you should probably understand this about me

my mom was telling me today how awfulawful our economy is right now, how she couldn't believe how greedy the people in charge of our country are. how we're the wealthiest nation in terms of natural resources, yet we refuse to touch our own, even if it means fist fucking our entire economy and lower/middle classes. oil all along the coasts up to alaska. yes congress isn't passing anything to let us drill, they say it's for environmental reasons. which, horray horrah. but that's not the reason why they're voting against it right? because gas in the middle east is like $1.50 still and some fucking middlemen are getting the extra $3.00 EACH GALLON we're paying. think about how many gallons of oil are bought in our country everyday. multiply that by $3.00 dollars. and that's only for one day.
it might as well be imaginary money, i thought.
and it also might as well be 1927 with bootleggers selling prohibited alcohol for four times the face value. you know who was running that? mobsters. organized gangsters.
you know what's also organized and full of gangsters? the american government since 1945. except these cats don't learn their shit from the streets. they learn it from yale and harvard. which is why they're so successful. instead of paying off senators and the police, they pay us off, the people, with enough distractions we'll never focus on what's really going on. with the entertaining news you read and watch every day. with the false belief that awareness of current events is any sort of power, when power is still and always will be, money. distractions like free public schooling. since we were kids, having us learn about what, the fucking california gold rush in elementary school? manifest destiny in high school? MANIFEST DESTINY? most ridiculous mother fucking thing i've ever heard. think about all the things you learned in school with your adult brains now. repeating a pledge of allegance to something you don't understand, it might as well have been church. it's absurd as a turd. and our simple sense of chemistry, biology- anything, most of which we forgot after the tests were completed, can now be relearned years later in 15 minutes on wikipedia when we're actually interested. think for a second how ridiculously slow our learning processes were. everything you actually needed to know could have been taught in a day, but we spent weeks learning insignificant details to pass tests. distractions. if we learned at the pace our brains are capable of, there'd be no bullshit in this country. no false history, no dumb sheepass identity distractions like democrats and republicans. those dealers know a collective knowledge is the ultimate power, but we've been educated in a way to have opinions on issues fed to us rather than making our own issues. that's why the people in our country have ZERO power. haha vote all you want on how you want to get paid off. it's not an american thing, most successful empires follow this method. i can go on for volumes about the horrific system of education in our country. but not right now, i wanna go get a drink soon.
all these things are distractions. even the manufactured things you protest and the reasons you have. you think the problem with president bush is he's a stubborn christian cowboy idiot? do you really think he has no idea the persona he's putting out for us? he's one of the smartest fucking business men in the world i promise you that. and if you think ANY new candidates or future president will change this, give us "HOPE", just remember- a gang leader can steer their mob into a.."better brighter future", but it's still a money making gang of dealers. yes, some will pay us off better than others, with health care or lower taxes. and for this you should be thankful. you have to if you wanna still live here. i would loove to put my efforts into making this all better, but i gotta deal with the goddamn mob called HOLLYWOOD first. that, and i'd rather get funny with my friends at some bar. but go on and get into into all this if you want, just don't get caught up in the bullshit if politics is what you want to get into. sometimes it seems like the only way to make a honest political statement in the 21st century is to blow shit up. and once you start believing that, you're done. (i had to be careful there, don't wanna free speech myself into being prosecuted as a terrorist)
anyway, as my mom was telling me about our awfulawful economy, i naturally nodded along, as i am to do with issues about money and politics.
but i said ma, don't worry. what's the worse that can happen? we lose our house, all our possessions and barely survive, but we'd survive. we'd survive. and our friends and family will survive and we can make jokes about how fucking poor and dirty we are now, we'll always have our sense of humor. plus, they'll never take away our ability to dance.

i've been done for years.
