... But what we'd REALLY like would be for you to JOIN the Kids Club. It's fun and free. Just fill out the Application Form on this bag. * Now does that sound like some WWII era Nazi material or what? I bet soon the adult's meals will have advertisements telling you all about how "The Burger King Nazi Party is TOTALLY COOL!". All you wanted was to get a simple greasy lunch, and you end up with trash shoved down your throat. If you've even read down this far, give yourself a slap on the ass for me. Maybe you aren't as apathetic as most of the world is. So I guess you deserve for me to tell you my point of this file, right? Alright, fine. As I said before, our society sucks. It has been fully proven, here and elsewhere that our government (ever notice how we refer to the government as 'they'? As in 'They raised my goddamn taxes for the 50th time to buy a new Stealth bomber'. Isn't the government supposed to be WE, the people?) and our society in general just sucks. So fuck it. Open your eyes, look around you and your life to see what's real. Be your own person, if you feel like going to your local mall, and insisting to people that you are glass of orange juice, do it! If you feel like driving around blasting Barney out of your car stereo at fragile old people, go ahead! Why not? Who cares what society thinks of you, because society is a fuckin piece of bullshit. Other people will find you "strange", SURE, this is not because you ARE strange, it is because you don't follow along with their set of standards that they have been programed with from birth, staring at TV, and eating filet-o-fish. De-program yourself, it's not too late. Turn OFF the TV for good, stop reading the newspaper, perhaps drop a sugar cube or two into your coffee (with MiLK of course), masturbate if you're in the mood, and just sit there and think. Look at your own little plot in the hellpit of life, and enjoy it for what it is. Sure, PEOPLE suck, but that doesn't mean that your life has to suck all the time. Thank you, and have a pleasant night, with lots of lust. Hopefully.
