Culturally Illiterate America
The majority of our population stares at their palms. Many people drive while staring at their palms killing others and themselves. Many people seem to talk into thin air staring into space. Many people shoot each other, especially in North Carolina. People antagonize you by exceeding the posted speed limit. Law enforcement fails to ticket those who speed instead buying pole-mounted cameras to do the work for them. One must stand in line often. Jazz is dead. Music is dead. Radio is dead. Rock 'n' Roll is dead. There are no jobs. Health insurance premiums are outrageous. The earth is warming. How could I possibly assert that there are other less economically developed nations that are more culturally developed than what Charlie Rose continues to call a "Super Power." Super Power? Really? What is the National Debt? Is it real? Does it really matter? Maybe Tyler Durden thought so. What is important? What has created this void of enlightenment? Capitalism. Failed Capitalism. Which state has a law on the books that prevents a woman from stopping sex? Who could have thought of such a thing? How could what bathroom you use make it into the State House? Who are the hillbillies running North Carolina. How am I here. Why am I living in this state? Why am I living in the country, No Country for Old Men? Progressive. Conservative. Clearly America has stopped progressing, and we have landed on the plantation. Blacks are picking cotton, frying hamburgers, and bagging groceries at the poverty line. Many ethnicities are picking cotton, frying hamburgers, and bagging groceries while "The Man" drinks mint juleps Moro Lago. What is Moro Lago? Who can I get one? Do I want one? A lot can be learned from "Shakespeare in the Bush." Give it a read. What is important in America? Why is Trump in the White House? It took eight months for Trump to turn into Bush. Now he is going to give Secretary Tillerson his precious minerals at the expense of the American people in the name of freedom from something we know nothing. Isn't there a clause in the Constitution or Bill of Rights which allows the American people to expunge a failed government. No, it is called a coup. Coups have happened in many countries. There was one in France. It is well known. There was one in Russia. It was called "Animal Farm." Do we want another American Revolution? Do we need another American Revolution? Against whom will the rebellion be? The aristocracy? "Let them eat cake. Let them look at my designer clothing and eat cake." I wonder if her husband eats....? I think not. "Muffy?" "Yes, dear?" Why am I getting lewd? I don't want to, but the White House is lewd. No, they are crude. Begging for a bullet? So it would seem.
