It's Too Damn Quiet

It ain't natural.  I have a lot on my mind with our primary elections occurring today.  For the first time I had to show a picture ID to the election official and say my name and address orally as confirmation of my North Carolina state driver's license.  My gut feeling is fraud is occurring on a massive scale.  I can feel it.  It's too damn quiet.  The polling station was empty.  No one cares, and I think the majority of folk living in rural North Carolina don't give a shit.  There ain't no changing it.  America is what she has become, and it is what it is.  Listening to John Kasich accept his win in his home state of Ohio did nothing to change this.  America is not going to get better.  America is a shadow of her former self, and there is no American Dream.  Like the science fiction thrillers America will descend into anarchy raging against the machines.  The machines will make money for the rich.  We all ready have destroyed the planet, and it won't be long before we all will be living indoors paying the man to keep us happy.  We all ready are doing it.  Just walk outside.  There is nothing out there to make us remotely happy.  Instead our environment invokes bitter hostility and thus violent behavior.  We are blowing people away, and our American army trains for it less then five miles from where I am sitting.  In particular this weekend  the homosexual vibration is rampant.  What gives?  Does warm weather inspire sodomy?  I was surrounded by gay men at the movie theater.  The root of the decline of America is education.  While few of the active candidates have told us how they could change America for the better, it has become apparent to me that the root of America's decline has been the lack of quality public education.  It surrounds me daily.  Impoverished North Carolinians have no other route to a successful live.  Impoverished Americans nationwide share the same fate, and no one in government seems to care.  George enacted "No Child Left Behind," and teachers began to teach to the test.  The statistics may have risen temporarily, but all one must do is travel around the country to discover why America has declined. Public education is all that many have, and we wholeheartedly have dismantled it.  Teachers once were respected members of society.  Now they are dung.  Americans are ignorant, because they are too poor to learn any other way.  The public system of education built this country, and now it has failed us.  When I am in dismay surrounded by ignorant red necks who only know what they have lived, it is apparent why they are ignorant.  Education is what provides that window of change.  This is why people migrate.  They go where there is opportunity, not bondage and oppression.  Without public education we all our subject to this bondage.  How is Dillon supposed to know that there are other types of people in the world than the red necks with which he attends school?  Certainly television is not providing an example of literacy.  Certainly American popular music is not providing an example of literacy.  We are teaching to the bottom the way it is intended.  President Obama says the way America is today is not the way America is.  I must digress.  Donald Trump inciting racial violence at his Nazi rallies is the perfect example of the way America is and always has been.  We just have been more successful in other decades disguising it.  Without the shimmer of popular culture (Apple) the smell of our shit is pungent.  There is no covering it up.  We are ignorant and racist, and exposing it is the wisest thing.  We could continue to fill the pie holes of our constituents with poisonous junk food, and keep them addicted to their iPhones.  We are a race of zombies, and no one seems to mind.  When summer begins to last six months with +100 degree heat each day, maybe the zombies will wake up.  We are encroaching upon this figure today.  2015 was the hottest year on record, and it only will get hotter.  It will get hotter.  The polar ice caps will continue to melt at an alarming rate, until flooding will be common.  Massive storms will envelop us, as the earth continues to groan from the strain of excess.  America all ready has been what is possible, and now we will continue to decline into anarchy.  It is best to prepare now.  Wake up and smell the coffee.
