Willie Style

i'm an OCD news person, whether it's MSM or blogs or whatever.
i know what's going on anywhere, everywhere, back home, away from home, hometown, you name it.
for you people, there is no reason aside from work and being self-absorbed, that you don't know what's going on in our country.

today is 1 December 2005. our country is being run by imbeciles. have not had the benefit (or detriment however you look at it) of having a tube to gaze at and so i'm just relying on print these last few months to fill me in on the (mis)information always being spread.

i think people are much much too complacent. perhaps it's the uh-merican way.
we take it laying down like a bitch in heat in soft grass on a warm spring day or - depending on which way you swing - like a hungry bottom from craigslist m4m.
we just accept what's out there, what we voted for, how leads us, and the list goes on.

my favorite excuse is the people who don't do their research and just accept what they hear and read.
don't know about you, but *i* was always brought up learning the Benji Franklin quote "Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see."

it is truly sickening in a moral sense the amount of corruption and bribing and money-dealing in politics that is being reported these days.
what good is the money? do they all need Cadillac SUVs and Hummers? do they all need perfect suburban "Desperate Housewives-lookalike" streets and homes?

they all say respect your elders. and i guess if you're an old, white rich guy who goes to the corner Baptist church every Sunday, i'm supposed to respect you more. but it just sours me. anyone can be a crook, a soundrel, a money-grubber, a backstabber.

i just wish a little of my addiction to know what's-going-on-right-now would be contagious and that everyone would be more aware and maybe get involved. someone out there i know might get the itch to do something about it. me perhaps? but i like my life the way it is and not programmed to fight. any takers?
